WHat the heck is this???

But does it do anything for this summer 2005? Or is that a screw up? Is it supposed to say 2005?

^^yea I don't know what that is, I think its for the winter and next year.

I'll be there with some North Island riders. Look for the Lucky riding socks.

Well I heard their head trailbuilder just quit. As far as I know the rest of the crew have not much of an idea what to do. I guess we'll see what happens.

[Aeropusher]

thats gotta hurt right when they are gearing up for the opening day....

[Universe]

The trail crew up there aren't exactly known for their stellar work. It's a shame really, because Washington could have TOP notch stuff. Upper management seem to think they already do. I guess when there is no competition on the island this is what happens. Oh well, lets hope. I tried to get on the trail crew and I was shut down pretty quick.

amazing how that happens....complacency is never a good thing when it comes to developing new business....I was gonna ask if you tried to get on the trail crew...but seems you already answered my question....oh well..we'll all see whats really up next weekend

They even offered me to work for some passes and never called. Just bad management. I was just trying to fill a couple days with work which I already have so it doesn't matter, but the fact is they sort of blew it. Nothing new there.

[Aeropusher]

well...look at it this way...you got more time to actually ride the trails. If you're up there next weekend look for a guy on blue team shore sportin a red 661 helmet...being a builder you deserve a free beverage on me.

Maybe i'll wait and try out the trails b4 i commit to a seasons pass then.

Heh, thanks. I doubt you'll see me up there this year. The cost just doesn't justify the product in my opinion. Besides I have a lot of building to do this summer in other areas.

If you want to read something that made me howl read this.

World Cup? Not to squash someones goals, but when you hire a trail crew with 'looks' being one of the criteria, I doubt a World Cup is ever going to come your way.

ahh...just Like Vancouver and Indy....keep selling to the sanctioning body just on the beauty of the city and forget about the quality of the racing surface.....look where it got them.
