I predict...

The only fucker who cares about the B race is maybe that Rainville kid, cuz he says he is out to prove the fuckin nay Sayers wrong , and who the fuck are they? does anyone really give fuck what this little shit does? I dont...wanker

I predict ...

Sven will ride away, composed, mouth closed dumping questionable watts to those in his fucking wake.

I predict..

I gotta throw..My 2 cents on the Masters 35+ I gotta say its a gonna be won by a down player, could be the Pete Thompson show...if I could pick a solid 35er it aint gonna be Lil Simon, watts are too close, lets just say upset city...

I predict...

I predict that its gonna be too much for me too stomach deciding which class the aging DC is gonna pin it on. if he acts his age he's gonna be trading blows with the fucker who claims he likes Slayer..but in the end DC will get what he deserves..W

I predict..

If the monster shows.... its lights out for that skinny broad.

I predict..

You motherfuckers can hate me ll you want.. but you gotta admit the fact remains that this shit aint easy and there's more than few of you glad its over, the big question still remains who's gonna have the legs to make the run to Wisco..if your plannin a rebuild after Sunday your a fuckin a dead man walkin...

I predict...

That lil British Bloke will run away from that chunky fella in the silly yellow shoes , but only after he disposes of that fake punk..

I predict...

Its gonna be all Wiz and Sven, like Clubber and Balboa..with no disrespect, to RoadKING, Vinny, the LIL Pony, and possibly the Black Ace..

the questionable numbers..don't lie.

the rest?

will be fighting for scraps ..

I predict...

Some fuckin wanker is gonna leave with a compound fracture, or multiple cuts and contusions due to that ill engineered walk up called the orange crush. leave it up to an American Union carpenter to build such lame ass piece of smelly foul ass shit, probably built by the same blokes that framed my fuckin suburban home, which now crumbling around my tired arse..

I predict..

Never fuckin write off a state champion, that wasnt just givin to Parmachicken, I gotta feelin he is gonna surprise some of you jack offs

TAO OF T

I didn't just start doing this today. Not like some people . You know my stomach turns with their funny stuff. You don't have to carry a gun 24/7." I know about peer pressure and all that, but I say, "Hey, they called me a sissy because I wouldn't join the gang. Who was calling me a sissy? Does it make me a sissy because somebody called me a sissy?"I'm going to fight if you touch me or hurt me . But if you call me a bad name, or whatnot, I'm too smart for that. "If I fought every time somebody called me a name, I would never get out of my own dam way. But I'm disciplined. I'm smarter than that, like My mother said, "Consider the source." When you see who called you the name, then you understand why they're doing it. Then you don't have to stoop that low.
HATE ON..

Everyones got a plan...

What do you punk asses know about champions? Aint none of you ever been a champion! If there are 2 things I know about its knowing what it takes to be a champion, and dirty bitches. And if you don't what out for the dirty bitches, they can take everything away from you. And when you try to bitches smack the dirty and nasty bitches up, they will still come out on top! And your ass will end up in the clink! So buy the looks of this punk ass weather up here, don't be hatin when some of the dirty and nasty bitches clean your shit out!

Elite bros Clean and dry - SvenDirty and nasty - Wiz, but the Pony could ride again if its all jacked up!

Elite Bitches Clean and dry - Kelly P. Dirty and nasty - Queen Anne could regain her throne if she is all healed up!

Masters 35+ dry lil Simon, Muddy..double J............. JMAK, or JGOOD.

Masters 45+ Clean and dry - SlayerDirty and nasty - Slayer - old dude is riding like the angel of death. But will DC come down and spoil the day.

B Clean and dry - RainvilleDirty and nasty - anyone body that wants it. Yapp for the taking. But who really wants it?

C bros -39 Clean and dry - John HoopingarnerDirty and nasty - any bady that wants it. But it still favors the single speeder.

C older... and dry - Matt FillDirty and Nasty -

Singlespeed.. hard to call. But I like the heart of Surly Bastard Dettman if the shit gets real thick!

-All the Bitches will be out for this one trying to steal some shit.

Aint nothing clean and dry about a dirty nasty bitch!

Tailwind State championship cross predictions coming all week long on TMS

Glenns Power Rankings

MRT: well Glenn it is you isnt it?

Glenn: yea its me you got a problem with it?

MRT: well no but with the no-show last week and all ya know havin the sniffles etc

Glenn: I didnt have the sniffles muther fucker, i had a sick Tabby , and Biscuits needed to see the vet and I didn't have time for silly adult games, besides Axl owed me.

MRT: yea right..what for?..did Axl owe you

Glenn:Ill tell you later right now i gotta call out this shit so i can get over Children's Palace for Black Friday's special

MRT: whatcha lookin for?

Glenn: Action figures muther fucker, and some stuff for my nieces..

MRT: ya know I got toys comin out before Christmas?

Glenn: yea hopefully it isnt made by Galoob cuz that shit is junk.

MRT: no comment.

Glenn: lets get it on I grab some names out the Halloween basket and came up with the also rans pack filler, WTF's...and guys that get on the box but arent a real challenge to the big numbers..

WTF ... Sven Baumman. @ questionable wattage. neutral on all 3 basics, and a perceived wattage of questionable. "Don't know much about this German bad ass, but riding around Vets park with his mouth closed beating everyone is a questionable sight and leaves me with a questionable...WTF"

WTF JB Hancock @ 250 watts, neutral on all skill levels, perceived wattage 250. "JB BABY needs to get serious and pay some one or figure that shit on how to train properly I mean for Jesus sake the real CZAR of cross for so many years, hypes and blogs and has the kit and the look but every year its the same ol sloppy watts. You have been doing it too long...figure it out JB or just pick a new discipline its ok we aint hatin"

WTF Matt Baroli @260 neutral on skills and pedal efficiency, and a -20 on his head, perceived @ 240w. "Maybe Matt is too nice for cross, he should learn what the word commitment is and apply it to all the time he spends forking over cash for this stupid sport, or he should just become the driver for the team van and call it good"

ON THE BOX Jay Moncel @ 305, neutral on pedal efficiency and skills, -10 on his head. perceived wattage of 295. "Jay is better than he thinks, and that's the problem he needs to leave his thinking head at home, stop following wheels.. and race without it. His results would improve and so would his confidence plain and simple"

ON THE BOX (last yr) Corey Stange @ 300, 310 " when he is not shot, plain simple the Mustange is tired and my assumption why 2011 was a complete trip in the pain cave. maybe next year? cuz this kid was on the verge, and had the skills to get there, less emphasis on becoming a pro roadie and more on a solid crosser would do him good.

ALSO RAN Rich Stark @ 260 neutral on all three basics. perceived wattage @ 260. Rich's biggest asset is his experience, once an Elite podium sniffer...but the lack proper training leaves him class jumping now and trying to find his sweet spot, now he is up in the 45 bracket and that could spell the end of any elite podium time, oh well theres always Single speed, or maters 35 or 45 or B or??..

TSOB Adam York @325 -5 on skills +5 pedal efficiency, and +15 on his race head, perceived wattage 340. I would like to see this guy come in with fresh legs and focus on cross, cuz this muther fucker is tough as nails, not scared of anyone and i love that shit..i got all these vision of him going down swinging, bleeding and just fuckin still killin dudes..but too many race weekends and body issues left him hopping home for good healing. Too bad maybe next year cuz this dude screams TMS cross. one Tough son of a bitch plain and simple

B thankfull

Today i awoke feeling like someone caged the sun, grey to the touch and not super motivated to get it on . I rose , kicked the dog and said lets go. After headin downstairs i checked all the meters in my room and it put T in the right frame. Im thankfull for being able to suck it in today.

Maybe Miscene cross is too serious?

via Surly Bastard

Plan B

So many thoughts and words could be spit out about all of last weekend, I had planned a big long report of two days of great crossin in Miscene...But I decided against the long version, and im going with plan B, which is very befitting to how the weekend came to its end.
Bloomer park, been on the schedule longer than any other venue, and its always one of T's favorite, the memories and history run deep.....I could give you the number times we pinned em on there, I could recall past winners, what state champion was crowned there, Miscenes first UCI race and how now super cross star...JPOW almost missed his start readin Auto Trader, or when "just a pup"..JB nearly cracked the 10 in the A race against some fast comp, how about SuperDave K gettin run over by the EvilDude and some Suburban Home rider, Ron Stack beating the Black Ace on a MTB to take 2nd in the elite race behind the then UN-beatable LIL PONY....Or how at the present time the RoadKing pays back the nearly UN-beatable German Giant, and some Tanguy climbs on the boxes. Paramachicken works on his final prep for a possible Re-Peat.. the LIL pony rolls home, DC blows Sky HIGH.....or how about How Jgood comes in like Balboa..but leaves like Creed..gettin toppled by that LIL British squirt again, good thing he didnt have that Slayer dude in his group cuz it would a been lights out for him too... The Crossguy rethinks his plan for the National Title quest, multiple fools ride mouths open searching for more oxygen as fans cheer around the course. Bob W nearly misses the triple of DFL's..the one they call Big Mac gets sauced. Kelli P beats the Canadian Quiring Chick, and Queen Anne may call it a season...NO im not gonna give all the small highs and lows, and no shows, and MIA's and banter about who is going where and tire pressure needs to be run......its what the EYE GATTO used to refer to as..in the books..

Rest up fools as The Final battle is creepin, its gonna be so Good it brings a big ol crocodile tear to T's eye he pinnin it on..

Glenns Power Rankings

MRT: Glenn your alittle late where you been?

Axl: IM NOT GLENN, YOU TOOLBOX.

MRT: Axel what you doing here? and where the hell is Glenn.

Axl: i dunno I hear he called in sick last week, i got a call Thursday night TMS said they needed a power ranking post. I owed a favor ya, know..pisses me off though cuz i know that evil muther aint sick, i saw him hauling two bags of tidy cat up his front walk to that creepy ol spook house he lives in, Friday afternoon and he sure as hell wasn't any paler than he normally is.

MRT: so what ya been up?

Axl: this aint about me, Im here through what numbers, strictly my mine... just like any other asshole i got em.

1. Mike Wiz, @ 340. neutral on skills and pedaling efficiency, -5 for for his head. perceived @ 335w. "Mike is one of the few some "jerk" refer d to as the old guard, when his head his screwed down tight he is nearly UN-beatable, multiple state wins, and USGP jersey are proof...other times its "tits up" but plain simple he is still the one.

2. Tom Burke @ 330 -5 for skills, neutral on pedal efficiency and +5 on his game day head. perceived @ 330w. "Tom is good ...real good, but he just cant stop racing, i betcha he races school kids up the school steps on his way to work, i like the spirit... but i think sometimes his legs don't like all that racin,..if he could improve on his starts and his tech skills and he could be the one"

3. Mark Parmachicken @ 330, neutral on all three factors. perceived 330W. "Mark is good all around, but looks to gained alittle weight this season and isnt rollin his 2010 commanding hand, But i wouldn't rule him out....state championship are not givin to fuckers, he earned it and isn't a softy"

4. Jeff the LIL PONY. @300, +15 on skills, +5 on his pedaling efficiency, and neutral to- on his head, perceived @ 320w. "the LIL PONY....the best bike handler TMS cross has ever scene, turns and dismounts like a national champ, when his head is one he is a factor, but 98% it looks like he would rather be somewhere else"

5 Vinny Roberge @300 +5 on skills -5 pedal efficiency, +5 on his head, perceived @ 305W. "Vinny can be on or off, but his head is his strength he is a fighter and isn't afraid to attack and take big chances, hasn't been fully committed in 11 but he still rides well"

to be continued....

Glenn Danzigs Power rankings

MRT: hey Glenn where ya been pal?

Glenn: Dont call me pal, my MOTHER gave me a name a dam good one, i hate fuckin nick names.

MRT: Ok..well did you have a good weekend?

Glenn: yea it was tough spent some time snoopin through other peoples things.

MRT: yea, well hows that?

Glenn: I hit up this fuckin estate sale, scored some vintage knives, toys, and a pristine couch that was dated to the late 60's, it closely resembles the one at the local funeral parlor i used to work at it not the most comfortable thing, but then again they don't want to spending all night there, as normal calling hrs are a 3hr stint. It aint no Value City cheapie..

MRT:toys what kind? ya know i got some coming out this holiday season.

Glenn: I know hopefully there not made by Remco, cuz that shit is junk. I bought some Ohio art toys the makers of Etcha Sketch, i like to draw when im on the road..

MRT: well anyway what have you drawn up for TMS on the Power rankings? cant be much left, were down to a few classes.

Glenn: i have been rackin my brain on the final.. and i have to say it hasn't been easy, the level of the 2011 field is closer than it has been in years, not to mention the consistency of those that show..Im gonna take alittle more time and drop em in a bit

MRT: I hear the dead line is this weekend

Glenn: I know when it is..

after the weekends gig.

This past weekend had some time spend with my old friend Gary its been awhile and we needed some catchin up time. He couldnt be here to speak but sends his best. We talked and he had questions, and I had some answers, and I also had none. I also threw out some to him ...we spoke laughed and talked of a mix of who, why what when and if..We came to a conclusion that not all questions have answers...pure and simple, Radio shack says different but when you go there to get those little wire thingies that tie your cables.. the you twenty some thin just stands and points you to the cell phones and remote control muscle cars..makes T question why the hell would they even brother? ...by now my drift is completely lost for most, so lets roll on to what the weekend for the Scene has been up to here on the Eastside??
Tailwind Stoneycross, most of the few that went could drive there with there eyes closed..same ol same ol Stoney.. no disrespect but how many has it been? ...cant blame Tailwind, cuz when you hold a Biggie 6 hrs away it may take a few from the line like 10 or so...so my only question before I go over highs and lows is.....

why, after Nov 4th do you all run and hide?

High: QueenAnne comes back laps the field
Low: Field is few
High: Sven lays down another impressive walk away... laps 1/2 the field
Low: the field is 5
High: JB: gets on the podium
Low: he doesnt give his cash to Sven
High: the winds
Low: the High winds
High: orange Gloves wins SS
Low: misses a double in master 35
High: long laps
Low : Sven still laps 1/2 the field
High: long run
Low: they change the course
High: the wildlife
Low: the poop
High: racing 2 classes
Low : getting shelled in both
High: two races left
Low: two races left.
High: Svens wattage
Low: are the guys he lapped
High: fat tires sand
Low skinny tires and sand
High: beer

Glenn s Power rankings p3

MRT: Glenn you look tired, too much Dragnet?

Glenn: No.. Flintstone Marathon on Cartoon Network had me up late

MRT: dam Glenn cartoons is for kids

Glenn: alot you know, the Flintstones was a prime gig time back in the day.

MRT: i didnt know that.

Glenn: yep they even had a contest to name Fred and Wilma's Baby..

MRT: Glenn you know a lil about alot.

Glenn: yep,

MRT: favorite Flintstone episode?

Glenn: that's easy the One you don't see very often the one where Fred and Barney go out for ice cream for there wives, but quickly get side tracked following this Hot leggy long hair babe who is really a spy and they end up in a open volcano getting held against there will by Dr Sinister...tooo fuckin cool..

MRT: anyways...just Lookin over this list here id think you had a problem with the men of Michigan masters 35+

Glenn: why do you say that?

MRT: well there's more than your favorite number, but you only put down 6
Glenn:racin is too close to narrow it down to the Satans favorite, so got a also ran list coming up in a few days at the closing of my opinions..

MRT: your drift is harder to catch than mine

Glenn: read on..

1.Lil Simon Bailey: @ 270 +10 for skills,+5 for pedaling efficiency, -5 for his cross head, perceived @ 280..."Simon has been doing the cross this as long as lot of the old guard and once was a top 5 guy waaaay back in the day..but is alittle too nice needs to attack more, but because of solid experience still i give him the #1 nod"

2. John Osgood. @275, +5 for skills -10 for pedaling efficiency and +10 for his game day cross head. percieved @ 280w. "John is good and getting better, by far the most improved rider, he is like the Rocky figure of tailwind cross.. all heart, but his size is a hindered, lose the brews, and do some some bigger races before the thoughts of handling Miscene elite cross should be thoughts in his head, when you got Master guys like the WIZ, PONY, Moncel and the Black Ace killing each other it aint gonna be piece cake look, the numbers don't lie..But that being said,...tough dude.

3.Dave "theCrossguy" Johnson, @275 neutral on skills and pedaling efficiency , and -5 on his game winning head. perceived @ 270w.. "Dave is getting better but needs some other racing during the season to work on his headand low watts, seems to flake at times, not a good combo when the stats are so close"

4.JMAK @ 265 neutral on skills, and pedaling efficiency, and +5 on his cross head, perceived 270w. "Jamak, has been racing for a while..has a good knowledge how to do it, but takin too many days off the bike mid season doesn't do a thing for a solid power out put, But his brains and the longevity are his strong points"

5. Jim Hildritch @ 265w +5 for skills,-5 for pedaling efficiency, -5 for his cross brains. perceived w@ 260 "Jim has jumped around a bit this year, stay in one group and go solid"

6. Rob Selle @ 275 neutral on skills -5 for pedaling efficiency, and -10 for his cross head perceived 260w...Rob is another guy who size is a limiter, but he has an advantage of racing other discipline to help his head, But tends more time than often than not, and ride above his numbers leaving him in suffocation mode.

Richard Rainville @270 w +5 for skills, +5 for pedaling efficiency, -5 for his race head. perceived w275 "This Rainville kid has been around it was just yesterday he was beating up on the Goocher kid, now he has went to the line with the Wiz n chicken, but that being said only time will tell if he is the chosen one"

4. Mike Belanger @270w +5 for skills -5 for pedaling efficiency, neutral on his cross head. perceived w@ 270 "Don't know much about this guy except he keeps comin back week in and week out, could be a spoiler"

MRT: I hear ya. so whats up the East-side CX power rankin?

Glenn: im on my way, since were talkin about battling father time and all, im gonna hit the masters 45+..your toughest competitor isnt the dude the next you.. its yourself and the ability to keep coming back year after. so as of this moment im gonna give Danzigs top 6
MRT: top 6 seems odd why not just say top 5 podium like?

Glenn: cuz i like the number 6

MRT: ok lets get it on....

masters 45+
1.Don Cameron @310w, +5 for skills, +5 for pedaling efficiency and +5 for is "master"45 head. puts him at a perceived 325w ...the clear winner, Don rides the 45+ like he should all the "other" classes he races.

3. Mark the MASTER Woloiec @ 300w +5 for skills,neutral on pedaling effeicny, -15 on his game day head. perceived 285w ....Mark needs to ride to like he owns this shit, not renting it.

4.Bob Wozniac @285w +5 for skills, -5 for pedaling efenciy, -5 for the race day brains. puts him at a perceived 280 w ...Bob is solid and gettin better

5.Andy Klumb$ @ 275w, neutral on all others perceived 275w... Andy$ just loves cross and the chi chi's that go with it, if he was a color it would be grey

6. Joe Brown. @268w +5for skills, neutral on all others, perceived 273w ...Joe B just keeps turning the pedals needs to stop screwin around but father time is pullin his ass hard..

Glenns Power Rankings

MRT: so Glenn refresh me how is this gonna work?

Glenn: after I collect my guesstimated DATA, I will take a Guesstimated baseline 30 minute threshold wattage number..because cross is such tech savvy sport where sheer watts are not always the winner..were gonna give a + or - of say 5.. for the following
1.pedaling efficiency
2.skills, dismounts and running
3. cornering technique
4. there mental being.
make sense T? or do i need to elaborate more in depth?

MRT: makes sense to us, so your saying a person could put out X number whats but cant corner worth a dam, and is a head case, which in this case may lower his Miscen CX power ranking.

Glenn: correct

MRT: I gotta feeling your gonna have some upset folks not catching your drift and be well down right grouchy.

Glenn: that's OK im used to people not getting, why the hell should they now, Im just doing the fuckin assignment TMS threw at me.

MRT: so, lets roll..

Glenn: In time dont be so dam impatient your like a small fuckin child.

Glenn: ok dudes like Moncel, grittin his teeth, Rob Selle Mouth agape lookin for air..That stange kid the look of being tired. The entire C field is like the Bataan death march..but hell i didnt come here to talk about that, but it sure would make a dam good topic...

MRT: I hear ya, so whats up with these power rankings your thinking of?

Glenn: well I dont know if any these guys use the wattage meter, but i can assume what some are really bumpin out, and hypin out.

MRT: fair enough.

Glenn: Im also gonna throw a + or - for bike handling skills, (dismounts,running cornering etc..so a guy could be lower on watts but be a better skilled rider so that would bump him up a few slots on my power rankings.

MRT; i get it. But its your assumption just guessing..

Glenn: Thats right..

MRT: well shoot... where do we start?

Glenn: not now the Flintstones are on, Im still compiling..ill let ya know

MRT sounds good Glenn Ill be waiting.

T.G.I. Friday on Monday

T.G.I. Fridays is a good solid restaurant, been around for awhile much like every other neighborhood bar and grill, I know its not all posh, white table clothes and reservation, or Dick O Dow like... but there's something about a plate of TGIF potato skins and the chicken sesame salad that does a tired soul good after a long weekend of Christmas, New year and your Birthday all wrapped up in one. One might find it odd you can find solace among so many, but you can indeed I spent some T-time mulling over TMS and misc stuff in a place filled with laughter and cheer. and while this 1st week of dark season gets rollin the buzz of ICEMAN, dirty dancing, puking, triple crowns, WCF, PR's, Orbitsunnin, skinny euro dudes., gimme's and freebies, swag bags and hag bags, Godfathers in Ugly shirts, shots, High hopes, and heartbreaks, creepy mustaches, Cx'ers at large. thoughts of next years ICEman, and getting stuck in lousy waves, comebacks, ugly cats, rants and raves, hangovers and hugs, big watts and big lies.hating, faking aching and all the other UN-mentionable s..
So for all those hiddin Beautiful minds abound...Don't let the post Iceman depression get the best of you, keep the the tears of the past to a few and revel in today. cuz as of right now that's all you have.

Hate on..
