Some timeless words by a great mind of the past century—RL - Ryan Leech via Bookmarklet

"I still like to refer to dual stunt as speed trials. The idea originated from speed trials but the truth of the matter is that it has evolved into a different creature. One where speed and technicality are rewarded but the course can be mastered with a regular mountain bike." - Ryan Leech via Bookmarklet

"Amid the second-growth rainforest bounding the North Shore of Vancouver, out of sight to most Vancouverites, an isolated terrain has provided for an explosive evolution in sport: mountain biking has progressed farther and faster here than anywhere else in the world." - Ryan Leech via Bookmarklet

"Suppose, during a date, you casually say, “The sugar maples in Harvard Yard were so beautiful every fall term.” Here’s what you’re signaling, as translated by Dr. Miller: “My S.A.T. scores were sufficiently high (roughly 720 out of 800) that I could get admitted, so my I.Q. is above 135, and I had sufficient conscientiousness, emotional stability and intellectual openness to pass my classes. Plus, I can recognize a tree.”" - Ryan Leech via Bookmarklet
