I think thats me #10 with some other Canadains in that pic from Cool Tool. That track was beeeeuuuttteee

Ok. I have to say my sweats were kind of high, but I grew from like 6 inches in one summer. I really was a fashion model trying the new zeronine capris.
I did use to rock the high tops. Ask Whitey about the time I smoked his friend like 100 times on my cycle craft from lane 8 at southtowns in a pair of nike air force ones with the strap.
Whitey who was that dude who played in the journey cover band at the bug jar??
A...N...D...Y...L...E...E

All right, i have to jump in here. I never raced EBA, but Raced Cool Tool's Nationals a few times. I will post some pictures of the CW freestyle team with Diz Hicks and Ceapie Mayes soon. The Siloways always new how to hold an awesome race. Bands, Freestyle shows, A killer Pro shop, Swimming lake, pletny of camping. I remember the first year they had the event, Jim Silloweay wanted a national in New York, but we didnt have any good tracks that could hold a big event. So Jim went over the state commisioner, Bill Zinzar's, head and went straight to the NBL and Bob Tedesco, and told them if they gave him a National, he would build a world class facility, and he came through. Nice, smooth, long track, and every team was there for those races. Godd times. Hey Ken Amen, Whitey, Mike Crehan, Russ and Ed. How are you guys? Email me back when you get a chance.
Dennis

Hey boys.

Mike, that's Dennis Neubouer.(sp)

Dennis, I'm sitting indoors watching it snow!
There goes another snow grader!
I have a few race bikes sitting around that I'm working on, and restoring, but that's about it right now.
I've gotta get some work done on my Road Runner, too.

Hope you're doing well. It's probably sunny, and 65 where you're at, eh?

Iceman

snow?
ahhhh man..it should be about 68....75 today..it's gonna be hot out at the trails...hahaha...dj just put his head down on his desk thinking about walking home in the snow..thru highland park..in the snow...in airforce 1's....in the snow.

Iceman...i remember a iceman..i recall you were also blazing fast giving someone else in here headaches..HAHA!

i found a interview of kenny a. in a old super bmx or bicycles and dirt....i'll scan and post up...

hawlla.

Iceman!!
You're underestimating the temp here in Florida! It's currently 74 here in Jacksonville, and 79 down where Dennis is.
I think I'll go out back and do some starts on my Pro Gate for a bit. I'll be thinking of ya Russ!!
LOL!
-Ed Ferri
ps.. and it's "Dennis Neubauer". New York semi-legend from the 80's...lol.... and some more lol..

some stuff we all have...remember that erie county 'north american challenge'? the main had 4 usa and 4 canada riders...theres my medal,i remember it started POURING and got all dark as hell when my main came around..i'm gonna ice this out and rock it to the EBA reunion..pre-trophy(?) cooltool ribbon...what was the deal with these,i dont remember why no trophy,was it our choice? anyways...

ok,my bad if i'm wrong,but i think this is Kenny "A-PRO" Aman (on the 1 bike)....i dont know why my dad would've taken this,unless it was Ken....correct me if i'm wrong please ken..there was a hawaiian blue max dude too...jason something..murray world cup..he had a TINY bit more steez than me over these dubs..hahah.

ok...i dont even know where to start with this....nbl natty..ohio? ok,let me rob whitey's previous posting style about Sweaty-McSweatpant

The 'BUTTER-STYLES' checklist:

-2 tone jeans from marketplace mall

-neon green oakley grips that didnt match a thing on your bike.

-a kmart helmet because you left yours on top of the car in Ft.Wayne the day before(most likely on top of the leathers you left up there too)..yes,as we were leaving,echo visor and a large zeronine sticker holding it up bought from track vendor on your way to your practice runs..

-black and neon vans,again,not matching a thing.

-a cyclecraft jersey,in EXTRA MEDIUM of course

-last but not least,your brake lever posted dumb high like greg grubbs,by your dad,so you wont hit your brakes in corners...



%$%$#ING SMOOTH....

All right, Mike Crehan- hey. Dennis Neubauer. My Bro Al and I used to race in CT in the 80's when you did too. You are a few years younger then me, but always faster. I would always try to keep up with you in practice then. As for the pic of the murray world cup, Yes that is Ken Amen, after he dominated 18 and over ex and 18-24 cruiser and got two national number one plates. 1986. One of the strongest and fastest riders to come out of New York back then. And as for it being in the 60's? NO WAY!! its in the 80's down here. Our track is racing tonight. we will have maybe 20 motos. As for you guys starting a track in Alaska? Russ, this is awesome. i may just have to buy a coat and fly up there to visit. I'll try to get Ed to go. I may even put my Skyway Graphites back on, if i can get a set of brake pads. (hint hint, Ed). MAN, it is so nice to hear from you all again. And Jud, sorry i didnt include you before. It was alway a chalenge keeping up with you, on ANY track.
Dennis

OK,this was gonna come to light sooner or later.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA in advance.

was this erie? amherst??

WHAT THE????????

OMG..OMG...OMG.....can't breathe.........ha ha ha ha ha ha ah.

See DJ & I were way ahead of ourselves. While he was trying to bring back capris, I was setting a trend on jeans. Citizen jeans, Seven jeans, Lucky jeans, that's all because of me. DJ not only brought back the capris but also stirrup pants. Too bad we didn't trademark any of this stuff........

ha ha ha ha ha..........Nike Air force ones.........ha ha ha.

Its true. My friend Jeff comes back from practicing at Southtown BMX talking about this kid riding a Cyclecraft killing everyone from gate 8. Asks me if I know him. "He was riding a Cyclecraft, Nike high tops, and rode every lap from #8." Through tears and laughter I tell him I know who it is and he ain't no kid. "Does he race nationals?" Nope, now he just goes to practice. NBL National #4 17 expert getting worked by David James......high tops and all!

hahahahahahahahahahaha.............

Hey Dennis, Good to see you are doing well. Congrats on the national wins lately, keep up the good work. By the way I like when you rock the tuff wheels, bike looks sweeeeeet!
We had some great battles on the NBL national circuit and the State races. Those were some good times. I would say that you were definately a New York legend. Make sure you keep Ed out of trouble.
Good luck this year!!!!!!!!!

Dude that pic of Dave in the Parka is killing me!! I was driving up 95 this afternoon and almost drove off the highway laughing. Seriously, I was CRYING I was laughing so hard. I pulled up to pay the stupid $1.25 toll at New Rochelle and the girl asks me if I'm okay. I couldn't stop laughing..........

GATORS?? I used to race with a wing thing. What the heck does a stupid wing on your arm have to do with anything?? What am I gonna fly?? Aww man the stuff we used to think was cool.........

Hey DJ are we gonna hit up Paradise Alley when I come home?? I hear that Journey cover band is in town..........

hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahh

...oh no you didnt photoshop a mulla-beard on me with a McDonalds drive thru microphone...no you didnt.

SHAAAAAZAM BEEEYATCH!!!!!!!!!!
HAHA!
i sit here in tears man,then dave calls and i cant stop talking junk..whitey is driving into ditches...ok who else has flicks,you nerds need to step up.
i'm comin to see you guys play,paradise and then eastview mall right?
Lets put out a A.P.B. on huggybear...if mike g. from canada found this,you know hug's is a mouse click away..

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahhahahhahhaahhahahahhaahahaha
h
hahahahahhahahahahh ahahahahahahahahhahahahahhah............

yeah,i remember...you did grow like a foot a month that year...i remember you could scratch your knee with your chin standing up....

WWWHHHAAAAATTTTTT?????



LMAO.............

[ December 19, 2006, 10:50 PM: Message edited by: whitey ]

this is sooo freakin' funny!!!!
-Ed

Hey is this the helmet you got from K-mart???

You guys are killing me! Heheh!!
Whitey, I like the hair!

BTW, you guys are also killing me with those temps...70, 80 jeez!!
Most everyone has moved south, or west.
I guess I'm the only idiot that decided to move north....WAY north. What was I thinking?

I sure would welcome the chance to race in the winter again. (Indoors in my case, ofcourse).

Dennis and Ed, it would be awesome to see you guys up here, but I'd probably enjoy it more if I were down there, ya know. Besides, what would you do with a coat when you get back home?

'Starts in the pro gate'. MAN!

'Hot out at the trails'. Jeez!

Rub it in guys!

Well, I better go feed the dogs, we have a long cold trip to work in the morning.

Iceman

Iceman-

What up?? That might actually be my real hair from back in the day......

How is it in the frozen tundra?? How cold is it getting now? You guys are going into the long nights now right.

It was only 55 in the big apple today, but the tourists and the hotties were out in full force. I love NYC.

Dig up some pictures if you have any. I might have some of us racing against each other BITD. I'll post 'em if I find any.

Hey Ed, Skyway jerseys before x-mas??

Later.......

Whitey,

I get to work about 8:30, and it's still dark until about 10:00 or so. I head home at about 5:30, and it's been dark for maybe a couple of hours already. We're still losing a little bit, but I'll still see about 5 hrs or so of light. It can get depressing.

We had quite a long cold spell, but it finally broke. It really wasn't that cold tho... around 0 for almost 2 months. We're in the teens now, and we'll see about 4-6 inches of snow tomorrow.

It did reach 40's for a couple of days last week.
I was walking around in a T-shirt....what a concept!

I miss the hotties, and skin! They do hang at the bars, tho.

I really don't have many pics, and the ones I have aren't any good.
That's another reason why I hang here. You boys hook me up with good shots, and stories.

Later bro.

Iceman

Yikes.....5 hours of light. I would sleep like 19 hours a day. Actually, after seeing everyone bundled up all day when you see the girls without their coats.......WOW! Big diff. Down here everyone is half dressed so it gets old after awhile.

I'll look for pics of you when I go home for x-mas.
Good to hear from you again. Keep in touch and enjoy the madness.

Later,
Whitey

Heheh! Yeah, my wife has a habit of sleeping long hours! I have to be the responsible one around here!!

I just dug up a few pics, but I'm puter illiterate, so I'll get the wife to post em up when she wakes up! (J/K) Soon enough, tho.

Iceman

Boy, it sounds like I quit racing in this area a little too early: seems I missed a lot!
Can't remember if I posted this one yet:

And speakin' of Rog:

Hey Whitey
Hot Shoppe won't have the jerseys done for almost another month. Sorry man!
Iceman..... GEEZ!!! That's some cold weather!!!!!

Whitey, Thanks for the Props, on being a New York Legend, but you were right there, too. Russ, You would have been there too, if you didnt leave. You Al and I ALWAYS battled for the lead. I have seen Stephen Gerardi a few times lately, and his Mom Marie, also. Steve lives on the west coast of Florida, and is going fast in the 35+ class. I'll post a couple pics soon.

Dennis,
Thanks for the kind words. I didn't follow BMX too closely after I got out of it at the end of 1986, but I was aware that you and Whitey were tearing up the National scene. I owe you an apology Dennis, I was in Morristown over Thanksgiving and had no idea that was you announcing until just after your semi on Sunday. I heard your name announced while you were winning your semi, then I thought, that is the same guy that has been announcing all weekend. I heard you say you had lane 4 in the main, so I went over to the motosheets to see if it was you. You were flying dude!!!! (and did a great job announcing) Any chance you will be going to the Christmas Classic?

I found this old ad in Super Bmx..i ripped it a little when i tore it out...sorry guys!

...eyes on the road whitey......

OH MY GOD!! I am laughing so hard I can't even see the key board. Good thing I didn't see this while I was driving I would have crashed the van...........

"velcro kit for high socks" hahahahhahahahah

"action race color selection" hahahahaha

dude your killin' me...............
master of photoshop......unbelievable!

Tim, you may have actually quit riding at the right time. See what abuse the rest of us take. If we were all sitting around talking about this stuff we would be rollin' around laughing.

OMG my stomache hurts...........

I got to post some pics of Dennis. We must have some of Tim & Ken at the house. NO ONE IS SAFE.

Tim, I wish you had a chance to ride the Pines bitd. That's a nice big one hander over a small jump (across the street from my parents right?), imagine a big 30' set of doubles.............

I'm out............Big Jeff........I mean Whitey.

I see myself and many others I knew in many of these pic's, keep up the posts.

super bmx 1982
samme issue the HIGH-RIDERS ad was in..

mwaaaa hahaha!
This is such a great thread!!!!

Ken A,
I only met you a couple of times, so I'm sure you don't remember me, but I have to agree with Dennis. You were fun to watch, and you were a nice guy, too. A great role model for the other racers.
I remember when my little bro came down for a bit to visit, and we were at a national at Whip City MA, you signed his plate for him. You were real cool to him....thanx for that.

Iceman

Dennis,
I found a cool pic of us with Al going at it, but I don't know if it'll show up well.
I also have a shot of Stephen.
I'll get em up soon. Sorry for the delay.

Iceman

Mr. Lee,
I always wanted to steal your JMC...

This shot has me, Dennis on the outside, his brother Al, and 99c would be Mark Chase. I can't remember the others off hand.

Both of these shots are at Tri-City.



This is me chasing Stephen G



Iceman

This is at MA indoors winter 85/86, with me in the air followed by Al. That's NJ 1 next to me, but I never knew his name. Maybe someone here does.



Iceman

Iceman, Those pictures are SO cool. The tri-city pic must have been from a qualifier, and Gerardi is the same size now as he was then. The one of You and Al is from Mass. Those triples were so much fun. you had to pick up for the first one, and then jump the second and third jumps. We always had some good 17 and over races there. People from all over the northeast. I remember one local there we had 80 motos, and our class had semi's. Ken, I remember riding with you, Ken Pascoe, my brother Al and Charlie Goodrich. We used to have sprint races at the practice tracks. Ken, HOLY COW, i didnt know you were there. I will not be in Ohio, sorry. Money is tight this year. Are you going to come to Florida for the easter races? We have to get together then.

bmx271-4553
you loved that bike,i just loved it more....hater.
you know whats funny,i sold that jmc at the grands,and don't it show up on ebay for 3k..Jim Melton has the family tree of each jmc sold..its almost insane.
what were you riding then?..now that i think about it,weren't you also a HIGH-RIDER sponsored champion?
i'd love to rebuild that bike,supercross made JMC cruiser replicas a few years ago,and i actually got one,soo we'll see.... cats are SMOKED OUT with these prices,and since whitey took all our old stuff,i know he has a 2 car garage full...whitey,you need to sell it all back,at a reasonable profit....dave james' Panda? i'd bid...or maybe the arm wings..action race color selection..your journey collection...Honeys jerseys...i know u have....youth medium zeronine pants
