just ranting, like i said in my first blog. Read that again if needed.

DK and I went for one of the most fun and energetic skates at Xgames that I/we've had in awhile on Tuesday night. NO body was there. I actually ventured into the street area and pulled a few boardslides on the flat rail. It was a "backside-air, frontside-Smith" day...that means i couldn't pull frontside airs and backside Smiths if someone put a gun to my head. It must be a left/right brain thing...sometimes it's the exact opposite. DK was tearing it up on the mid and mini and pulling everything he tried in the bowl.

randoms:

Riding a bike near Colorado Mills mall is scary at night.

my new-to-me car has Arizona tinted windows (you can't tint the front windows in Colorado, but you can in Arizona--where the car was first bought).

Putting a roof rack on a coupe without rain gutters sucks...thanks Bobby (Rocky Mounts rule!) for the help!

I'm becoming more bike-biased than before amazingly...thanks Rivendell!
I'm not going to take the chromoly brazing frame building class instead of the Titanium class because LUGS ARE COOL! and so is fillet brazing.

If i were a bike, i'd be a lugged steel frame and be able to go anywhere. I'd be ok with being a tiny bit heavier, because i'd last forever, and look timeless doing it while others fell away to the dump.

I was sad to hear that an old Bianchi Grizzley bike I had given to a friend had been stolen
he had been warned that you can not leave a bike locked up outside in Washington DC overnight
in this case I do not blame the thief

the tough thing is this

first....
the frame was steel
and the tubes were lugged
it looked more like an old Breezer than a Bianchi

here is the problem
I am riding around on my bike Like Pee Wee did in his first film
each and every bike rolls closer and closer
first I recognize the fork
then I go to the frame
and just when I am about to grab the bike I see it is not the Bianchi at all

long story short
I need to be sure it is the right bike
as I made this mistake before
