  1. Rode there a few years ago, found it to be a funky and cool little area but the grooming was not that good. Spent most of my time there in softies, and it was suprisingly busy(right before presidents week)

  2. While out showing my santa cruz(bike) some love @ apex in golden, the poison ivy was a brillent red, as were the sumacs, the aspens are starting to turn as well as the scrub oak. I heard elk bugleing as I tore thru the enchanted forest, and lovey will be blowing snow by the end of the week. It won't long now :biggthump

  3. you realize that "Them" is Mark and his dog and that the "warehouses" are his garage and basement...that said he is very good at collecting and testing all manner of boards and wheels....in the beginning he carried a huge variety of equipment using the short(er) board stuff to help him sell the longer stuff....now that business has taken off he mostly stocks bigger boards and the hardware, wheels, trucks and such that go with them. BTW his "Franken Trucks" which improve Indy 169's and 215's with better baseplates, kingpins and bushings are amazing.

    I have had the pleasure of skating with mark on a few occassions. He is a really great guy, and not unlike a crack dealer. He will bring a bunch of completes and lay them out on the grass, and let you ride them for as long as you want, no charge. Nice marketing strategy, and just a little on the evil side. I've been trying to convince Mark and a few of the the other mile high rollers to join me on the dark side.

  4. Good on ya Kent! I haven't even looked at my road bike since my weather related meltdown last year, I was so wet and cold coming down squaw that I started shaking uncontrollably any time I got over 20mph.

    give me a yell @303-210-9742 and we'll try and make something happen.

  6. There is a small amount of movement built into your td2's, this is "suspension" or damping that the td1's did not have. It is more obvious in the softer e rings, and it can be disconcerting the first time you see it in a bench situation. Fret not, just make sure all of your hardware is tight and mounted per instructions and go ride.

  7. No turns on powder days.

    Bola

    Bola is serious about the no turns part, he just straightlines pow as long as nothing is in his way!

    Bola turns? :p

    sorry, you know I had to!

    On a much more serious note, get well soon Enzo.

  10. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I tried the $24 burger at the base of Highlands during the SES. It turned out to be the best burger I've ever had in my life. Holy $#!+. Totally worth it.

    But the parmesan oil fries sucked!, as did the wimpy beer selection(no porters or brown ales)
