    nice seeing the few people I did (Lee, Danny, Carla, all the other folks that work at the path). didn't get much. got some SB8's for the DJ, my dad got tubes and some evo knee pads. tried to talk into a boxxer team, but he wasn't going for it :(

    were you the guy waving the XTR cranks at Tani and trying to get them for $200? I was too busy laughing at that to sign the credit receipt :lol:

    how was the course? I looked at it and it was kinda stupid, but I'm guessing there were things that were missing...

    that was prob it, I mad eit up and over the stairs and box, when the stairs got turned around I couldnt hop high enough to do it, maybe one day. I think I saw pics being taken.

    Saddest part of the day, when a guy showed up on a GU stock bike and I heard some lady say, finally someone good is riding

    Bought the STR SSanta goodies, and ate a free lunch.
    What could be better!

    At 11:30 am was already a good crowd.
    I told Tani I already had enough bikes, he said the formula to know how many you actually need is (X+1) with X being the #of bike you currently own.
    X+1 being what you need.
    Glad he wasn't my math teacher!

    Thanks y'all!

    Tani's right, he just had the formula a little wrong, but maybe it was lost in translation.

    N=X+1

    N= the number of bikes you need.
    X= the number of bikes you currently own.

    So, as we all know, you always need one more bike. :bang::beer:

    What about Y? Y = the number of bikes you want. I test rode so many bikes today. Kona dawg supreme stands out, as well as a Redline 29er. Oh and the new Marzocchi shocks just fell, well flat and undesirable.

    Good times for sure. Thanks to all who came.

    Some numbers:
    -68 burgers
    -96 hot dogs
    -10 pounds of carne asada
    -about 100 sodas and other soft drinks
    -about 8 gallons of suds (My memory is fuzzy, and I am all dried up)
    -tons of fun hanging with all you folks out there.

    Thanks for visiting.

    See you all on the trails, and in the shop.

    I did not get any pics for you Ricky, but I would like to give you kudos and a pat on the back for getting out there and having fun. Especially with a big crowd watching as you learn. Gulp.
