I see.

I did see that today's legend was different to tomorrow's one, but I didn't realise they were for two different offenses! This doesn't sound good to me. In fact, this doesn't sound good at all

**update**

Scot's court appearance was postponed.

Hi Everyone,

I have had the longest day of my life sitting in court waiting for him to be called with no luck. It was held off until tomorrow. There was six cases that was pulled over and Scots was one of them. I am so very upset! I hate not knowing for at least what ever the out come is at least at that point it's something to deal with. I am waiting for him to call me for they are taking him back to West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga. If anyone wants to write him heres how to address it

Scot Breithaupt - 0604342280
7-A-42
9500 N. Etiwanda
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739

I need a spa day!

I'm sorry everyone I wish I had some good news! but I noticed the judge was a lot nicer in the morning so maybe that was a good thing for he would have been one of the last to be heard!

I will let you know tomorrow.

Take care and I'm sorry again,

Scot & Jamie

Hi Everyone,

I just spoke to Scot and he is going to court tomorrow and wil be postponing his hearing for another date. He has finaly met with his atterny and I can not make his court date tomorrow for I have new employees that are coming in for training. I will fed-EX all your letters to Scots and his attorney. I will let you know the new date tomorrow after Scot calls me. He is just so Thankful for all your support and is exhausted being handcuffed for over 16 hours. The thought of him like that makes me sick to my stomach!

He wanted me to tell everyone that he loves you all! and he owes you his life!

Scot & Jamie

Hang in there.

this sucks...i wish we could have been of help to him before it got to this point...

I just saw this thread today, and now I feel bad for not paying better attention. I spent the last hour reading through it all. I'd be lying if I said I did'nt wipe a tear or two before I was done.
I happened to meet Scot kind of by accident at Rockford last year. He pulled up w/ a trunkload of drink in his car, and all I saw at that point was a guy w/ alot of unloading ahead of him, so I pitched in for a minute. As I and my friend Mike helped out, Mike says to me "you know who this is, right?" I had to admit I did'nt. So he tells me "this is the OM, dude" and introduced us. I looked at his face again and it clicked. Scot struck me as a totally friendly down-to-earth guy who truly deserves to be looked up to for what he has accomplished for this sport we all love.
That said, let me say that I am chiming in as another VBMX'er who is no stranger to illegal drug use. I have three friends from my high school days who are dead in their late thirties as a result of heroin addiction. Lucky for me my personality is such that my addictive periods do not last more than a week, then I "sort things out". And these periods occur less and less as I get older. Guess I'm "outgrowing" it. But I know from firsthand experience what Scot is going through now, and I want to support him however I can, regardless of the actual circumstance behind his incarceration.
And I've been in jail on a couple of occaisons, so I know firsthand what a joke they are. When you are in jail, you are not thinking about rehabilitating yourself. You are in survival mode, plain and simple, because in jail the strong prey upon the weak.
A note for Jamie - you are a good girl for not giving up on the OM. Alot of women would just turn their backs and walk away. Scot is lucky to have you on his side.
A note for Scot - you probably don't remember me, (I helped you unload your car of that sports drink at the Rock last year right as you pulled in) but my impression of you was "one of the guys" as we say in these parts, meaning that I think we would be good friends if we got to know each other. I feel like you are strong enough to put this behind you, and I will be praying that you can. When things get tough and the monkey is feeling extra-heavy, think about how you pretty much singlehandedly took a kid's fad and turned it into an real honest-to-god sport that is now an olympic event. If you did not exist, BMX would not be the same. That goes for then as well as today, dude. Get it together, man, I know you can do it!!
For the judge -
Your Honor - I'm sure you know at this point in time the history of the man in question. Despite what you may think of him and the direction his life has taken, I just want to re-iterate that Scot Briethaupt has pointed so many other kids down the right path, and touched many lives in a totally positive way. He is a good guy at heart. Please don't send him to jail where he will have to concentrate on pure survival and be constantly surrounded by negative influences. Please help him get to rehab instead, so he can learn to live in a more positive way. Thank you.

Cool story mike ...please keep us posted Jamie...Rob

Dear Mike,

Thank you for writting a wonderful letter. Scot sends his love and appreciates what everyone is doing to help. He told me to tell you his does remember you!!!! Thank you again for you kind words.

Scot & Jamie

P.S. I'm lucky to have him too!!! He support me more then you can ever imagine!

I need to get 3 copies of "Joe Kid on a sting Ray" I would like to forward them on to the Judge, DA, and Scots Lawyer. Does anyone know where I can get them?

I havent heard from Scot yet but will let you know when his court date is when he calls

Thanks,

Jamie

Jamie, The fastest way to get them is to order them through www.flatlandfuel.com - they are the fastest shippers I have ever dealt with...

Bob

Thank you Bob!

Jamie

Jamie, hang in there dear lady. you are truly a beautiful person for being by Scot's side. I can't believe alot of the people on this board and where they stand. Besides isn't this hobby an addiction? Either way, I am no one to judge. If it's not to late, I would like to write a letter, as well as donate those dvd's to you. I have never met you or Scot, but I can't imagine what you both are going through, and have gone through. Hang in there. I agree that this may be a good thing for Scot, but Jail is no place to treat addiction, trust me, sometimes it is, but rehab is better, because it addresses addiction. In fact, I have studied addiction, and the only way to treat addiction is 9-18 months of professional drug rehab this allows the brain to recoup chemicals lost during using. Also, it is very important that rehab is followed up by a successful 9 month - 1 year out patient program. If Scot truly wants to stop, there is a way, and it is worth it. Addiction is very common in the US and please do not feel alone. Stand by Scot, and send him my support.

email me your address and I will send you the dvd's, as well as a professionaly written letter, next day air, no prob.

Take care of yourself dear lady.

I will email you my address and call you tonight. THANK YOU. Please allow me to pay for them and I appreciate your help!

Scot & Jamie

Neale,

Thank you. I will call you tonight.

Jamie

Neale,

Thank you. I will call you tonight.

Jamie

From Scot to everyone,

Hey family miss you all. Would love to see letters and pitures. They are playing hard ball with me. Keep praying for re-had. I truley want help and I won't let you down. This is the first time I have gone public with my life and I appriecate everyone of you for believing in me and my family.

See ya,

Scot

I just got off the phone with Scot and he wanted me to send a message to you.

Jamie

Tell Scot to go to NA Meetings they are free and will work if you work the program. you meet a good group of people there too.

I hope the best for you Scot, and my prayers are with you. Bet you did`nt know I used to be an alter boy , did you. 2 yrs, private all boys Catholic school.(well...that explains it!). Hope you catch a break. Stick with it when it comes... Best of luck to you bro. I know you`ll come through, you always did...

Jamie:

Please tell Scot that Scott Freeman sends his very best and I wish him well beyond words and description. I dont know if you recall but you and I met in Park City, UT at the original screening of Joe Kid at X-Dance. Scot and I go back almost 20 years....I'm at a true loss for words but I am confident that you and Scot will get through this. I'm pulling for him 110%.

Love,
Freeman

After losing friends to drugs in more ways than one and almost myself(now over 9 yrs straight). Kids please don't do drugs, what starts out as a good time, escape from life's pain only turns into the worst of times and more pain than you started with. Learn other ways to deal with life's curve balls Drugs will kill you, your family or your friends one way or the other. Take a good look at your best friend as if he was dead, that's the feeling drugs will eventually bring to your life. That's what it brought me and there's not a day that goes by that I don't wish he was still here. I don't believe you just lock someone up for a user offence not once twice or three times(it's a sickness), even if it is the law. Drug users need true help, not just a cell waiting for the next go around. Wishing you the best Scot, may you once again find the OM.

Any news???

Ive dealt with addicts my whole life. We all find God on our deathbed dont we, but in times of well being seem to forget. Hopefully Scott doesnt forget. I think two things come to mind, 1, wheres Stu Thompson, I would assume a CHP officers words would do wonders, and more importantly, Scott is a salesman and a genius, whom better to show clips of the movie while talking to youths around the country at assemblies? He can sell bmx, relive the past, remind himself of the future, and maybe save a child or two. Good luck Scott.

I just found out my bosses 18 year old nephew died of a drug overdose last Tuesday. I never met the guy but I have seen first hand how devistating it was to my boss and his family. I hope Scott can pull through this and turn his life around. I have never met Scott in person although I did see him last year at Gonzo'z BBQ. If he can help spread the message to just one kid it would be worth it.

Dear Scott Freeman,

I will tell Scot you said HI and thank you for your support as well as everyone!!! Scot sends his love!

Scot's new court date is the 15th of this month at 8:30 in Victorville. If anyone can make it would send a strong message to the court.


Scot informed me that someone from this site mailed him a letter informing him that people were trying to picked up on me and so on... I have to say that I am very upset at this. I would appreciate that if your going to write him that you stay positive and inspire him. I would also like to add that this was a very cruel thing to do do both of us. We are going through a very tough time and the love we share for each other is what is holding this together and that anyone would start a rumor and to upset us both is not being a friend. I post his address for everyone to help support Scot so let stay focused! My message to the person who did this Please do not write or contact him again. You have no idea what that did to him and I! Scot knows that I love him and that I would NEVER stray from being US!

Maybe you need to find something else to do then try to hurt two people in love. I am holding back what I really want to say to you because I am on a public site. I pray Scot or I NEVER meet you!


For Everyone else thank you for everything!!!!!!!!! Scot and I are getting a lawyer to help instead of a court appointed one. He now has been through 4 different attorney's and none of them care enough to take the time to represent him well.

Take care and Scot would love to have letters or pictures from you.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Scot & Jamie

Dear Victor and Neale,

I need to say "Thank you" for helping me get the movies of Joe Kid on a Sting Ray! No one could have offered me all the money in the world in place of all the letters and the movies for this will bring him closer to being clean and free of his additction and to be a family again!

I know it's alot to ask Victor and Neale but Scot would love to see you. If you want to visit you email me and I can give you the number to call and schedule a day & time to visit.

There is not enough words Scot or I could say to say how much we Thank you all.

Scot, Jamie, Scot Jr, Brandon, Andrew, Jon Jon, and Breanna "The BreithauptS"

Man, this "situation" thickens with every post.
First off, there has been no reponse as to why SB was incarcerated this time, then all the crap in the middle and now a letter was sent talking smack.
Post who it was that sent the letter to give some validity to this.

Yeah, ya know, this is one time that we should know who the creep is that sent that letter, that was a [I tried to curse] thing to do and I hope the guy who did this gets his karma crushed.

Hi Jamie
I just saw this post.....
I met you and Scot at Jerry's BBQ last July here in Florida. This news is sad to hear, and I wish you and Scot much luck going through this. I'm sure it's not easy, and my thoughts and prayers are with you guys. I look up to Scot, and have since I was a little kid.
Please let me know if I can do anything that would help..... Please pass along my greetings to him, and let him know that he continues to have many friends that care about him!
-Ed Ferri

Jami, you Scot and the rest of yours are in my prayers.
My favorite of my collection, and I got it from the OM as a thank you gift BITD

I don't know if this letter comes too late or not but here goes:

Scot,

I have never met you in person but I have always admired what you have done for BMX. I have been a loyal rider of SE frames, most specifically P.K. Rippers since 1985. I think they're the best BMX frame ever made. I recently acquired a P.K. Ripper frameset that I have been building up and I still marvel at what you created. I hope that you beat your addiction so yet another generation of riders can appreciate the many innovations that you have created. Walking into a bike shop these days and seeing 80% of the BMX bikes using your designs has to be a good feeling. You have prehaps the most brilliant and creative mind in the entire history of BMX. To put things in perspective...an entire sport exists today because of what you did, and for that I have to say THANKS!!!

I only wish you the best,

Brian Laukaitis aka ripper

First off, I did state why he was incarcerated! Under the influence of drugs.

Scot does not want me to post the person who said it! That isnt the point we will handle it personally. The point I was making was do not send letters that will not help keep his spirits up!

Is the point who it was? or that it was sent?

Jamie
As a regular member here, I have to say that i am embarrassed that another member here would do such a thing. For the most part, I believe that the guys here are good hearted and respect one another. Of course, there is always "one of those" in every family, and I think you and Scot found ours. For that, let me be the first to apologize as a collective voice of many of the guys here. Scot is a founder of our sport, and deserves our mutual respect.
