Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be like:
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used the poison in his tea
and kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun til someone dies

are u having problems with gears?
i would just make it single speed to if u can.
like just change the limits on ur derailluer and take the shifter off…makes it easier if ur just doing downhill

the super monsters would probably do the job travel wise…just make sure you throw a fat 3 inch tire up front to make sure the impact is distributed properly.
