Does anyone know if the Thunderbolt cranks still keep your ankles the furthest away from the crank arm/spindle boss area? I think I remember Odyssey advertising the Wombolt/Twombolt arms as being more angled to keep your feet further apart but I could be completely making that up in my head. I'm really sick of getting ankle bite.

It really is. In the past 3 years or so there's been 2 DIY concrete skateparks, another one that was mainly street oriented stuff like a skate plaza kind of, and an abandoned lot got turned into a trails spot in the middle of the city. Bmx riders and skaters are taking over.

Edit - Here's a random youtube video I found of my favorite new park in the area. All hand built by skaters and bmx dudes.

Washed out and landed on my right knee a couple months ago. It didn't bother me too much at first but I've continued riding since then so it can get pretty sore sometimes. I only really notice though when I'm walking up stairs or if I happen to bump it though. Other than that, I've just has some bruised heels but those are pretty much back to 100% now.

I don't collect, but I generally like the parts from 04-06 better than current stuff. I've got 3 of the good old school Tioga Comp III's in my basement and a 1999 Standard trls250 with custom 14mm drops and a 21.25 top tube.

I really want to get my hands on a good condition all black Primo hemorrhoid seat or maybe a coalition seat.

The kickouts are pretty good as well and big slow floaty threes look rad.

I like the idea of this, but removable brake mounts are the fucking worst.

Kind of strange to think that I've never met this dude, yet when I read this thread title it kind of hit me right in my chest. I don't think I ever even talked to him more than a couple of posts yet this is really bumming me out.

Shred in peace Brian.
