You will stop crashing in only 2 scenarios 1. You are no longer pushing yourself to get better and have become comfortable staying there. 2. You stop riding. (for most of us scenario 2 is directly preceded by death.) Now if only the misses will allow me to have my manly bits out of her purse for the next practice session.

boy your tax system sounds confusing. oh wait so is ours. Income tax- state and federal- (penalize me for being a productive member of society and support the lazy *******s) 2 or 3 different taxes on gasoline sales tax (varies by state, where I at is 6%) windfall profit tax (for businesses) luxury tax. "sin" taxes - (special taxes on tobacco and alcohol) Death and taxes the only guarantees in life. well enough ranting..........I still ain't gonna move to a new state or country so I guess it don't bother me that much.

Hmmmm I gonna go with typo. shoulda been "descent" And I still can't find anybody that wants to see me in a kilt.

Well, I resemble the Northern part of the comment. I am actually of French Canadian decent. Besides nobody wants to see me in a Kilt.

OH CRAP! I agree with Copemech! Hiya Cope.

Hmm I might want to rethink that "challenge" of ours. Naww!! Can't wait for ya to get it running, cuz I know you will let me take her for a spin.

sooo...... Any new Xispa photos or videos to go along with the topic title?

Hey Biff, You stay away from my 86 Reflex!!!!! Hope you get it sorted.

Well, that opens the door once again to all the comments about Sherco being a GasGas copy when it first came out. I think that Xispa is having a hard time on this site because there are so many riders that are "die hards" for their brand and don't like anything new. The other problem is in the advertising and accessibility of a new Xispa. There was an announcement that this new brand is coming out in 2008....oh wait must be 2009 now.......Do we have any bikes to show.......Yep got 1. Should we enter this machine in a high profile event with a high profile rider. Yes they should but did they? Also in this tough economic time they are probably having trouble getting investors, loans, etc..... And lastly the prevailing attitude with riders is "Let somebody else buy the first piece of crap and when it gets sorted out maybe I will consider it if it is $4,000 cheaper." Just some thoughts that bounce around in my head.

A single Potassium supplement everyday seems to help me with "arm pump" and fingers and wrist cramping up. Ya see alot of trials riders eating bananas, they got potassium. A couple years ago I came off a 4ft drop with WAY too much gas and landed on rear wheel dern near vertical and then the front tire whipped itself to the ground, kinda "cracked the whip" with my arms. Elbows hurt for 8 months to a year. Tried the little velcro band things on the forearm they kinda helped but not much. I ended up just dealing with it and trying to take it easy on the elbows. Eventually they just got better. I guess that is similar to tennis elbow?

Maybe Pat will be the next one to beat Fuji? skip the Junior class and go for the big dogs? Hey just a thought

"You sure do got a perty mouf"

definitely got BALLS to try that!!!

Thank ya'll for the replies. Looks like I got some research to do

Hey Cope, What got me thinking was I was admiring the quality of cman's vids he posts here occasionally, I asked what he was using ( Sony HDR-HC7 mini DV) but my quick Google search came back with lowest price about $830 USD. That radio shack thing may be worth looking into. What is the model so I can do some research? Yep SD cards are rather cheap now roughly $15 to $30 depending on all the usual factors. Location, brand, yada yada Thanks for the reply, Hey I could trade you some snow for the camera. I got about 2 foot deep on my roof alone. Got lots more in the yard!!!

I am looking for suggestions from those that know. What brand and model of digital video camera produces quality video and audio for trials but with a cheap price. Cuz well, I am a penny pinching miser. Thanks

Tell him to quit reading "those" kind of magazines .......................Oh wait that would be the wrist.

You are already there, it so much easier to do rings now than to tear it apart later and spend money on the gaskets all over again.

Thanks Cman, and as always they are good vids.

That's $30 dollars more than I have spent on a camera.

Hey Cman, What camera are you using. Team WGASA needs some new filming equipment.

sometimes I do get a good one in.

That should be a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The top of that pyramid looks perfect size for a skid plate. And what the wifey don't know won't hurt me. I am betting on bike.

HMMM slapshot is big hockey fan...... I hear that the "Sloppy" comment is all the rage with Hockey players about their girl friends........well EXes anyway.

Ok just to stir the pot. Do we have an importer in the US? Cope, If you want to change the look of your bike 3m spray adhesive and fabric is a cheap way to do it.
