Rockwell would win that on a tobogan. The guy paid his dues to learn how to go fast. 2 broken legs. And world class DH results.

I'd say eric should ask if they'll give him more start money to slide down on a greased sheet of plywood. THAT would be entertainment.

Get a Klein Reve, longer wheelbase, stiff as, and it's got an elastomer in the seatstay so it's rear wheel is ON the ground. it'll save your old man back too...

erik saunders said...

I also seem to recall that Erik posted the second highest speed and placed 6th. I didn't see "anonymous" anywhere on the results page...

As an aside, I quite see how everyone drew the conclusion that "mountainbikers beat the crap out of roadracers" on that race. It seemed pretty much 50-50 to me, especially if you dig past the last run results.

Congrats Erik, I'm looking forward to stealing all your stuff after you hurtle yourself off the mountain and die.

Fine, I'll take the wife and kid then. You want the shack?

Parke said...

Nice.

No,I was having a good old time fucking with dumb people about Disk brakes over cantalevers. What the fuck do I know.
At the end of the day I'm a hairstylest..

Parke said...

Which one of you was the dude who going on about "pro's don't need brakes, just cat 4's. In fact in the 80's the USCF considered requiring them to use fixed gears with a front-brake."
That was comedic genius.

And, in truth, I think it was Nate who went ballistic.

Slover, you're really a hair stylist? Can you do anything to help Erik?? What's that? He should just stick with Turtle Wax?!?!

SLOVER said...

No,The dumbass gravity bike shit.They thought they were so cool with pretty painted kiddy carts and how they can race motocycles downhill. Give me a fucken wagon and disk brakes.That's fucken redbull shit right there...
