Mike IS the guy to go to for gear questions in Van/New West. He has some fantasmic gear. If you meet up with him, ask to see his Sportsmask T3.
Mike, you gotta find a way to be posterboy for Sportsmask... that thing is sick, and made me want to use my VISA for a T3 and paintjob. Thank God I was able to realize I'm already in enough debt... could have been disastrous.
