But fun to do and a skill that should not be lost.

Oh for sure!

So have I.
And I remember when Ed Banks beat Cully down Climie when Ed was on a 21inch DB Axis, with really cheap nasty cromo chromed forks AND a junior. I'm old

That's the one - very cool day. Cully got super stylee air down the chute but someone owned him for distance, IIRC.

I used to have a pic of him midflight at the top corner into the chute past the sign. Was prolly Fluffy, He pwned everyone for air at that corner

That sounds right. '93 wasn't it?

That would be about right. Talking about Old skoolers, Myles rockwell was racing last weekend in pro at a Race in Angelfire int eh states. Sure he ate shit and trashed his leg up. but they were saying he was going quick.
And just wait til hendi gets his eye back in

Yeah, can't wait!

Palmer was supposed to race on a santapooze this season, but it seems to have been hot air. I saw those photos of Myles Rockwell, still on a Giant too...

Getting some new forks for the Litespeed makes me go w00t.

Since building the bike 2 months ago the only change in the pipeline (Seriously!) was to go for the through axle Fox when it was available. After being officially released at Sea Otter I've played the waiting game, and had them turn up at work today. 15 minutes later they were on and ready to roll. Haven't been for a ride yet, but will do so tomorrow before work
