Hey CommandoH!

Where are you at in CT? I would love to have you join us for
a group ride at some point like the MS Ride or maybe one of
our countless trials rides during the good weather of
Spring, Fall, and Summer.

My e-mail address is freethegerbils@juno.com if you want to
contact my group sometime.

I wanted to go to that real bad, but I'm poor, and didn't
have gas money to get me down. I'll work on my skills this
summer and see if I can catch the next one.

I have my eyes on that uni.com CrMO hub

wow you guys have no idea how much fun the event was. the
scoring was sketchy but it was more or less experimental. we
should organize like a trials urban ride next time it is
half way warm out.

Wow that was quick! Jeff and John must have worked all night
to get through all that footage.

Tim did a great job organizing the event. It was warm inside
despite being bitterly cold outside. Good, friendly riders
and some gutsy beginners. The Big 3 came all the way down
from Boston, despite the temptation of more snowboarding. It
was good to see Art and Dan from Hartford again.

Thanks Tim for doing such a good job and congratulations!

Great work guys! Wow, you really organised that quickly. I
loved watching the bits with the moving palets and the
sandwich boards.

That was a wicked fun event Tim. Thanks for putting it
together. I can't believe how quickly you got that video
out. It really gives a great impression of what went on.

The format needs some work, but it has possibility's. I
think it would be better, when judging events that involves
subjective factors such as style or creativity, not have the
riders judge each other. Self judging works fine for trials,
but things are usually much more clear cut in that case.

I was psyched to get the CroMo hub. It fits in perfectly
with my current project. I beleive unicycle.com donated some
of the awards? A big thanks to them if thats correct.

That was me in the halfpipe with the 29er. I had a lot of
fun with that. I think that if you rode in a skate park on a
regular basis a 29" or 26" with short cranks and a slick
tire would be awesome. I could definitely imagine getting
air off lip of a smaller pipe.

looks like an absolute blast! kewl video, i especially liked
the walk-thru intro, it set the scene very nicely the viewer
(well, this viewer) is lead to expect something seriously
'underground' (pun unavoidable) and the video does not
dissapoint nice piece of work
