I might come, but part of me would rather come on a normal sunday morning, so I can ride more.
I will see how things go. Im sure it will be great, and if I do come, I'll be happy I did.

Great pics Stumpy - I could never get much air in the Clover bowl, but it was great to watch people work that bowl, it was a whole technique of pumping and pedaling. Great stuff.

Bought me some Haro vector bars and assorted bits with that :daumenhoch:
