Wait, they don't have visors?

Much like the Specialized Brain Shock system, the Lazer Genesis has a built in Visor that only comes out when it senses that there may be spray coming off the person in front of you and retracts when unused. it is quite amazing actually.

Yash-sweet lid. After my season ended this year early due to a nice crash in CT into the barriers I am in the game for a new helmet. Looks like I will have to be in the game for the super duper 08 Hup'ster 007.

I read in your column about the crash. It sounded quite devastating. I remember it to be a poorly placed barrier? I hope you are recovering and able to ride again, it is amazing how quickly the body heals! Have you been receiving the emails about the clothing order? If you would like all that info and such, please email me, it is pretty time sensitive.
I will check in when the new helmet order is. The helmet is soooooo boss.

I like! I want! When a horse wears a Hup helmet, it is like a MAN wears a Hup helmet.

Recovered fully, on to better things (hup hup)!...have paid the dues, ordered the kit, paying the pain fairy in the small room in my basement known as the pain cave, riding the fixie, all focused on getting to the start line in 08 B men and managing to eat one of your famous cupcakes......all I have left is to get one of those 'smoke screen' buckets you show.....let me know, I will pay the piper....

This year shall be the breakthrough season for us all.
I will not participate in any Secret training nor any double secret training. Only good old training and a really good stretching and core strengthening regimen starting in march. My goal is to be in the top 50 at USGP and also be top ten in a local race.

Strangely I am not sure where the cupcakes nickname came from. Much like Triki from Spain, who loves cookies and is called the Cookie Monster, I love the post race cupcakes, but have never made them only eaten them.
