UAB YOF#3 Results:
Sponsors: UAB, Solid, Profile, MacNeil, Animal, Madera, Etnies, Dragon, Kink, Redline, Ten Pack, Marseille Bicycles

We received enough parts to build a complete bike from the sponsors, and had nine mini-contests to decide the winners of particular parts. If you won, you had to trade in your old parts. As such, we ended up with a complete used bike for UAB. This assured that noone could win something and then sell it, as they needed the part for their bike. (Two guys won their classes, and then changed their minds. Weird.) We also had all the people with size 10 and 11 feet compete for Etnies. Dragon Sunglasses went out for random awesomeness.
This was the most fun I’ve had running a contest for years. Silly fun all day. No separate classes for various skill levels. And most everyone got something.

I'm done with the lightness

I got my bike down to 19lbs.
No front brakes, no gyro, no pegs, micro seat with short post. All the tricks plus lots of titanium.
It was fun to show up on the bike yesterday at the UAB 3rd anniversary contest I ran yesterday. But I'm done, and I'm putting back on a comfy seat with a long post. I can handle a 20 lb monster. The front brakes should stay off, though.
Report on contest to follow.
