you will never get to ride cause he will talk your ear off … all you need to ride is your bike , gallon of water and a walkman ..nothing more no audience no support , no girls , no drugs , if I could only show you the world though a true flatlander so hard to truly explain that feeling . stay away from the soap opera drama of the net and just ride . we really need the riders back in this sport not the blabber mouth, no it alls , haters , that talk more then pedal OHH WELL
