Badhat - mine is the only one not here yet. Lucky me, huh? Should be here early this week apparently.

yep. we both used to have the same coach. he was a 4 when i was, then a 3 when I was, then a 2 when i was a 3, then a 1 when i was a 3 ... i finished 2nd to him a few times, fast kid, good instincts especially for sprinting, and nice guy too.

several guys on the CU team are also of the same lineage re: dc area + same coach. it makes me laugh to think that I used to be faster than a couple of them, now they've blossomed and i've just gotten older.

Sorry, non racers not allowed in here, hypocrisy or not. I hope you see the irony in your post...

Yeah he's got a good kick. Really transformed himself into a pure sprinter, but he can sit in on breaks too. For some reason I'm way more marked than he is, so we've put him in two successful breaks already this season. Our goal is to go 1/2 in the conference omnium this year.

Yeah, Zack was in my old Boy Scout troop (he's about my brother's age, a few years younger than I am). He was always a sneaky and solid sprinter when I raced with/against him. I'm sure he's stronger now... Several good kids have come out of NCVC in the last couple of years- him and Steven Black that I know of offhand.

B/c of a motorcycle accident I cannot use my left hand and have very limited use of my left arm. Brakes can be rigged. If you're curious PM me as and I'll link you to info and pics. I won't post it here.

Sorry all this haughty holier-than-thou crap is driving me nuts, and it's been really bad in the last few weeks.

I'm all for keeping the idiotic threads out, and the repeat offenders, but attacking some guy's first post in the forum just because you don't recognize him is just childish.

See my sig. If you agree, put it in yours.

Nah, UMD is just mad at me for pointing out how much he *****es at people around here and for not letting him get away with his "life in a vacuum" wisdom. Now he will try again, but I won't take the bait.

P.S.- It wasn't my first post in this forum, or even in this thread. I am willing to bet I started racing before quite a few people in this thread were even riding bikes.

Botto, this is a message board, if you think being known by a lot of people on this board makes you a somebody and you think being clueless is pointing out our hypocrisy then you are possibly the most insecure person I have ever seen on a message board. I hope all of this is just an act and not what you are really like in person, because...well I would truly feel sorry for you.

There aren't enough photographs in this thread.

Here is another picture of me hanging on for dear life. Check out how nice my ass is.
