1 - I'm *pretty sure* I saw JJ riding at the 05 SES, based on his avatar, the pictures he posted here, his technique, and his equipment. Whoever it was, he was ripping. I was impressed. Very clean, very graceful, very playful. I was like, man, look at that guy make that old school technique work! However the problem is that on those conditions my grandmother could rock on a Hot Logical.
2 - I know how Bordy comes off in these threads, and I know what people might be thinking of him right now. I also have had the privilege of riding with him and getting to know him. Let me put all concerns to rest - he is the real deal, he walks the walk, and he is a hell of a good guy. He is a true master. When he talks technique or technology, I have the good sense to shut up and listen. It would behoove anybody else here to do the same.
