I'm doing just fine. Recovered quickly from my brief foray into TN. Thanks for asking!

Drop the BANHAMMER on him!!!

It's what keeps me goin' :o

Uh oh. I hope this was not as bad as posting the Polish National Team or that Lampre guy.

Curiously, I sometimes reference this video with other cyclists and some of them have no idea about it. :foo:

Indeed. I'm always happy until some freak of nature rips my legs off.

The video used to be blocked, which was a little heavy-handed, I thought. I wonder if the BF powers-that-be had a change of heart or if the video is just at a new URL.

Yup. Where I aspire to be, at least in terms of fitness, is towards the top of the non-genetically-gifted range.

Fun Fact: PA's largest city is named after a town in TN. This is where Ben Franklin got the idea for a library, probably.

Well I did get a wrist slap recently, so I am trying to be more sensitive to the forum guidelines.

It's one of their 1980s designs.

Maybe I should start hording old K-Cars, in preparation for the coming 80s-vintage EV restomod craze.

In yacht racing, anyone with the right boat and the entry fee gets to compete against the best in the world, and they’re not freaks of nature, they’re just way smarter than you. It’s beyond humbling. They sometimes yell at you too.:cry:

Smarter and with more money to spend.

They sure do yell, and it's usually obscenities like "room", "starboard" and "up."

I know that place, and it is good. One of the iconic places in Austin.

Smarter about what?

*I* passed it by without looking at it, which is common because the ratio of interesting to non-interesting, especially regarding the recent seasonal upswing of indoor training paraphernalia, is enough to induce rapid onset coma. Bottom line: I still don’t aim to watch it.

So it’s like an open track meet, pros are liable to show up, participate at your own folly. :lol:

Pretty much everything that counts when you are racing.

Such as? Most forms of racing do not require much in the way of smarts. Physical ability and ability to anticipate are mostly it.

fify

And I guess with all the banned books in TN they don't need big libraries.

But you're missing so much. :innocent:

It was mildly entertaining 10 years ago - I don't know why it ever gained the traction that it did.

The one thing that video demonstrates is that skinny guys should not bare too much chest. :(

Because it's all about PERFORMANCE? :innocent:

Start at the J/105 Worlds (or something) with 3 fleets and 90 boats on the line. We suck ass, but the owner/driver is a really great starter. We bust a very quick tack onto the lee bow of a top boat from SF with inches to spare, right at the committee boat, with seconds to go. He was sure he had shut that door. Someone on the other boat yells, “Don’t ever do that again!” It became a standing joke for us and still gives me a chuckle.

Of course they beat us by like 20 boats, anyway.

Ouch.
