Do we really need entire forums dedicated to mountain bikes? Fuckin hell you're a retard. Are you paying for what little extra bandwith it may use? No? Cool, shut the f**k up. You don't care about trials, so what, I don't care about music - you don't see me complaining about a Music forum here (which isn't even related to bikes). _________________ Go to buggery.

It's not on the show Drop-in is it? No good riders ever were into Trials like Wade Simmons, Jeff Lenosky or Aaron Chase, right. Yeah, it's dead.

Mostly bmx and singletrack playtime right now for Jay- I ride with him on occasion....Jeff is doing mostly street, but his shows are mostly trials- we cought up with him at Saucon Valley Bikes in spring.
