Master Lee
Feb 28, 2013 Todd Brown
“You can do it.” Master Lee teaches Tae Kwon Do. He teaches children, and some adults, that they can in deed break a board with their bare hands, feet and heads. “You can do it” comes from his gut, deep inside the man. It is bellowed with power and confidence. “You can do it” moves..
Is STRAVA perfection?
Feb 27, 2013 Todd Brown
Two riders ride headed out for a ride. At a designated spot, one stopped and the other rode ahead. Why? The rider behind waited for the one ahead to clear the trail, then the rider behind gave it his all to KOM the segment. They checked times, swapped duties, and repeated until they had either..
Vision & Speed
Feb 26, 2013 Todd Brown
I’m getting slower. My 20-10 vision is gone. No longer do I see the rocks and lay of the land far in advance. So I focus even more on what’s directly in front of me. Rocks become boulders, grooves-canyons, bumps-ski jumps Slow, slow, slow. Good vision equals riding much faster AND much safer. On the..
Just what is your intention?
Feb 21, 2013 Todd Brown
Downhill mountain biking, crit racing and surfing are spiritually connected. Act like you can make it and you will. Single-track on the side of the cliff. Shooting the gap in a sprint finish. Making a huge drop. Hesitate… And you die.
Broken bones, what are friends for?
Feb 18, 2013 Todd Brown
My daughter’s friends tracked us down at 9pm Saturday night. We were just starting dinner, she had just finished a poorly executed trampoline-powered back flip. “We don’t want to alert you, but Shelby might have a broken arm.” It’s a brave call to make, especially when I know if it wasn’t broken she would be..
Begging to differ, Amazon great rep?
Feb 12, 2013 Todd Brown
Amazon has the top corporate reputation. Yep … Among consumers. I know a few businesses who feel and think otherwise. These folks cover the bar codes on products in their stores because their customers try product, then buy at amazon. What is the D-factor for all parties in this equation? Amazon for winning on price..
10 speed thinking
Feb 11, 2013 Todd Brown
My first real bike was a Schwinn Sting Ray. On a Saturday ride to the jumps in La Habra, a rumor spread about the two-speed Kick Back. What?! Two speeds on a bike, and no shifters. Mythical. When I “got mine”, the thrill of kicking it back and nearly doubling my speed was like spiked..
It’s better to beat me than to beat you
Feb 10, 2013 Todd Brown
Lots of solo dirt miles have left me peaceful, skilled, and totally lacking snap. The road, specifically the group ride, has always been the method of choice for bringing back snap, power, and will. Getting left behind hurts, and the fear of it allows me to suffer like I never would by myself. On the..
Are you using your hub?
Feb 08, 2013 Todd Brown
With the growth of cycling among people that wear big boy pants to work, what are you doing to use your expanding hub? Golf gets a pass when the boys head out for 5 hours of 18. In between the swings, there is chatter and banter that often leads to ka-ching! Jim Bishop video tapes..
I Just Wanna Weeeeeen
Feb 07, 2013 Todd Brown
Humiliated, crushed and tossed aside Nacho Libre declares “I just wanna weeeeen!” Me too. Mounting a ridiculous moto on a quixotic quest for greatness in the wrestling ring and true love, Nacho leaves the sanctuary of the monastery. Self-imposed, self-driven, lonely and pitiful. The drive. Like Nacho, we cyclists eventually realize “sometimes..
How much for that bike in the window?
Feb 06, 2013 Todd Brown
So many bikes to choose from. So many prices for the same bike. Call me a sheep, but I take my car to the dealer for service. I know he charges more. But, I get more. When the car service is complete I know it’s up to spec, any potential warranty issues are taken care..
