Well thats the problem with america today no one offers apprentice program/ s or is willing to teach the younger crowd how to do anything. Im pretty sure that if there was someone learning the ART of LONGFEILD it would still be that.Well its in the past. Hopefully the product will remain the best  :turtlehead:

Thank you!

All I can say is how disappointed I am in MC for not stepping up to help out Tina. She did say, "promised to run... for one year".... :(

I just hope someone keeps up on their Cryo department.

The axles are all made by RCV, quality isn't going to change....

Edit; sure they could now, but I'm pretty positive they are going to keep the things that set apart the longfields, like the materials used, along with using the name

Well that sounds like a downhill trend from the start, now you won't know what product you are actually getting, Longfields or Trail-Gear.
