Thanks Pellicle, I must be an over thinker. Yikes, seems like you live on the wild side. Ouch! Broken ribs hurt!

I understand the difficulty in making such a major decision. My son had that dilema 16 months ago. He did a ton of research & talked to different people about the different valves. He chose the cow tissue valve & is extremely happy with it. If I understand it properly, the valve is put into a...

My son is riding that big coaster tomorrow. I'll post an update. Hopefully it will be a good one.
