This is the real deal.(Sid Taberlay at Fontana Nationals)I caught up with Scott to ask him about his brand-spanking new series, and Sho-Air, his mountain biking team.How did you get involved with Mountain Biking?Well it’s a long story, but the short version is: I was a relatively healthy person (6 ft 180 lbs non drinker or smoker) before the replica Patek Philippe watch 91101 tragedy. However, soon after those unfortunate events, my company went from a very solid $25 million in sales with 102 employees to a troubled $10 million company within a short eleven months. I was forced to lay off over 50 employees, of which at least half had been with me for over 10 years. I took it very hard and started drinking and smoking heavily.
Within two years (2004) I was 225 lbs with 25% body fat. I was smoking about three packs of cigarettes a day, and drinking a 6-pack of Guinness and a half a bottle of wine every night on average. I was having some serious health issues and I needed to make a change. A friend suggested I try mountain biking because I used to be an Longines replica watches avid motorcycle rider. So I borrowed a bike and went for a short 4.5 mile ride with only four feet of climbing. And after struggling to complete the ride while throwing up three times, I was angry that I let myself go so bad, and I was hooked on mountain bike riding.
I quit smoking and drinking that day! That was October of 2004 and by February of 2006 I weighed 165 lbs at 9.5% body fat and I was an official non-smoker and non-drinker, except for the occasional glass of red wine.(Scott Tedro and Ty Kady at Sea Otter) Tedro left, Kady on rightHow did you start this series?I was approached by some of Movado replica watches the top Pro Riders and on of the top promoters in organized mountain bike racing to come to a meeting when I was at Mount Snow, VT competing at the 2008 USAC one-day Mountain Bike National Championships (I won my class in 2007) and was trying to repeat. At the meeting they explained to me that the NMBS (national mountain bike series) was closing its doors due to a lack of funds and they told me that their would not be a professional mountain bike race series in the USA for 2009.
