Rich..oh That Fonz..I remember this..this is the big list of pretty cool stuff ...thanks for sharing. But whats the significance? 

Fonz..because Cunningham..its bout time ad our opinion and make this list alittle bigger..ya know Cunningham, its a good time of the year to reflect and be thankful for all the Rad Shit we can do, see and feel, and fantasize bout.

Rich, yeah Fonz and some of that stuff on this list seems dated ya know..Cuz that Tommy Clark guy is more than just funny on facebook, and well does anyone even use 808s any more?  and They dont do any crits and Milford any longer, and Gee Fonz i bet the cougars that used hang out there are Grannies...

Fonz..Cunningham your missing the point. just because things change dont mean they still are not Bad ass ..

Rich Ah...so Fonz lets hear the updated version...

Fonz..AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY slow down Cunningham..theres alot of dead spots in December..

Ah yes, Andrei Schmil lives on with all of those romancing the old dinosaur ways of convincing themselves that riding in horseshit conditions makes them better. In 1996? Sure, we didn’t know any better. But when there are better options, don’t be dumb and let that asteroid hit you. Nobody enjoys riding in that shit. Even the tough sonsabitches at Barry Roubaix moved back to April.
