• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Orange and impressive

With a knobby tire also ... This riding drives home the point its the rider, not the bike doing most of the work ...

I'd say impressive and drop the color coding :)

Yea Kelly that guy has done alot of Trials time. Most great riders have. Roger Decoster was a trials star long before he ever threw a leg over an MX bike. The list goes on and on.

Blasusiak uses a cut Michelin FIM comp (the knobs are sliced across the middle) last time we looked.
Both him and big Dave have taught me alot about getting through ugly terrain with their calm style combined with leg/bike pop and slip clutch work leverage techniques. Taddy is in super great condition for all the anaerobic work(this stuff) plus the aerobic riding that he needs to do to win these events. I love watching these extremo guys work the machines through this stuff!! good post.
 
I'm impressed that he was tall enough to have his feet touch the ground while performing these maneuvers.:thumbsup:
 
Watch how he is standing on one peg and has the other foot on a rock with air between his butt and the seat ... He gets totally off the bike a couple places ... I'm not in climbs like that but from time to time here, I get in lots of rocks ... I'm forced to get better as have got to quit trashing my bike in such terrain and U gotta use what is around U to keep the bike upright ..

Watch the first of the video (15 sec mark) where he first starts barreling up the hill ... he makes a sharp 'S' turn at speed and then does a very VERT climb ... That is not easy ...
 
Taddy was a world class trials rider and it shows. Excellent clutch work with minimal tire spin. :applause:
