Someone posted on the xtracycle message board a few weeks ago that Val, maker of the Rolling Jackass kickstand, had passed away. This is very sad, but does anyone know more about this?
I bought a rolling jackass this Spring after over a year of angsting over a $350 kickstand, it was money well spent, now they are no longer available.
