  1. my favorite cross racer is Jon Hamblen... who do you guys like?...

    my least favorite cross racer is Jackson Stewart.. he is a jack-ass... they
    should call him *Jackass* Stewart...

    Tim Johnson is ok.. and if he raced again he would be my second favorite cross
    racer... a cross racer on whom i have no opinon is Mark McCormick... except for
    that he probably stole all the money from Jackass and thats why he sucks
    beacause he has to work a job or something to get to the races...

    So what are your thoughts on him as a Madison racer? (heh)

    I have only the faintest idea of what the 'cross field is like, but
    Sven Vanthourenhout seems to be one of the alpha wolves.

    Don't know any personally, but like Wells and Gullickson because I
    live near their original home towns. Wells gets the nod b/c he has a
    funny website. Dude can't spell, but hates dopers.

    Definitely hairy ass Hamblen. He is actually my favorite bike racer
    too, on many levels. though he probably thinks i dont like him or
    something.

    He can make pancakes at my house any time.

    second svatek. cross needs more gorrilla racers. i would love to see
    him in a world cup, just swatting people outa his way. it would be
    cool. Just like all the czeck guys do.

    for pure visual appeal, TJ. He is so _pretty_ on the cross bike, in a
    non [censored] way. very fluid, so smooth, tapping the pedals over. Wish
    he would get back on it.

    JP is cool to watch on sick technical stuff, catching air, but not
    smooth-pretty-natural with a bike under him like TJ. Sven is quite
    similar in body type and style. roadie like.

    JP should do free-cross. that would be cool. Him and Wells. Maybe
    that would be a good side show at nats!!!! Free-Cross or big air or
    some other purely for fun technical display as a fun thing for
    spectators...hmmm

    specially with the concrete thing. and the old bunny hop contest.
    always a crowd pleaser.

  11. jon enjoys cooking.. thats what makes his pancakes so good... and his pizzas...

    I would have to say that Barry Wicks is my favorite cross racer. That guy has been paying his dues for a while and finally broke through with a big win. After him, it would Erik Tonkin because he is a hairy beast, plus a nice guy. Guys from the NW definetly have a leg up on everybody else.

    You just gotta like Matt. I still can't believe that he gets uphill the way he
    does either.

    Except when he forgets to unclip and falls over. Not an unusual occurence from
    what I've heard and seen. But your right, at speed Tim is incredible. I think
    he'll be back with a vengeance next year, and maybe bring Lyne with him. That
    should reshuffle the standings in a hurry.

    JP is great, no doubt about it. For a second I thought you were talking Jeremy
    Powers who's been looking pretty good too.

    Yah, this Jermemy Powers Jonathan Page thing has already become a pain
    in my ass. Annoying. Powers was doing the barrier hop in Belgium.
    Course, he stacked it up good too, i hear.

    I was also, to clarify, comparing TJ to Sven V, not JP to Sven V.
    Sven is a fast road racing kinda cross racer, and built kinda like
    Tim. Both great to watch, and I for one am psyched that SV is
    starting to beat the usual suspects.

    On that note, Second today in Tabor. JP sucked again. Par for the
    (world cup) course.

    One of the most incredible performances I've seen was after a bunnyhop crash.
    It was a couple of years ago. Jesse Anthony, Chris Hill, and Konrad Lebas were
    really beating on everybody. Konrad and Chris were hopping the barriers, so
    Jesse decided to give it a shot and crashed really ugly between a couple of
    barriers. By the time he got going again he'd been caught by a few other riders
    and was like 40 seconds down on Chris and Konrad. He stopped hopping, chased
    both of them down and won the race. It was incredible how fast and smooth he
    was with a bright red face the whole way.

    As for whom I like? My favorite is:
    CHRIS DAGGS

    That man is a Force to be Reckoned With.

    K. Gringioni.

    Dear Sir,
    A couple months back the Force found his way to Utah for a stage race.
    That night I wanted to show some teammates the original "Force"
    posting. Unfortunately I had to wade through approximately 600 pages
    where you reference him. I understand (dare I say support) your
    desire to make fun of the Force, but I really think you have gotten
    out of control. If I was Daggs (how many times have I said that??) I
    would definitely be concerned. Stalker.

    Oh yeah and on topic, my favorite 'cross racer is Bart Gillespie. You
    may not know him, but he is the man. Here's why:
    Nice guy
    Has a job
    Gets it done
    I hardly know any others

    Thank you.

    Bart Gillespie, who hasn't lost a local Utah (non-UCI) 'cross race in
    something like 3-years ... Until last week, when Chris Pietrzak, who's been
    pushing Bart all season, finally got the better of him.

    Bart still got second, though, by a significant margin over 3rd place.
