Very well done Nick! An excellent education for all the younger groms out there preparing for their life of shred. One: We are all on the same team. Our biggest hurdles are the US Forest Service, BLM and the Sierra Club. Two: You will never get rich in the bike industry. Don't ever fool yourself into thinking you are going to make a bunch of money. Do it because you love it. Three: If you have an issue with someone, go right to the source, ask questions, and don't let your emotions control your ability to think logically. This goes back to item one, "We are all on the same team". With regards to the ski bike. I manage the Diamondback Pro BMX team. Nate Berkheimer and Robbie Wright both ride Slopecycles. They swear by them, and the things they do on them seem pretty legit. Check it out at, http://www.slopecycle.com/home.html
