Case in Point

I watched a movie about a week ago called "Leatherheads" it is a story based in the 1920's about the early days of American pro football. The vibe of the sport in those days, not much money involved, evolving rules, mud, beer, rowdy fans... all reminds me of the current American cyclocross scene.
Let me illustrate my point a little bit here... check out this video of SSCXWC 08. Decoded that means: Single Speed Cyclocross World Championship 2008. Fog machines, windmills, drum corp, bubbles and foam obstacles, costumes and more...

Cyclocross is growing all over the USA, it's already HUGE in the pacific NW and New England states, now it's getting big in the Midwest too. Here's the rundown on the Ohio State Championship cyclocross event yesterday in Columbus, OH

Look out guys! Here's a woman's team from up North, you know this has got to be a riot every weekend!
