    Someone needs to install a webcam that points at the track so we can just reload that all day.

    I already have too many distractions on the web. Are you trying to get me fired now? ;)

    Last year, the first class had something like 50 riders so they made the decision to cap it at 30. The early sessions seem to be the most popular.

    Yeah. We told the track if it didnt get dry we would help it with some gasoline and a lighter. And it seemed to listen.

    Was a cold one up there for sure. Hope your lungs get better man.

    you striped your axle? Thats not such a big deal, just get a new one, i should take only a few minutes to swap. And thank your lucky stars you didn't strip the lockring or cog threads.
