Kenda Excavator 2.5s with HD trailbike tubes. Varies between 20 and 25, Pretty much set and forget until I remember at random times to check pressure. Haven't pinch-flatted in 4+ seasons.

Quote=GnarHuck: "This movie could play at a film festival and do well." Well, actually it did. It was a finalist in the 'Best Film on Mountain Sports' at the Banff Mountain Film Festival.

Did you like your Stroker Aces? I've really liked mine - - ran them for two seasons. I don't have personal experience with the Primes but Clayton at Hayes tells me that they are better than the Aces in every aspect and give up nothing to the Aces in not being 4-pots.

I liked it the one year I went ('08) . . . but then again it was hard not to like it considering how it turned out for me. Wouldn't mind going back sometime but this year I'd say if you have to chose, go to the ProGRT at Port Angeles, WA the week before.

. . . and II. Neighbor boys got their hands on a copy and them, my son and I watched in awe.

I corresponded with Micah Rice at USA Cycling again (not quite as snippy as last time) and got replies back both from him and Kelli Lusk. Here's what Kelli had to say: "Hi Doug – Thanks for sending your note back in response to Micah’s email. We are getting very close to making a final decision on venue and date...

WHY did it post when I clicked "Preview?" And why can't I edit my post? Anyway, onward. Lo and behold, today I got this reply from Micah Rice at USA Cycling. I notice that it was also CC'd to Kelli Lusk. They are listening, folks, and it appears they are trying to help: "Hello Doug and thanks for your email...

Well, I got my e-mail from USAC recently reminding me to renew my license for the coming year. I decided to reply to that e-mail and vent my frustrations some, figuring that nobody there probably cared what I thought or would actually take the time to craft a reply. Here's what I said: "I am both a race co-promoter and...

^^ Oh, I know . . . I just lament that having it grouped that way legitimizes USA Cycling's perversion of the event.

Not to mention too that Super-D got split off with Cross Country, so those of us who might want to double up there are screwed too. Why the h*** is Super-D (which is short for Super Downhill) NOT with gravity?

I think they secretly wanted to split it up so that the XCers wouldn't have to race on real mountains with >gasp

^^ It was actually Altar Boy but Otis the Intern couldn't spell his way out of a paper bag, so the sign on the course said 'Alter Boy' - - which really became an appropriate, if unintentional, play on words. It altered a lot of people over the three years.

Keep in mind, Kyle, that the current management of Schweitzer knows nothing about "the NORBA days" or running a National. The venue is stellar but they will need some organizational horsepower to pull it off. The NORBA Nats were brought there for three years by local USAC promoter Round and Round Productions. They supplied the logistics/course layout/volunteers/knowledge of the mountain...
