those crazy kids...

its kinda funny seeing all the fuss being made over cam mccaul's new cable setup. decline magazine just ran a little post on the various methods riders use to get round the gear cable tangling issues from barspins and whips. cam and co have a neat little doo-dad that attaches to their cage mounts and they run an old school road shifter tucked out the way...

it works but its nasty as hell to look at. check this sucker out (the photos are terrible) this is me, back in '96 throwing down some crazy skillz (thats sarcasm just in case you wondered) rocking a shifter under my seat! yes you heard that right - under my damned seat. how f*ckin clever am i? very. thats how. its innovation like this that makes static the best bike company in the world ever.





oh and check Giant pro freeriders chris smith's topcap - that boy got taste ;-)
