Wow I dunno who watches SX, but wow what a lucky bastard Tedesco is.

Time to retire hot sauce.

Haha true. I would have said the same about Reed, but look at his run this year until that crash.

BOOM. ;D

I like benedict cumberbatch

Sherlock is good. BBC show. 9 episodes, and they are all 90 minutes, no commercials. It’s like 9 movies.

He was one of the presenters last night, right? Haven’t seen Sherlock.

Speaking of good shows, new seasons of Game of Thrones and Mad Men are right around the corner. Then there’s the new 24 starting in May.

I’ve found that the older dudes can run the speed, but they don’t have the reaction time and crash when actually challenging on a day to day basis. One track here it there might suit them well, so they get a win, but over a long season it’s just too much.

Look at windham. He had the speed to beat those guys every night if he wanted to push and go fast. But with four kids and retirement looming, that steady paycheck was more attractive.

Anyone ever make a big travel mug of coffee, get to the office, and realize you left it sitting in the car?

::slight_smile:

don’t drink coffee. So no.

Anyone ever make a leftover kit to take to work for lunch, then get to work realising you left it at home in the fridge?

Me, once a week.

No to both :slight_smile:

Don’t drink coffee? I wouldn’t survive lol

Coffee and this

If only coffee had an effect on me… :frowning:

You’re missing out! It is like an energy shot for me. I just can’t have any after 2PM or I won’t sleep at night.

Oh, I drink coffee (I like coffee). It just does nothing for me… lol

I can take a double shot expresso before going to bed. In college, I would fall asleep right after drinking a high caffeine guarana drink.

Same here. Caffeine does very little for me unless I really load up on it. I basically have it to avoid headaches.

Ha, you know I saw windham the last time he came to town here, he podiumed even, maybe his last podium. He did a couple things that freaked me right out…the “transfer” jump where he jumps across a couple tracks…and a long stoppie that spanned some rough terrain. Rare to see someone who can do any tricks on SX…guess they’re too busy going fast

Crazy all these guys are younger than me and are too old to race. fuck I’m getting old. Even bubba talks about retiring, he fits the rider description you mention…crashes too much last couple years when pushing/pushed hard…

oh here found that jump, watch from 0:48

Just ordered some lightweight wheels… going from ~32lbs per wheel to 22lbs should help my 1/4 a bit, yeah? ;D

Nice! What did you order?

VMR V810s 19x8.5, ET35 in custom Sparkle Silver (see below, different wheel)

listed as 22.4lbs for 19x8.5 so I’m really looking forward to their effect on the 1/4.
