Mostly SLaB women - and some of their other halves - ahem - men, are coming to get autographs and ride. Please rsvp to Beverly at  b e v c o @ m a c . c o m - so we know to expect you, and how many will show up!

See you then!

Olympic hopeful Jill Kintner shares secrets

We were so fortunate to have such direct contact with the speed and talent of Jill Kintner. Her attitude and ease on the bike were contagious - and we noticed our skills improve in the 2 hours we rode together. Pumping on the back side? What? Luckily everybody asked her to interpret the foreign language of BMX and Xctry speak - and we learned how to push down before a little hill, jump or gap, and float over the hazard - gaining speed on the opposite side. Felt like a kid with a new bike, we all were giggling like Jill still does - it is so obvious she loves the sport - and still gets a kick out of being on the bike! The picture album, video included, are posted on the PHOTOS page of the iamSLaB website. Enjoy!

The Sea Otter Classic is arriving soon in Monterey, and SLaB is completely stoked to have GT step up the sponsorship with hosting a riding clinic with Jill Kintner - Olympic bound, world champion mountain and bmx riding diva! Additionally I'm coming out of the dark cave of some sort of time warp that happened since '99, and registered to race a cross country mtn bike race. Yes - beginner is the correct category for this 40+ year old. Race is on Friday afternoon. Clinic is on Sunday morning, April 20, 9 a.m., Monterey CA. see www.iamSLaB.com for more information
