A Little About Myself

Howzit! (How is it?!)



  • I am based on the island of Oahu, home of Tia Carrereof "True Lies" and "Wayne's World" fame.

  • Our group of three (we call ourselves "Adrenaline Junkies" or AJ) started mountain biking back in October 1992 with a one-speed, one-brake cruiser and a couple of Bridgestone city bikes, walking up hills and bombing down the back side. We've gone through several bikes since then and have come to enjoy all aspects of mountain biking. Z-man now rides a Kona King Kahuna titanium bike and Centuryman has a GT Xizang titanium, both with ONLY high end parts (XTR, ti everything, Crossmax wheels).

    NEW! 9/98. Check out the Adrenaline Junkies in action!

  • I categorize myself as a recreational mountain biker/ part-time racer/ contender-wannabe/ adventurer. I'm not really hard-core but I'm also not a street-riding pretender with all the cool parts that never sees the dirt. I like the competition and camaraderie of racing but have resigned myself to the fact that I'll always be a mid-packer no matter how hard I train. Besides, riding won't be so fun if you ride to train versus if you ride just to have fun and enjoy the outdoors.

  • My personal steed is a Mongoose AMPB-3 full suspension-- an excellent cross country and all purpose trail bike. As of August 1998, my main bike is now a SpecializedFSR Limited: Fox Air Vanilla Shock, long travel Judy SL, azonic stem, Thomson seatpost, xt/xtr, Machine Tech wheelset. More travel, a lot more solid feeling but not as good a climber nor as agile as the AMP.

  • Favorite Male Racers: John Tomac and Rune Hoydahl. Two consumate mountain bikers. Class acts on and off the bikes, and friendly, too!

  • Favorite Female Racer: Leigh Donovan. "Digger" is the queen of the gravity set and the coolest of them all. She even writes back to answer your questions.
