Didn't I quit in 1984?



2009 marks 25 years of quitting BMX!
The OS reunion at Woodward West was so fun. Spent about 45 minutes talking about my scholarly research with Bob Haro on the Saturday night. Stephan Prantl, Aaron Huff, Chris Gack, Voelker, Blyther, Nourie, Fiola, Lee Reynolds, Shad, Todd Anderson, and on and on.
I rode my new chrome Kink with my graphite Tuffs on it as my Profile hubs had not arrived. Now those wheels are built up, and it is ON.
Working on getting a set of 9t cassette graphite Tuffs.
Tried the KHE Anchor bars out - worst FAIL ever. Well, not ever. Recently. Worst fail goes to the Odyssey Twisted PCs when I tried them out in the late 1990s and they broke in half in 20 minutes. I assume that they work better a decade later.
Eclat levers are about to fail in less than two weeks.
Demolition U brakes seem OK.
D'Arse-y Sack-hoochie won't make me a pair of custom Blazer forks with 990 mounts. It's a good thing that I am fond of his wife and daughter...
Tweaked my back on Saturday riding Wallace Emerson with the kiddies. Fun until then, though.
