It is my understanding that there is someone on this forum that has the username of Shiflett and that this person feels that they are a better mountain biker than me. Apparently he feels that his numorus wins and high finshes in his racing career tops my ability to finish races as a beginner. Hey, not just anyone can finish a begginer race, trust me I know because the only guy I beat had a busted bike (I know this because he was beating me when it happened and I ended up passing him, that's right I passed him).

So I guess this boils down to me challenging Shiflett to a race, you against me, man vs.......tot. If I win then I get your bike, if you win then..........I'll.....give you a hug. Oh crap, I hope that isn't JAMES SHIFLETT, he'll bury me.

"Well, ya see, sir I understand you're lookin' for sparrin' partners, and I jus' want ta let ya know that I am very available. "

Don"t know about that hug though.

Don't do it James! It's a trick. He lets you win on purpose and then... let the squeezin' begin.
