Rotator cuff injury
Havent gone to see a physio yet but seeing all the different injuries posted here, just wanted to know whether it is common for the rotator cuff to have slight tears from overexertion or holding on for dear life?
The pain only occurs when i raise my arm on a certain angle. But for all intensive purposes, I can still ride without a problem.
Strange thing is that I didnt injure myself or fall off and the other sports I play dont have much to do with my left shoulder (tennis/basketball)
Anybody else experience this same problem from riding and do I need to stay off the bike?

Which Courier Company to send frame to USA?
I have to send a frame back to JensonUSA and need to use a reliable, trackable, registered method. Does anyone have any experience sending large parcels across the Pacific and recommend any particular methods (company?) or should I just go to Australia Post?
Off topic AIF
I know this is off mtb topic, but just needed to see if i could get some advise...
In a nut shell... I joined the Australian Institute of Fitness 2 weeks ago after paying them a $500 deposit. I went to my first induction class last Tuesday. The day after i had a managers meeting at work. afterwards my boss phoned me and gave me an offer a couldn't refuse, and that would be a fantastic career opportunity for me. I accepted.
Video Shoot Location - Any Ideas?
I'm looking for a location within 1 hour of Sydney to shoot a commercial video of a remote controlled helicopter. The location needs to have reasonable vehicle access (a short walk is OK), a classic "Aussie Bush" look, and an open area (approx. 20m wide). All shots will be close to the ground, and ideally the ground needs to be dusty (ie not well covered with grass). Council-controlled land / crown land/ private property would be best since it's had to get permission to shoot in National Parks. Any suggestions?

DTV Shredder ~ Clip for Military Show
This is a little off topic.
although this is demo'd for military use, I can see these ending up in state forests to compete with trail bikes.

is there anyone who would trade their bike for one?

Advice about being caught speeding: Can cops REALLY tell how fast you're going if they're driving towards you?!
Another minor sting in the tail of Angry Dr. was that I got caught speeding on the way down.
Was I speeding? Maybe.
The cop car was travelling in the opposite direction and claims to have caught me whilst he was in motion using his nightrider style car.
Has anyone else been caught speeding like this? Is this possible?

When the hydraulic system was invented, it was braking news.
Q: When is a bike not a bike?
A: When it turns into a road.
Murphy's Bike Law #1: The ride you forget to take a spare tube is the ride where you get a flat tyre.
Murphy's Bike Law #2: The sooner an important event is scheduled after your ride is proportional to the likelihood of an unfixable mechanical occuring during a ride.
