Q: How long have you
owned a Cannondale?
I
started shopping the FX400's in April 2000. I bought my 02
cannibal in October 2000 and have been obsessed ever since!
Seeing this project succeed has meant more to me than my own
business at times. I posted 600 'rah rah' typed messages on
ATVconnection cheerleading for Cannondale and letting people
know how awesome they are! I know a lot of guys that were
influenced to buy by those posts and hope they aren't too pissed
now that we are in the post-failure period! Now that things have
settled down and parts and fixes are available for most issues i
would recomend the Cannon's to a buddy. IF....they have some
mechanical aptitude and a willingness to not go along with the
herd!
Q: Would you
recommend Cannondale to your buddies?

Q:. What type of riding do you do?
FAST ridin baby! Wheelies, weird pit
jumps, hill climbin, trials type obstacles and i love that fast
trail ridin!
I'm purely a rec rider at this point though i dream of racing!
8/10 i'll be running my first HS. Sand pits and trails are my
stompin grounds and i have been getting on the MX track a bit
too.
Q: What mods have you done to your bike?
My cannibal has changed to silver and
black plastic. I've added T-9 baja wheels rear, douglas billet
ultimates front, a pingel tether kill, moto number plate, and
Elkas all around. I've got a brand new motor and all new
bearings/bushings/blah blah blah. I bought the cannon so i
wouldn't need to do lots of upgrades. :)
Q: What advice would you give someone just starting in the
Cannondale community?
Pay attention to the boards and don't be
afraid to ask questions.
5. Give us a little history on yourself?
I'm an independent art jeweler working
from home and selling at shows on weekends. (thereby the problem
with racing, arrggh)
6. Any sponsors/people you would like to thank?
I gotta thank all the members of
Cannondaleriders who are keeping this dream alive!! Great job
men!! Keep it up! Thanks to Kyle at r&S for keeping me runnin
and especially to my 'bro for getting me into quads and sharing
the Cannondale drama with me. I also gotta thank my son for
makin this all so fun!
