I enjoy long downhill rides with little control and little use of the brakes.  I have this unusual attraction to the ground, seems to be mostly my head that likes to make hard contact with it on a regular basis. I believe I might have come close to obtaining the world record for “superman” type flight while my bike was still attached to my feet.  I want to thank that large rock that stopped my forward motion on that flight, without you I probably would not have lost my peripheral vision for two weeks.  I would also like to thank Gary fisher for making a bike that is so easy to push up hills.  Without you Mr. Fisher I may be forced to actually ride up those gentle inclines. I was once involved in a very controversial win at the 2001 Push a Bike up a Hill contest. Seems they frowned upon me wearing my leather cycling chaps without any shorts underneath.  They finally decided to crown me the winner and I still enjoy riding in just my chaps to this day.
