the "EATING WAS GOING TO BE IMPOSSIBLE" part really brings back some powerful memories for me. Food just isn't at the top of your list, when your on Chemo. I KNOW what the recovery phase feels like. Your young and fit Nick, 2 points in your favor, you'll be OK. One point to remember : nutrition, nutrition, nutrition.
The right tool for the right job. My DT-2 gets a good workout. It's clean, it's handy, althou it does take a soft touch and a sharp eye, if your not in a hurry, it's like truing a wheel.
You see, it goes like this. You need to make a blood oath to the Biking Gods, swearing never to reveal the location of this precious gem. Failing to keep your oath would be punishable by being suspended from a basket ball hoop by your underwear,(On a hot sunny day in the middle of summer).
Kidding. You can find it on the trail maps. It's a bit of a pain to get to.
OK, OK. Some of you don't like the price. (SUCK IT UP) Some of you don't like the weight. (Yes, they are 1290g, Dual-ply DH casing, confidence inspiring) Some of you don't like that there's an updated design! ( Evolve, you frakin caveman)
The changes that Maxxis has incorporated, make sense.
I've been riding High Rollers in Whistler for 1.5 season. They have an unsure point when transitioning from center to shoulder. Not unsettling if you aware of it, but it does cause me to adjust my line early, when cornering.
If you got some tech corners in your line. Knowing that your tires has a tendency to disappear when cornering at moderate angles. Makes line choice... all that more important.
Oh... do you think Maxxis won't come out with versions like UST, eXC, LUST? And that those versions will be about a pound lighter. Keep Watching.
correction : loose
This one is gonna be fast and lose...... as usual.
Red Samurai Vs. Blue Samurai. The Epic battle continues.
The Mustache will Win!!!
My only fear is, that Stevie Smith, being the kind of guy who will Pin It to Win It. Will explode mid run at Mach Ridonkulous. Our I could just be blowing smoke. About Us
