Let me rephrase that.


The Terry TRX ("Tri like a Girl" model) on 195 lbs man's SS MTB...is about as cool as a guy wearing a pink shirt. You be the judge.

I do not think any girl benefit from wearing pink. It is "real man" color.
Look if she has something navy blue or greyish black.
My wife has all black MTB.

However - I'm thinking about paining this thing pink. Any suggestions on paint brand?

She has alot of really bright purple, orange, and blue. She likes pretty much all of the "girl" colors, but for some reason hates pink. I wish she just had a MTB. I'm doing good just getting her to occasionally riding her cheap walmart roadmaster. Probably gonna get her a hybrid when we graduate college, and eventually get her to start trying some wide smooth trails and maybe eventually some decent single tracks. (this is all thinking very distant in the future.....)

Dear Ed,

What's the deal with the unhealthy Danny Macaskall obsession? Don't people know there are lots of other super stylie riders out there?

You have a long way to go - she got her all black MTB when she was 40.

Yeah, we are both only 22. She acted like she didn't want to ride at all until I got her out one day and we did a 10 miler and she loved it. She had never riden farther than 1 mile before and she said that she didn't even realize that we had gone 10 miles. I am planning on trying to get her to do a 10ish mile ride once a week through all of winter to get her more confident on the bike before we even attempt any trails. But we will get there eventually.

I have been digging through old posts, looking for good DH runs to post. I'll get it done soon.

Regarding Danny that was partially for me and partially for the religious DannyMac followers. I came from a skater background, I love watching a good urban or street trials session. I like watching a full length MTB vid with all sorts of gnarly riding...but when someone like Lenosky, Voreis or Chase does their urban session...I feel like it breaks it all up a bit...adds a different element to the video. I don't believe Macaskill is the 2nd coming of Christ, but IMO he deserves all the publicity he's getting. Unfortunately dudes like Hart deserve way more than they get. It takes a tremendous amount of skill to do wet DH runs like he did. IMO it takes an equally amazing skilled timing to do a 15' to flat on a rigid bike w/o destroying something.


Different strokes, I guess.

Ya know, I'm trying to be a good sport about this, but it's getting exhausting.
