That was a nice stroll down Memory Lane, NSMB! Nice touch on the sepia-tinted
pics. That uphill skinny pic - was that on the NSMB Board header, or maybe a
Rocky catalog for a long time? I recall it fondly. Old Roach jackets and RF
cranks, RM6s and -7s… good memories.
I remember when the first Slayer came out and there were pics of Wade doing
drops on it. That bike sold like mad at the shop where I worked - I got one to
replace a broken Pipeline - and man did people ever try to ride it like Wade
did. It was a 5″ travel bike with a bit of a stubby wheelbase and bitty little
bolts in the shock mounts. Those bikes took quite a beating from our
customers.
