Damn I just got your message. Hmm. My plan was to use them for the Collegiate races. Maybe I'll send you some money for shipping?

I'm gonna be in Carmel tomorrow.

I leave for SoCal on Saturday. I'm not sure when we can shoot.

When can I get those shoes?

sick! btw do you have those shoes?

Let's shoot Wednesday after work?

ill be at UCSC tomarow with some friends if u wanna meet us

Maybe, the way it looks I have a family going away party that evening. I'll keep you posted when I'm available.

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I'm free. Give me a call when you're done with work. Max and I built a pretty rad roll down at Wht Mtn.

A sunset shoot would be fine. Just let me know.

Hmmm, next week is my last week in Monterey. We'll try to set something up.

Hmm, maybe Thursday?

Sorry, I'm busy tomorrow. Weekend unless you're going to the race?

When do you want to do a photoshoot?

lets do a UCSC trip

get yourself some 0.9mm cromo and go from there, but seriously make some mild steel frames first cause you'll f*ck up plenty no matter how good your 3d models are!
i make 1 or 2 mild steel pre-frames of every new frame i make, irons out the kinks and the 'oh shit that hits the chain in top gear' situations.
that way you'll get all the nessesary skills, you dont have to worry about asking 3million questions on the framebuilding forum too, cause you can work it out as you go and mess it up and it isnt expensive.

It's true that VP bikes are the best solution, they always have been since very the first Horst link equipped AMP. They are so tuneable, and with modern intelligent damping they can be nothing short of phenominal when done right. I reckon K-Nine Industries have the best of the bunch right now. I'm not a fan of single pivot designs for DH, I simply can't accept their semi active nature.

Hey, you're obviously an intelligent boy, but you seem a little inexperienced. But don't take that the wrong way, I'm not having a go at you. I'm 'getting my stuff' from 5 years of racing on a URT design that won multiple national titles and qualified in the top 10 at world cups, after racing on a myriad of more conventional designs from the likes of Turner and Intense for the 10 years prior to that. But if you are more inclined to just accept theory and hearsay rather than actual physical evidence, then why should I bother wasting my time with this debate that I'm now bored of? I agree that in theory URTs don't make sense (I was just as sceptical as you before I rode one) but the reality is quite different. The characteristics are in no way as pronounced as theory would suggest. I just have one question- Have you ever raced on one?

Thanks for clearing up all that physics stuff, you da man.

Where did you want to shoot? Wht Mtn?

Tell me when you're free and we can setup a photoshoot.

Want to shoot some DH sometime?

Killer man. Well hit me up when you guys are going to UCSC or Post. Tomorrow a few of us will be working on WC if you would like to join.

How was Northstar?

Hey does the RC4 have independent hi and low speed comp adjusters, or are they both controlled by a single knob?

WC tomorrow? You work?

i wanna go to ucsc really bad. we should seriously go. id be down to go monday or whenever.

I created an album just for you, go check it out on my profile.

Do you ever get up to Whistler? Lars Sternberg and Casey northern and myself went down to Bootleg canyon in 08 for the mobbn the mojave race.... It is a different type of riding condition than I'm normally used to.

The Evil is really Great. I haven't had a chance to ride it in succession with the commencal.... I'm Hoping to at Whistler at the end of the month.... I've only ridden the Evil for three days at Whistler and it had too soft of a spring on it..
How was gene hamiltons camp?

Sorry for being a dick .... I just have a slight problem with that kid cause i think he talks out his ass.... I'm sure he is a good kid.. Yes that is my Evil.

Haha, I need the shoes to ride clipless. Once I get them I'll shred. I need some Small Block Eights, know of any places to get them for cheap?

When can I get those shoes?
