Hi mate,

it did took around 8 months to get everything working....

not like britain, but with the first hard rain the track completely destroyed, so i had to learn everything about drenage and track design...

but now its ready for us to set the 2012 World Retro bike championship! with the presence of stars like Tinker, Tomac, Greg Herbold, and my close friend Hans Rey! is anyone up for it????

lets keep posting and see how far this passion goes!

i might travel next year to UK to ride in the retobikes event!

regards

zero

Hi Zero

You are a very impressive guy, clearly with a great passion for bikes. Passion like that speaks volumes about a person and i thin the warm welcome from all reflects that.

Why have you taken so ling to become a member??

I love your garden by the way, what a great thing to have. It must have taken a lot of work!

another picture at home,

this is great friend Renata Falzoni, a pioneer MTBiker in Brazil since 1988 and she is still a great bike journalist and Tinker Juarez at home last year.

I have a friend from the music biz lives a bit further out of Sao Paulo and told me that anyone on a normal Western income is a very wealthy person in Brazil as cost of living is very low. He earns half (OK he works 1/10 of what I do) my earnings per month yet has a flat in Sao Paulo and a country home outside with a recording studio and swimming pool etc.)

Strangely we long perceived Brazil to be a third world country - yet he was telling me that he considered the USA to be more of a third world country than Brazil in many ways.

But there is a massive gap between rich and poor - more than we are used to in europe. And the rich don't pay very much in tax.....

:shock: amazing track in your garden :shock:
tinker is still in badass condition.
can remenber watching him hammering on the worldcup track in houfallize in the early 90s. tomac was leading, but he was going on the 3rd chainring uphill...
brazil is a wonderful country. but have been there only once, one week business trip to sao paulo, luckily could stay for one day longer and visit the coast.
