This guy has unbelievable control of his bike. Back in the day when MTB racing was new, Mt. Snow Vermont was a NORBA National stage race. All the cross country riders had to do the downhill and trials. I did the trials with Rishi Grewal and Thomas Frischnect. It was a joke. We were terrible. After a couple of the “courses”, Thomas and I just took the maximum dabs for the remainder and left. This guy could of done it blindfolded. Check this out.

Earth Day. Not in Kansas today. Burning field rant. Again.
This entry was posted in Comments about Cycling, Racing, Uncategorized on .This is going to be toned down from last year. It is Bullshit how many people burn their grass in the country. It must be nearly the only place in the civilized world that allows this. I read yesterday that the county is issuing burning permits to the end of May. That is way past the point where it is beneficial for the grass for cattle. So, it is for lazy ditch burners. Good way to get rid of the plastic pop bottle rubbish. Anyway, it has been pretty bad the last couple days. Along with all the trees, flower, and grass allergies, it is nearly impossible to breath. At least breathe properly. Some photos (via iPhone) of the evening ride tonight.
Burning the ditches.

Descending into the abyss.
My cute dog keeping me company between races in Oklahoma last weekend. He's a great sleeper.
