The one thing I hate about meteorologists is that they throw out 10 day forecasts knowing full-well that they have 10 days to adjust their predictions to make it look like they actually know what they are talking about!~

Sorry to hear that, sounds painful, thought this might help



Hillbilly Butt pads are specially designed to offer the ultimate in protection while providing the maximum comfort. These mesh pads are breathable, lightweight, and are worn under your regular riding clothes, providing the added layer of protection needed without making you look like a dork. The butt pads themselves are made of a tough EVA foam to absorb the maximum amount of impact. The extra-stiff tailbone section is specially designed to protect your tailbone from whatever Mother Nature(or Father City) can throw at you.

These durable butt pads provide the best protection of any hip and tailbone pads on the market and are a must for snowboarding, mountainboarding, skateboarding, mountain biking, bmx, roller derby, curling, riding the Dragon, or just about anyone who is risking their a$$!

I particularly like the leopard pattern thong in the picture. I assume that is you (snooter) doing the modeling.

also: the weather patterns get kind of weird in the mountains,
it might be raining on one side of the mountain & not on the other
btw: i will run in the rain just ask that WRX from last year, i think he's still out there trying to catch up

"They" do....LOL! Some of us go in July (Summertime Slayers) and October (Fall on the Dragon). They're not "official" meets...they're just casual meet-ups.
