We still have a Kona poster at the shop with him sending that huge Adidas wood drop. I was actually wondering recently where he wound up - good flashback, Vital!!

For all the youngsters:



And some high speed moto action:



Carlin won the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 2011 and 2012 on a Ducati Multistrada 1200, setting an all time motorcycle record the first year and breaking his own record in 2012. His 9:52.8 time means an average of 75.4mph. Gnarly!
