Ha ha! This reminds me of Gnat and I and the conversation we had earlier this week about Nate Woodman's and your mad riding skilz.

Keep on having fun, whatever you are rolling!

LOL... Thanks Good Buddy. I have to sheepishly admit though that, at this stage I can only hope to keep up with Nate. He's maturing into one of the best all-around riders I've known. He's both a gifted technical rider and a talented athlete. I liken his abilities to Ross Schnell in many respects (Ross was a kid coming up when I was racing out in Colorado, but he was already super fast).

Have a great weekend. I'm headed up to Ponca for the Psycowpath race.. provided we don't get rained out AGAIN! I'll be taking the Big Mama and (I think) the red El Mariachi with me, though I'm seriously thinking about taking the Fargo instead of the El M. I could rock the Fargo on the Ponca trails... and I'll be there all weekend.

YEAH!

Oh, I found some "lost" videos from on-the-road at TIv.5. Holy cow they're good... Just wait. I'll post the first one today -- a quick interview with Ben Shockey. There's some really good ones -- one I definitely can't post on this blog due to the foul, foul language (all done in the name of hilarity, of course).

Yes, it's true... We're having fun. I hope you are too, my friends!!

Cheers,
MG

Nate is my hero! HELL, all you Lincoln guys are my heros! I'm stoked about the scene you guys have built up there, hope it continues for years to come, I wish we had a bike shop around here that was 1/3 as cool as MWC.

Funny story, my wife took her fixie to Lincoln one weekend to get something done & didn't get it in to MWC before they closed so she took it to another shop & the mechanic looked at the details of the bike & asked her if Nate had built it, "yes he did" my wife said & the mechanic replied "yeah, you can usually pick his builds out pretty easy" I believe that speaks a lot about Nate & the effort he puts into cycling in general.

Keep it rollin' Folks from Licoln!

Video's comin... I'm having trouble with my YouTube account. Don't know what the deal is...

So wrong, yet so sick at the same time. :)

MG said...

Hahahaha... Thanks Steve. Just wait 'til you see what I can do on the Fargo now that I've got a Mary bar on it! (LOL!!!)

Look forward to riding with you soon, my friend.

Cheers,
MG
