Faties can fly too...

I meant "fatties"

A breezy old article from '07. I'm sure it's been linked here before, but maybe some of you all have never seen it.

It's not a gut ... it's a downhill speed enhancement device!

JR, One of my best friends will never be less than about 235 lbs. He has incredible acceleration and I can't touch him on a down hill run, it evens out because I can top out a little higher and climb better... he's really, really tough in a friendly crit style point and shoot course through the neighborhood.
