NMS:

• Nothing like a huge PAX and a cool gloomy morning devoid of humidity to get the spirit right for a decent beatdown. Shakedown and Flange have done some long term headlocking to get FNG Bumper (Evan Roberts, VMI ‘18) to join the Forge PAX today. He coaches Flange’s 2.0’s baseball team, and as an engineer ran the same circles with Shakedown 2 years ago. In his mid-20’s and well built, this young man is getting ready to run a 50 miler – so no surprise, he had no issues keeping up with the PAX today. He also reports enjoying training his bird dog – hence the nickname Bumper. Welcome BUMPER!  See ya’ll out there, DTH
