I used to do a lot of sports style modeling, more like equipment modeling when I was younger. I used to put on all the provided gear and then 'engage' in the activities related to the equipment while being photographed. This 'engaging' was repititious, I would have to do things over and over again and if that wasnt enough if I did it in a way that was 'good' then I had to try and do it
that way over and over again. I was cleaning out some files the other day when
I ran across this 1987 catalogue for Cannondale bicycles. I had to ride this wheelie off this rock in Central Park so many times I lost count. I ended up not only getting paid but they gave me a brand new 12 speed racing bike a Canondale 6oo in red-which
I still have, and still ride. I guess I am realizing that time has passed and there is only the present and hopefully the future but the past is only a memory. It seems like just yesterday but it was so many yesterdays ago.

You rock, Sport! I wish I had done something uber cool in my past that I could look back and go, "Dayum, I rocked!"
Very Cool!

Pictures and memories help the next generation understand their loved ones weren't always who they are today... I laugh when I say to my sons "You should have known me when I was somebody!". I hope you've shown that picture to your son!
You are the most famous person I almost know.
I fell off my bike every time I hit a bump. I can't imagine doing that stunt over and over again.
Buffalo: He knows,he's seen...and its true...its important.
