Vlad---GREAT IDEA!! I know that I am not a D.C. guy (despite my one-time fling with the crew), but hey...the East is a small place. I can get to NYC $40 Round trip on a bus. Therefore, there would be few excuses for anyone in the Boston/ RI area to come down and join you all. I think your suggestion...

Just curious if current world affairs has played a role in shaping peoples' plans for competing this season. I am personally going to be on the East this year, so my tavels will be quite limited. But that is mainly because my budget is limited. However, for many of you who do travel cross-country to...

White-trash original Tracker bushings were good enough to score Jani a double victory at the last Swiss race. But his weight could have been a factor (it was, but you know…). Bushing performance might be (is) weight-dependant, and therefore, bushing durrometers shouldn’t (can’t) be made standard fo...

Not that anyone should listen to a nobody like me, but maybe this year's Gathering would be a place to try out new methods for bracketing riders.
