Together, our passion is riding. Skye's passion is surfing too. One of Rob's passions is XC skiing. Not talking about love interests here.. you can passionate towards a human, a place or anything really but your passion? it's what you want to do. How do I tell what my passion is? When I am stuck it traffic, frustrated, I think about a new bike design. My passion. Sure I want to ride it. Ya I want others to see it.. but really? I do it for me. Not for you. It would be awsome if you like what I do. If you appreciate it and can relate it to your passion. Skye named our new bike. Passion. I didn't ask him how he came up with that name. I really didn't have to though. I hear him talk about ride days, people he cares for , places he has been. Passion.
You may consider a guy like Skye lucky. He gets to ride, surf, has a rad girl. lives on the beach. make it the way he wants it. He's not afraid of his passion. he does not fear it, he goes after it. We were hangin' in Portsmouth and he and Stompy were talking about getting weird infections and medical emergencies in small countries, places I had never heard of. Seems nuts to me.. it's not my passion, it's theirs.
My passion is building bikes, love to ride them. I also love lanie and my kids, Roz, Steph and Matt.. Building bikes is my passion. and though it's not finished here is the result, to date of my Passion. Passion. 
Congrats FTW, Rob, Skye and the Sinister Crew

Funny picture that is. You see, the first ever real mountain bike I ever owned I photographed in almost the same position with almost the same background. My ruby red schwinn moab, complete with Indy C fork and white siding background. More than a coincidene if you ask me, perhaps another sign that it was meant to be. =o)
