SuperChunk Returns


Super Chunk and his big bro Jake are super stoked about the winter olympics. Here they train for the US bob sled team...

My sister in law, mother of superchunk sent me this message:

sooo...my smallest tough guy had an interesting day yesterday...while in the gym climbing on his teacher, he reached up as he sneezed, which threw him off balance and he grabbed her hair. Here's where the problem comes in....It was a wig. Yup, my boy ripped the teachers wig off. When she turned around to get it, another kid saw her and literally got scared and starting screaming and crying. My boy just sat there holding her hair, staring at her. ...he doesn't know his own strength I tell ya...

rode with the boys tonight. Todd el presidente, slick rick, spot paul, biddle (ty domi of cross), and me. Trails were very good, although we hit one low section and it was a little wet, as long as it gets cold tonight, we'll be in good shape for a couple of days. Todd was pretty mellow tonight, he even envoked the old man stretch rule twice. I have a WTB Exiwolf on the front of the gay UPS truck. That tire is nice when conditions are dry and perfect but kinda sucks ass in unpredictable conditions. Meaning, you are cruising through the trails that are super nice, you hit a corner with a little slime, and you might end up on your ass if you aren't careful. Got get an ignitor on there...

Got word today that I won't be allowed to race in the open single speed class in the mass because it's a sport class. I thought it was open. I think I'm just gonna retire. The promoters are good guys, god bless I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. I'm so over this, they don't get it. Oh well, sounds like the master's (50+) guys are after them now, and the guys that finished in the top 3 of their age groups that now have to race pro, are after them next. I guess the single speeders were the first to read the rules and see we were taking a beating. Really this could have been handled so much better, and at the end of the day, why is their no elite single speed class? because the promoters don't want to pay cash out to another class. I don't fault them for wanting to make money, and some of my ss breathern didn't handle the lack of pay out last year really well. That hurts. Whatever, I'm quiting. From now on the MS 150 is my big event. I'm gonna put a tripple on my road bike and hit the century club.

finally check out this serial killer vs. computer geek quiz. I got 8 out of 10. I would love to see a dirty single speeder vs. serial killer quiz. that would be funny. After ss worlds last year, many would have been hard pressed to tell some of us from serial killers. That was the most I drank since college. I think it took 2 years off my life. yeah, good times.

I don't get it either....silly new rules don't make sense!
I guess:
Over the years Everybody had to have a class to fit their need. Seems we have finally reached the point of not enough room for any more.
I say:
Realign the classes into a more realistic arrangement. Like thin the excess of age groups...

I would just like to point out that I got a 3/10 in the serial killer or computer geek quiz. damn if everybody doesn't look like a serial killer.

ah.....
the arguement of the classes

it is all downhill after the PRO MEN
after that
we are all just novelty classes

the CLYDESDALE CLASS gets less respect than the single speed class
which is odd
as the clydesdale can not change their classification as easily as a Single Speeder can....

Clydesdales are often seen as a beginner class....
well
beginner should be beginner....
no subgroups
just beginner

as for Clydesdale....
on a good day I get just below 230 pounds
maybe 80 pounds more than the average Expert Winning Male....

is there a difference?

oh
have a good time at the SEAGULL CENTURY this fall

Exiwolf is naughty as a front tire, try it on the rear, it's better...
Classification issues.. didn;t this cause a mass exodus from Norba years ago... best way to fight it is not to race it, let;s start our own series..I'm game.
7-10 on the quiz... I don;t know any CPU geeks that don't already look like they've killed somebody, or are "willing to learn"...Superchucnk is a fledgiling caveman, there is still hope for humanity, nurture his caveman side and he will grow up to ba a good man...Don't quit, just race anyway, aren't you racing because you love racing for the fun of it and not $$ rewards? seems like whining to me, just race, the wrinkles wil work themselves out in time. Has anyone spoken to the powers that be about the changes and offered up an alternate restructuring?
