I'm totally into thrashin at the track, I have never raced but do as many track rides and schools as my cash flow will allow. I am also for ridin whatcha got wherever you can, but let my tell all you squids that have what I call a Puss line around the edge of your tires, if you can't use the bike then don't buy one, I am so tired of all these punks with puss lines buying these open class bikes, stay in your league boys, if you can't abuse em, don't even use em!
