I came home saturday night after one day on the trail with blaine watching and riding with sergey.. (Thanks for letting me be passenger). I can only say that what I saw worked incredibly well. It was fun to help hold wrenches and try to understand 3/4's of what the concepts were.
Blaine deserves some thanks to for putting up with my fumbling hands, incesant questions, and a magnet full of metal shavings
.
It was also fun to finally see the hammers - my first ride there. I'm going, not soon (need a little bit of odds and ends on my jeep), but I'm convinced that they are THE trails to run, everything now pales in comparison. Akin to Plato's theory of the caves. Now that I'm out, going back in would be certain destruction...
Congradulations Blaine. You thought it. You built it. It works. And it works well. The reward for the time, effort and all is present in the satisfaction of an awesome rig. Congrats!!!
