reading theJP interview

um...

The total commitment to the sport and immersion in the European scene is something Page insists is absolutely necessary to have success on the world level. "So far I haven't seen anyone (who can make it in Europe)," Page explained. "It's not just me, it's my whole family - we moved there. My family and I have made that commitment to move there." Of the other racers in the US, he said, "I haven't found [another] person who has totally committed themselves to doing a European 'cross campaign."

what about Peanut? She did the total immersion thing there last year. Apartment in Belgium... and all that? Doesn't that count?

(yeah sue me i just got around to reading it)

other good bits in there too...

notice the comment about the youtube video that the 3 bi boys posted?

Page's prime example of the many factors that come into play in 'cross was captured in a youtube video that made the rounds on the internet forums after the Hoogerheide World Cup in Holland. "There was this section that was straight down, left 180 degrees - and it was like bloopers and practical jokes with all the guys falling down." Laughing, Page said "That was a tire selection right there!"

who rode it clean?

Nasty. Among others but that big freak's orange kit was unmistakable as he made it through that mess.

And yeah i'm gonna keep bumping the Sucker Brook poster. Why? cause the artwork flippin ROCKS and well...

i'm very excited. esp seeing that Ctodd bailed on his romantic notion of racing at Mt Snow! I think JJ needs to have a few "Call ups" in the B-Masters race. Two Wild and Crazy guys deserve a pairing at the start, or not... would make for better video at any rate...
