Re: MXS Twitter
Thank God for modern medical science! It's amazing what they can do now. For years, anytime someone has a laser out and is playing around with it (R.I.P. Jeff Alessi) I always say "Careful, you can detach a retina with that, but if you go to medical school long enough, you can reattach it!" The gre...

Re: MXS Twitter
No. The last bubble has dissipated and it's still blurry. Slowly getting better. I have a big floater in there and will probably need that removed later. Tuesday after next I get a check up and I'll ask about it. Old age sux!

Re: MXS Twitter
I'm stoked on the new work though. Day four last Thursday I go to the ER with a detached retina totally unrelated to trauma. All out-of-pocket cuz I'm not covered yet. Genetic macular degeneration. I do NOT recommend that odyssey to anyone. Panic inducing loss of vision. Finally back to work tomorr...

Re: MXS Twitter
After sitting at a desk and only programming for the last 5 years, I'm back to machining again. 11 foot long, one foot diameter, 3900 pound ChromeMoly Steel shafts! One or two parts a day. I'm really gonna have to get used to standing again. My hips and legs hurt, I'm stoked on the new work though. ...

Re: 2023 SX Discussion
Doh! Aren't you too old and too big for a 20"? Mine wouldn't break when I was skateboarding at 46 and tried to shoulder roll only to get an AC joint separation. So much pain I almost passed out! The sky was magenta and the ground was white, twice. I didn't pass out though!

Re: 2023 SX Discussion
Speaking of going down, Barcia hit so hard that I noticed that his right side of his shoulders looked significantly shorter than his left. That's because of several broken ribs, a badly broken collarbone and the complications that accompany such injuries. Pretty bad for a first-gear endo. Still, we ...

Re: 2023 SX Discussion
I'd give him a pass for a random crash in this. He is a monster talent for sure, but even Honda doesn't give him a pass it appears. I'm not distorting the truth or blowing it out of proportion, but it has gotten less frequent of late. I'm just saying it gave me a bad feeling when he had that big of...

Re: Monte "Turndown" Hill Interview
I have a friend who witnessed Monte screaming at young Josh at Shoug, pointing down at him shouting "You let that kid pass you!" He admitted it and knows Josh is gnarly and gets along with him now. He was so committed to winning, he threw away a second place trophy back when he raced lol. He laughs ...

Re: 2023 SX Discussion
It's harsh how much he blows it for his talent! He seems to drift off when he's over half way through dominating a sesh. I don't see young Jett doing that. He catches his slips at least. It reminds me of some of Eli's rough years, so fast then something inevitably happens. I cursed Chase. The track ...

Re: Monte "Turndown" Hill Interview
More noteworthy is the bit near the end about alienating your kid with rough handling. His late grandfather Ted mentioned how they warned Josh about blowing money and he subsequently went and bought a million dollar mansion right before the backflip crash. He's doing better in his "post-career" I th...

Smith and Hampshire! Reminds me of the MX Sim video contest! Maybe Deegan won't be ghost riding tonight. Tired? Wonder what he'll say?

Re: 2023 SX Discussion
It certainly would be fitting for the Deegans! Not the classiest act, but that is their appeal.
