slicks arent as slippery as you would think, even on trails.

Ya, if they're hardpack you can get away with slicks. I run two GLH 2.0's on our trails.

Also, in the process of building this junker up for a friend, still needs headset, pedals and brakes:

thus, do **** off. You still aren't an OG in my book, you're still to much of a smartass, and not a good one either.

I work in a steel shop making almost $20 an hour, plus I get large discounts in this town because I'm a known member of the biking community.

Like i said...it works and you can do it, but not all the time.

Lately we've been watering our trails before we ride them so they aren't crusty and falling apart and anyone with slicks would be fun to watch trying to pedal around the corner into the mainline.

That's pretty sick. I haven't been there in over a year, but my family and I used to go there every so often for the go-karts, but that's pretty awesome you are so close to there. There is a nice Checkers there too.
