I’m sure you’ve seen the infomercials with Billy Mays for the product, Might Mendit. I’m a sucker for infomercials and if Billy Mays is on it, then that means the product is pretty good, right?

Recently I tore a huge hole on my Sette Impact Protective Suit because I was taking it off the wrong way and pulled to hard…RIIIIP! Big hole in the arm pit.

Here’s the damage…

Got some Mighty Mendit for $9.99

I applied it to parts of the damaged area. Keep in mind that the fabric is like an elastic mesh, so that meant the Mighty Mendit was going to get a bit messy.

Put some pressure on it, made sure it sealed.

Voila! It’s fixed! Just let it dry, wait about 2 hours to wear and 24 hours to wash and you’re ready to roll.

Though the repair job it self wasn’t pretty looking, Mighty Mendit worked. I did think about sewing up my suit, but figured since the material was holey and stretchy, that it would have torn through the stitching again. Mighty Mendit did a good job and I was pretty impressed with it. For $10 is it worth it, sure. Besides if you don’t know how to sew, this is perfect for you!

We gathered up the crew and invited some friends to try out downhill riding at the World Famous Southridge course in Fontana, Ca. We were joined by my former Downhill Race Rival/Buddy Johnny Dow as well as Tim Scissors, Mark West and Val M.

This was Priscilla’s second time riding DH and she has remarkably improved since her first time. She was more confident and was even building up speed as she attacked certain portions of the trail. For the most part it was Tim, Mark and Val’s first time out on a DH course. Some of the stuff we did can be intimidating, but when you have a great support system, anyone can be successful.

I took a spill that morning, my front tire went into a run and I tried to ditch the bike run, but since I was on a descent, I lost my footing, tumbled, hit my head and right shoulder, tumbled, and came to a sliding stop. I sat there for a few seconds, took inventory and found that I was ok. My Sette Impact Suit really protected me. Thanks to the Dainese Raptor helmet…I’m still here!

Everyone else did really great. In fact you can see all the photos from this weekend, courtesy of Joe Solancho, HERE.
