RE: what classifies as 'scale' builds?
well i will always fly when i can. people say that kind of thing all the time. i ski in the backcountry alone and ride my mountain bike alone, windsurf alone, hike alone...not because that is the way i want it but because it's hard to find people all the time willing to go at certain times,etc. you have to be smart about what you are doing....and let people know where you are,etc. i refuse to let the fact that i can't find a buddy to go out with to stop me from doing a lot of things.
anyway, this thread is getting to become a little off topic or it's going to get yanked to the sofa pile!
thanks for saving it birdman...and thanks for the info!
