Whoops, sorry about that. Sarcasm seems to be the natural
state for rbr sometimes.

No doubt the LIVEDRUNK lifestyle would help with that.

I agree a hundred per cent with this. Maybe we should have programs that

If their dreams involve dangerous working conditions, poverty,

Well that pretty much describes the vast majority in most every sport.
The reality is that there are millions who fail for the few who make
it. I don't see that as a reason not to do something you love.

My point is not that people shouldn't do something
they love. My point is that they shouldn't do
something stupid.

An example is guys like Crit Pro crying like a baby
about getting ripped off at Superweek.

You put CP and stupid in the same concept, that's like water and wet.

Define career. I see nothing wrong with somebody who's past high school
(or college) spending 5-10 years slumming around racing on a national
circuit. A bike-racing gypsy, so to speak. When they finish, they'll
still have decades to do something more normal. The key is they need to
be aware enough to know when it's time to move on.

...and we shouldn't be too judgmental about what it means to "move on".
Lots of ex-racers end up in the bike industry, and there's nothing wrong
with that.


Yeah, a lot of ex-pro's end up in the bike industry punching Prentice
Steffan in the face (Martha Jemison).

...Or they end up coaching New York City cyclists and going caveman on
Adam Myerson's lid (Scott "T2000 Terminator" Mercer).

It was over before I even knew what happened.
I didn¹t know someone could hit someone so fast."

Yeah, many people do not. Be careful out there.

If a discussion relates in some way to art history, then he'll say he was.
Otherwise, no.

The T2000 Mercer Terminator did that with the old software (v 1.2).
With the new algorithms, the model T2000 can punch twice as fast.
