MTB Cultural Icon Status

[Jd]

Angry Man has made the leap, quite literally. His image from photo taken in 1999 of him on the
annual pre-festival Epic Ride dropping a ledge that everyone (except one other) walked, has been
emblazoned onto a tshirt. There are other ways to become what one may see as a cultural icon, but
being immortalized onto a tshirt is always a solid one.

So do you pic of this tshirt so we mere mortals will know Angry Man's ticket into icon status when
we see it?

It just hit OTE last week. I tried to dig the pic up on their website, but it seems to have
disappeared. Within a week, it will be plastered all over FFTF attendees, but not as the official
FFTF shirt this year. The FFTF shirt has some chick caricature on it. Both wil be seen on the 'net
soon enough, as well as pics of the Barleywine Festival in Kevin's front yard.

JD gearing up for FFTF

Here's the pic it was taken from: http://www.edgecycles.com/images/epicjon1b%20copy.jpg

The image on the tshirt is an abstract of just Angry and the bike.
