x3. Eventually saw it today and it was pretty ridiculous. The 360 Indian Air was awesome (and original,) while the Electric Death was a a repeat (and sketchy to boot.)
And what's with Step-up being the unloved stepchild of the X Games? Last year they did the silly sudden-death final (I think Matt had it anyway, but it would have been nice to see him top Renner,) and this year there are co-gold medalists (RC and Renner)? ESPN really doesn't seem to care much about this event anymore.

I'm trying to catch the moto big-air repeat right now. I hear it's quite a yard sale.
The skate rail thing was gnarly, but it definitely looked like the layout needed some dialing.

Thanks, Josh. Greg was very helpful to me throughout our whole process, and while we hit a few bumps on the way to my current set-up, Greg never balked at helping me figure things out. It's very helpful to have a knowledgeable tech present when you're sorting out your stuff. Spring rates and valving are important, but they can't overcome a lack of set-up.

Good practice today. Nice watering and a fun layout. And I liked the free bottles of water at sign up too--a nice touch.

Dave's is a cool place to visit, and an advertiser on this site too, which means you know they're hardcore.

Check out the homepage logo for our newest sponsor, Motohead, which is based in my fair hometown of Carson City: www.mx775.com/index.htmlMotohead is located at 301 Hot Springs Road #11, and I hear the owner Rick is a good guy who loves bikes...which, come to think of it, makes good sense since he took the effort to advertise with us, hardcore moto people that we are. Please stop by the store and all the others on our homepage to show your support for the shops that support mx775.com.

I actually just tweaked the summer series post to include the fall info. Let me know if this does the trick for you.

I will, but right now I'm running the Summer Series schedule up top (I try only to run the most current schedules to keep the top of the page uncluttered.)
But we could piggyback this schedule onto that post, or I will just sticky this one when the seasons change.

Problem is that the work fuction is in Fort Worth, TX. Maybe you became ill in the terminal at the airport? OK, that one might be a bit tricky. But I was hoping to see you at practice, especially since I've been missing all the good practices lately.

That's okay Gil. I won't be making it either. I have a work function... Darn it! Hmmm. Didn't you say you were coming down with something? Might have to take a sick day.
