I think an actual 36 and over intermidiate 20" class is a hit or miss for the most part, but I would guess they'd group you accordingly. Paul or Mark could probably give a better answer than I..

Check out that TV in the background.... we had one just like it... state of the art.

Yeah I think once in a while they get a class of a few old dudes. The following guys ride 20 inch ocassionally:

Jeff Moe
Terry Dingman
Bill Nelson

Come on up to ride, you may get a class (?)

After riding Ted's 20" NS sting, I would rather race 20" 36 over than 24". I'd get killed, but that bike felt just like my 24". I have yet to feel that comfortable on a 20" on the new tracks. Incredible handling!

That TV was a state of the art Gold Star. Believe it or not, that was the first color TV we owned, my Mom bought it that year I think. We were never rich & blk & white TV's were just the norm growing up.
That Goose was too small for me, I was probebly 5'3ish in that shot then in my senior year I grew to 5'7".

Anyone going to the Barn for practice Friday night? I'm going and I believe Springer is too. See you there.
Gary Walton
Who's showing up Saturday? The woodwork has to be rumbling a little bit with the big weekend approaching.
Paul Springer
Sorry, I am out for practice. It is the wifes birthday and she wants to go out for dinner.

(insert wise apple comment from KOP here) biggrin.gif

I may only be riding on Sunday this weekend.

GARY WALTON: I sent you a PM the other day regarding Action Graphics winning the Team Trophy at the Sooner National.
Gary Walton
Thanks,Paul. I never check PMs. I thought I would get an alert or something. We got it all straightened out though.

Another great oppurtunity for a helmet... That jumper looks familiar (?)

B. Apold
He's so dead ^^^. It hurts to look.

I scored on a 44t Sugino sprocket, spider, Takagi cromo cranks and real suntour pedals. Yeeee!

Sorry I've been kind of busy, I talked with Bill Ford today at a Basketball tourney, our sons play against each other.

Anyone racing today or just talkin about it. Rusco "Long Story Short" Newcomb is on his way down from Cloud town and we are going racing, anyone else.

English Beat/General Public/Special Beat show rocked hard last night at the Cabooze. Brian Setzer was there dressed to the nines with his wife supporting the 80's sounds, that cat is way cool. Fun times bringing back the early college days.

How was the Faction gathering? Are the trivia questions going to be posted up including the winner?

GT Co-Sponsorship, if I remember the story correctly it was short lived because they desolved the Co Team in order to afford Greg "U Lose" Hill's salary.

That's pretty much the story... Actually Shawn Sheely and myself were on the GT Factory "B" team and like Paul said it lasted about 2 months and were given the foot.... then about 2 months after that I got the "Factory Support" GT deal, which really anyone could get if your bike shop would back you..

So for me, Rydjor was the bike shop that ultimatley got the GT thing rolling for me... We tried CYC and they weren't interested in anyone bu Ronnie Ames and some other older guy, but don't recall the name...

Cal and DC, what can an old schooler say to that!

This is what Minnesota "BMX Racing" is and should be all about... Fun, family and doing nothing but paving the way for others to understand as being "Just a great part of life"

Great job Cal!
