If you could be anything or anyone, what or who would you be and why? a billionaire, no, make that a trillionaire that first would personally (no sucking middleman here) buy up properties in the cities and the mountains to donate to the parks for non development, after that, I would travel the world. I would not be the U.S. president, not a politician, not a lawyer
Someone you look up to Clinton, no I don't think so. I would have to say, hmm it's not easy these days, my nephew. He is only 2, but never has had a problem with anyone. All of those other pro's are fading away, you never hear much about Tomac, Overend anymore.
Quote Mountain Biking is what you make of it, fun, excercise, challenge, socializing, tinkering, casual hobby or just cobb webs and dust on your bike in the garage (or even worse, in storage). I hope we (Team Wrong Way) can keep the FUN in biking...
