They don't appear to resize for me. There was another picture that Valentine posted in a thread that I'm still afraid to open now.

Have they ever resized for you, or is it a recent problem of not resizing? Might of broke the resize script when I was playing around.

I think you broke the script, they're no longer resizing for me either. Latest Chrome on Win7Pro.

Let me know if you want me to put together a poster for you once you get the high-res photo(s). Free for members of course :)

The higher the resolution, the better, fortunately Blair provides them at least at 10MP.

I wish he would setup in other corners, I put knee down in that one and wagon wheel 100% of the time, but they are SO off chamber, I'd like to see what a nice pic would look like through a flat turn.

If you plan to buy one, you can ask him to try and get you in a specific turn. Although he is some what limited on turns depending on time of day and year. He was talking once about how one turn he can get great shots in for about 3 months out of the year, the rest of the time the lighting isn't right for a good shot.

Miles, we have to go back and do this over, you messed this picture up:

You were not in line like you should have been, if you would have been lined up behind me with the same body position, this shot would have been epic.

Also, if you're gonna have Blair travel the unbeaten path for your shots, then you may want to buy at least more than just "one".

Here are a few pics of my tire wear, since we're sharing. Pilot Road 2 rear tire, practically brand-new (<200mi), running at 30psi cold / 35ish warm, fast intermediate pace.

After 3 sessions:

After a full day:

Overall nice, smooth wear, except for some feathering on the trailing edge of the treads and along the very edge of the tire.

Dude I don't care who you are, when you get nothing but several club members all in one shot with knees down, it *IS* epic!

Is feathering on the trailing edge like indication of slow rebound or some shit?

Of course I don't know what I'm talking about, but I thought that was an indication that something wasn't right with the suspension.

Excessive wear on the trailing edge of a tread groove can be a sign of excessive rebound damping - as seen here:
http://www.fwmr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4363&,

But in this case Kegans tire is ideal - a good balance of grip vs. wear.
