Garage sale - skeleton fundraising

It's come to the point where I've had to choose between biking (to a point) and skeleton. (I say "to a point" since I intend to continue riding and racing Super D, but am not going to do the downhills, where I'm more likely to get hurt. That and I LOVE my Super D bike so much the downhill bike got neglected this summer...)

That in mind, I've listed my downhill bike on a couple websites for sale. For instance, it's listed here on KSL.com.

It's a sweet bike, so if you know of anyone who needs / wants a downhill bike, let me know or pass on the word!

You can see the ding in the sticker on the fork, lower left view:

And remember the twin splints my poor arms were in last summer?

Couldn't ride it much, and it took a backseat to the Moment this summer. Well, to the Moment and skeleton training. So it's got a lot of riding left in it.

Also decided to trim down my ski and snowboard collection, especially since I only use one or two things regularly. Brad came to the same conclusion, since he has to pay for his America's Cup racing season as well.

Between the two of us, Brad and I dropped off 5 pairs of skis and 2 snowboards at the Park City Ski Swap this weekend, and I've been selling spare parts and equipment on eBay.

Our basement before the sale - we hadn't even realized how much of a collection we'd slowly amassed over the last 5 years!

Kind of funny. Hopefully our collected stuff can help fund our racing.

  1. I really wish I could ride a small Kona frame. I'd buy it in a second. (Don't tell my Bullitt I said that.)
