Greetings Loyal Team Seagal fans, and members! I'd like to say first off, Merry Christmas! Christmas came one day early this year for yours truly - Casey Ryback. I have been somewhat secretive as to what I've managed to find and place on order. I have told a few of you just how excited I am at what I've found, and now that they've arrived, I can't hold it in any longer. Oh mama.
Behold:
It looks as though the energy drink Gods looked upon my misfortune regarding the Fixx and the Monster BFC, and saw I was sad. They then did smile, and granted me the gift of Lightning Bolt - in both flavors! The much heralded Cherry Charge, and the untested Asian Experience.
We had all but lost hope that this stuff was even still produced. It turns out that it is still available, though it is rather pricey after shipping. Will this re-ignite our interest in having a Seagal Energy Drink sponsorship? We'll see.
I got 2 packs of 6 (one of each flavor) which should be enough for all the Team Seagal soldiers who are doing Team Seagal missionary work to have one. Merry Christmas to all those who are badasses, and to all those who are badasses a good night!
-C. Ryback

Sightings at State CX Championships
Bet you're sick of seeing all those scantily-clad dudes each time you check this site, amirite?
In spite of many soldiers left behind and much fallen frozen rain, two Team Seagal representatives journeyed beyond the city limits in search of grueling race conditions, located within the Hermann, MO city limits. However, this time it was not for the purposes of participation, but rather, to support those looking to ride their CX bikes really fast in freezing temperatures, in the rain. For the State Championships, the 1's,2's and 3's were combined into one race since there were a grand total of approximately 7 racers. Our good buddy Dave Breslin took 3rd I believe, and was the only badass to NOT get lapped by the first and second place guys, both of whom had locomotive engines for legs. Nice work, Dave.
The hot, punishing action was not only on the race course, but apparently also in the Xmas light displays (this is hilarious - did anyone else notice?):
The government is denying that they are torturing terrorism suspects by forcing them to enter a cyclocross race and run up these stairs on each lap:
Some po' bastids' bike:
This really lifts the spirits as you come through the start/finish:
An interesting occurrence on the caution tape:
Stay tuned - video at eleven!
