sports movies are so corny?

that is like saying that you do not like Chinese food

the topic is too grand to generalize

I bet I could find some sport movies that this kid would like

documentaries like
A Sunday in Hell or le Course en Tete!

or bicycle theme movies like
Breaking Away or The Triplets of Bellville

lets start with those four

as far as not upgrading until you win

looks like the C Category in cross lives by that motto

I say how about not getting on a bike worth over two grand until you win
that sounds like a good piece of racing advice

that said...
I wish I had a bike over two grand
heck
I wish I had several bikes worth over two grand!

my feeling
not everyone is as gifted as this kid
I am sure he works hard
but I am sure that there have been people who have worked just as hard but did not do as well

some people just gotta move up
and some people have come to accept that they will never win
