Well I don't care about history
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school
'Cause that's not where I wanna be
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school
I just wanna have some kicks
I just wanna get some chicks
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school - THE RAMONES
The 2 sports that I love, mountaineering & cycling, both have long track records. My house is filled with climbing and bike books.
Knowing your place in history is important.
Without knowing who came before you, it's hard to move forward.
And plus, it keeps you from thinking that you're hot stuff. Lets say you just did a rad first ascent, you may be surprised to find out that your "first ascent" was done 40 years ago using crappy gear.
History keeps you honest.
So read your books & enjoy your sports knowing that you might be making history someday yourself.

Hey, thanks for reading KISL.
The Ramones: Punk rock at its finest. I like them better than the Sex Pistols for sure.
