Thanks guyz. Yeah im not pro or anything lol, they did this because there was a demand for Average Joe article, opposed to Pro after Pro article.
plus that course was way too demanding. I can do some pretty gnarly stuff...but that course it one gnarly thing after another! every straight where you would get to rest is interrupted by a 3 foot log!
And the pros have rekluse clutches, which means they are impossible to stall...while i have to pull the clutch in all the time over each obstacle...you can only pull the clutch in so many times before your arm starts to cramp...if only the clutch were on the right side
gross...
oh yeah, and the pros are crazy and jump many obstacles so they dont have to ride over them like real men would. This will never change because catching air brings in the crowds.
Here are some pics i got at the race...I wrote that article myself (its all in quotes) he held up his recording device and i gave him like 4 sentences lol...then i emailed him some filler
Uh yeah, average riders just ride over the top of the logs lol.

kyle, why dont you get a clutch like the pros do then?
just curious, i dont know **** about your sport. Is there a reason why you prefer a standard clutch?

Ive got a rekluse clutch on my bike that I got used from a guy who set the bike up for his daughter. I love that thing in the trails, getting too spoiled though.
Yeah I ride a girls old bike and Im ok with that. XD I wish we had stuff like that in Hawaii. =/

Yeah at the Motel 6 i was like
"can i request a ground floor? Im staying with an elderly person"
"Oh of course Mr. Ignaitis" lol
Man wheeling in a 220lb bike was challenging...how do you wheel in a 350+lb bike!?! dang!
