Love seeing new riders asking for help, if you were near Newark I'd help ya out. This is a great place, I'm sure you'll find a coach (or two, or twenty).
They're a sponsor and nice guys so I wasn't saying anything. I browse their site a LOT and I have to agree. I see these posts getting moved or edited in the near future.
