I didn't realise that. I know he loved the thrill and exhilaration of
being 
out on trapeze, flying a spin****r and screaming through the water.... at 
just 11 years of age!!!

He wanted me to seriously consider a 29er for him as well but I could not 
afford it at the time.

I have not heard much more about the 29ers since. I know the 49ers took
