Without clicking I knew that had to be squirrel, that guy is hands down got the best technique/form. People have claimed longer skids, but it must've been conditions, I think with all else being equal he'd win head to head against anyone.

Sam (or other people "in the know"): what's the name of the lady who served me coffee at Jet Fuel recently? Tall with curly dark shoulder-length (I think) hair. I've seen her like 5 times in various places this week.
Jeremy: I'll probably be there in the neighborhood of 6:00 or 6:30. I was thinking of at least stopping at Cherry Bomb or Alternative Grounds for some coffee.

Cons: Stabilizer strap not super stable. No clip loop for rear light. Secondary rear strap snags on saddle sometimes.
I didn't even realize they had an option for a a padded back until I read this over. The review itself could do with improvements like picture captions. I agree with teh cons but then again I don't have the Messential (going to sell my bag soon and rebuy this with a padded back).
Edit: Didn't list pros, because the entire review was pros almost - go read it.
Re: Stuff Tonight
I can drop by after my stuff gets sorted out. What time around guys?

okay, maybe they're not all cheesy; i'm sort of going for a good playlist that a guy in a bad outfit can dance to. 80's cheese is just part of it.
