Sweetness.

I've spent 3 months increasing my hops from 0" to 10". . .

I see a trip to St. Aug in my future. . .

sorry my bad, its three if u count the number of times he left the ground but i count as the number of times ur tyre touches the ground.

so ur still right in saying its 3, i just count pre-hops differently. sorry
