Just a bunny hop, and a manual. Just!

I used to ride with a guy who was number 3 national champ. I learned more on just two rides than all of the years with other people. I'd give anything to spend time with a good welder, Brian Lopes, and Greg Spence the Aussie trumpet player. But time is flying. All I can do is be happy I got a chance to even dabble.
