(Atom Lab, all the video guys, DH Productions, etc..) All the photographers label their stuff so it's gotta be marzocchi's advertising agency that ignored it.

I think that Marzocchi is too busy signing porn stars who got into the business because they were molested by their dad's friend "Earl" and went to LA to become an actress and are looking to supplement their double penetration income. Real classy Marzocchi. **

ARE YOU SERIOUS !!! she was molested :eek:

**Yeah i'm sorry Morley. I've just had to bug a couple guys about the little ring up front. They were trying to do street stuff and were pedaling their cranks and getting nowhere fast. It's kind of hard to hit a wallride in competition gear.

Your getting kind of tech. Has the trials community threatened to ban you for doing "totally useless" stuff like nosepick crank flips on the top of park bench backrests? That was you wasn't it? **

On an interesting note, I use my trials gear for street. The only time I run a harder gear is when I am in the skatepark.

As for a ban… Nahh… most riders are receptive to the new elements that riders are bringing into the scene. However, there is the rare odd rider who is not so open minded. Here is a nice editorial by the infamous robin coope

Cheers dude

I don't know that. But I heard that most of the pornstars have really messed up childhoods and many were victims of sexual abuse. Or maybe she just really enjoys her job.

The links not workong on my pos computer but I see from the link that you are referring to the diatribe from Match #2. That's true, all urban/street is no good. You gotta go Dirt jumping, racing, trail riding, or do some natural trials to even everything out.

Speaking of Match, I hear that Robin shot a segment on Vancouver trials riders for Match #3. Aaron Lutze is gonna show me the finished product in a couple of weeks, should be interesting. And Aaron shot for 5 days with Jeff Lenosky, I know how big of a fan of his you are. ;)

I read an article on the comp from last year and it was really cool. Sweet pics..the backflip-shot was amazing.
We really need something like this on our side of the big pond…

sounds good. the course… the jam format…perfect. this is shaping up to be the best street contest this country's seen, i can't wait.

I heard some of the riders talking about the need for a street cicuit to follow the NORBA races. There is already one after the MT. Snow NORBA (Rye) and I think that there is a potential for one in the Los Angeles area after Big Bear and for one in Denver after the usual Colorado NORBA. To have three in The States and then a couple in Canada would be perfect.

FYI one may be in the works for SkateBarn in Seattle. However if it was going to be after a National it would have to be after Schweitzer which isn't even that close (I mean proximity wise, not time). We will see.

Yes, multiple sites would be great. It would also be nice to work together with all the locations…I think that would make it more of a 'series' feel

just a thought
