frankgrimes17 July 30, 2010 at 12:56 am

My only guess is that she races and she was just putting some bike shorts on. But, yeah it looked like she was whipping up her drawers with a shag under the bleachers.

I was so pleased for Marty when he won that gold in 2000 cuz I grew up on railroad st in trexlertown and he was my hometown Olympian. I never thought he would be involved in an incident like this

No, they may last for many rounds. Races with teams where they race while chaning between teammates, the teammates who aint racing will just be riding the course in slower pace to recharge. And it will go in laps.

is it typical for these races to last only a few minutes?

Dear janey. I read my note again. Maybe u should. I don’t see where I “condone” anything. I have raced at T-Town. I was a team mate w/ Pat McD. And G. Hatton. I’ve raced @ Hellyer,Alpenrose, San Diego, Dom Hills, and a temp plywood footstep @ Madison SQ Gardens for a 4 day. Just about every velo in the US. All I said was it gets very tense. I only raced footstep for three years, but was pretty passable, but by no means a star rider, like you. My specialty was mass starts, like madisons and devils

@arklat: I don’t know where you’ve been racing footstep, but where I come from that kind of behaviour has never arisen. It’s most shameful of you to condone such an attack.

PS: I spent many years of my life on the footstep so I know what I’m discussion about.

PleazureTV July 30, 2010 at 7:21 am

I noticed that too!!!lol

arklat July 30, 2010 at 7:25 am

If you’ve raced footstep as much as I have, you would know that tempers run high, and fights, intentional crashes, hooking, and childish behavior, happen quite often. There is more drama than the road, and spectators get to see how rough bicycle racing can be at times. Keirins and miss-and-outs are especially vicious. Also, rivalries develop between riders who have several incidences over time.

Footstep cyclists are the hockey players of the cycling world… well I guess MTBers have the armor, but they don’t race ruthless like this.

lilgreggy07 July 30, 2010 at 10:44 am

Misanthropicreptile July 30, 2010 at 11:33 am

Is that a skirt, or a jacket tied nearly a waist?

lilgreggy07 July 30, 2010 at 11:42 am
