Thanks Hc, I find it more challenging than scary. we do it mostly @ night and run thru twice as fast as that video. I was just testing out my camera mount and pacing thru it. Cops do not hassle us to speak of, once in awhile a security guard my yell at us running a paved downhill in a parking deck but not much they can do. Kinda a shame about the Trek 700. I built that custom for my Nephew whom ended up defaulting payments, after the 4th time and no contact I posted it on Craigslist for $350 and sold it in 4hrs without the Sella Italia seat for $310. He still does not know, when ever he shows up I will give him back his $100 deposit. Mind you that bike was only a $300 list bike back in the mid 90's. excluding the 15+ hours work on it I still made about $80 on it. Just another example of picking the right bikes, making them 95%+ perfect they retain value, does not matter how old they are. Steel is still real, rigid is still better than cheap shocks and other than a chip or two this bike is better than when it was new. Though only a hobbie I still need cash flow, when a prospective bike pops up I grab it as fast as I can even if I cannot get to for awhile.I have 5 waiting for every one in the stand of my own and have other peoples to work on. Thats just the way it goes
There are two kinds of people in the world, "Those who help themselves to people, and those who help people!"
