    ****, I forgot about Huffy too.

    Only Schwin I had was a street, go-fast, bike.

    Buffalo Bayou off of Kirkwood or Dairy Ashford (b/t I10 and Briar Forrest), you had easy access and you could bike all day and only hurt yourself a couple of times. but that's why your friends were there.

    Regrettably my pops relocated us for a job up the 45 in Lewisville TX in 1980 so all my serious trail riding and BMX racing was done in Denton and traveling to Louisiana and OK but I’ve heard so much of BB and would love to ride that area.

    You’re not wrong they just missed the boat, they went bankrupt and sold in the 90s, they were actually against BMX and called it dangerous, let me add Skyway rims were expensive BUT absolutely the lightest rims in the market, EVERYONE wanted a pair

    My Schwin was black with red trim and skinny tires and it looked fast as hell

    I guess you never experienced the "Ho Chi Minh Trail" in/around Memorial Park? That was way more "grownup" than the last kiddy things I was talking about.

    It's hard not to lose it. 6-14. 6 and ******* ****ing 14. Here's a Pic of my wife kicking me off a cliff in Crete (Greece) for some comedic relief. 20240416_132115.jpg

    This post was a lie.

    It was Wilcrest at the bayou, Lakeside Country Club area.

    Only the 98 Marlins started 6-14 after winning 90+ games the year before. They would finish 54-108.

    Yikes.

    I don't believe the Astros are gonna drop a 100 loss season on us. I truly don't. But time will tell. Here's hoping they at least have a decent year.

    That’s the problem. He hasn’t hired a FO/GM and let them do the work. You can’t tell me Crane hasn’t play GM. His last 3 big FA contracts were either signed without a GM or player (Hader) he really wanted back.

    Bregman, Tucker, Pressly, Valdez and DFA 0say Abreu will never be on a 100 loss Astros team because they'd be traded before the Stros hit 100.
