naa its ok dude. I wasnt pissed. Afghanistan is like the forgotten war. some people think we pulled out of there. and your right the pic is a little dark. it was very sunny that day and the sun was to my back. so no worries I wasnt pissed

Forgotten war, eh? The politics on this are hard to comprehend sometimes. Whatever your position on the war, I'm all about supporting our troops. Too bad we can't have a jump contest or race to determine boundaries and conflict. Ohhh, if only life were that simple!

By the way, mountnbiker, care to join me on a podcast?

I would interview you as one of our readers. I would call you via Skype (you don't have to be a Skype member). I would record our conversation via hot recorder and mp3. Yourmtb.com edits our conversation and posts it for all to hear.

We should talk about mountain biking. If we begin to dabble in politics, well, that's ok too. It is mainly a conversation, that we edit for succintness (is that a word?) and usefulness. We make it sound good.

Thoughts?

The picture is a tad dark. A tighter crop would be good.

Still a great pic BTW.
