As luck would have it, Bradley, I did in fact, used to ride an alligator in Florida, 
so there is no need for a photochop....
Here is the day I brought him home for my room-mate to see. (Of course I hadn't blown him up yet), but I surfed my gator all the way to shore many times....Fortunately, sharks don't eat alligators, so we were safe from sharks when riding my alligator.
The other item of note in this pic, is that we were too poor to pay the sewer and water bill, so we just punched a hole in the front step.
All in all, just another typical day in my life at college in Florida.
Just remember who you're messin' with there Bradley. I did ride alligators in Florida. I'm only boring now because I usually HAVE been there AND done that...And I always get even, and usually ahead.
So don't start with me man.....!

That's funny... And that's Brad Lee. First name Brad, middle name Lee... I know, what were my parents trying to prove... LOL!
From what I've been told, the gator thing at Treasure Island ( St. Pete's beach) is pretty non existant, but that doesn't mean its not possible or has never happend. Do they scare me? That's a big hell ya!!! snakes too.... Scary, but then so does driving in a snow/white out blizzard... We just can't win. One thing's forsure, no pools or ponds in my yard.
I heard Apold kicker some butt on his "Lunch Box" tonight AT the BARN
TC, you lived with the Hedgehog?

More like the "launch box". 20" bikes do have a mind of there own. Not sure if i kicked butt though, but I tried...
I had fun, but those 180's take some work and I couldn't pedal over certain jumps because I was afraid of hitting the pedal on it, so I lost some time....anyway, had a blast and I'll be back
Not sure how my daughter is going to like sharing a race bike. On the flip side it was good to see everyone again. Scotty B showed up even. I'll try to make it today, but its not looking to good.
Brad, you ruled it! It was so fun watching you show 20 group that you still had it. Great job out there. We had 5 in 41-45 cruiser class, they finished as follows:
Jeff Moe
Scott Kraker
Lance White
Paul Springer
Terry Dingman (dnq)
We'll hit it again today!

todays racing: Well, it was pretty good. 23 motos total. Team MC did real good (like usual), I think there was only 1 major crash (17x rider),
24" class: Moe first, Pauli 3rd or 4th?. Strahlo 1st, Rixen 2nd. blah blah.. Pauli can chime in, I don't watch most of the races.
there ya have it!!!
BA
LOL, Apold rocked it chasing Strehlo in 28 and over, I believe they had 6 in their class. Bradly finished second with his new sponsor Chico's Bail Bonds, I rolled when I heard the announcer say that.
We had 5 in 41-45 cruiser and they finished accordingly:
Jeff Moe
Lance White
Ty Nelson
Paul Springer
Terry Dingman (dnq)
In the main I had gate 7, Moe had 8 and I think Ty had 6. I bonked the gate and got sqeezed out of the first straight almost right away. I almost got Ty at the line humpin through the rhythm section. Fun times and a great day of racing! Daylight savings is kickin my butt, zzzzzzzzzzzz...

LMAO, I was going to look for that logo.. I'm going on the ebay to look for a jersey like that. You see, bmx must first be fun....
I was laughing so hard at Pauli's post I didn't comment on racing Strehlo.. I surely wasn't having my best day (leg lock ups), but even I was having a great day, there's no beating Nick. He's really good and he's 22yrs younger than me.. LOL!!! It was fun getting schooled.

When you stated "28 over class", you stumped me. ya, he's a great rider noooo doubt (for a punk)
, even if I had a great day, I'd still get smoked. Once I conquer the first step up, life will greatly improve (LMAO), but not enough to catch him.... (booohoooo)Isn't it wonderful that only Springer, KOP and myself have this thread all to ourselves. I F'n give up...
B A.... I think it may now stand for Bad Attitude...... LOL

You might be right. Its the cabin fever thing. I thought racing might help, but I'z is wrong.

What is going to help then? I'm not sure either for me.. I'm freaking going shopping today, just cause... I can't really afford to buy anything. I'm just going. How's that for the fever.
Looks like this week it officially will get warmer and stay. so, that is something for me... I need to start getting outside.... So, i'll atleast get the mountain bike out, and ride. Take out some snow piles and such...

Its better. mid 40's tomorrow. Once we get rid of this snow pack it'll be 15-20deg warmer just from that being gone. The snow we received back in Dec is still on the ground and its melted and froze so many times is just hard crust and that takes allot longer to melt that fresh stuff.
QUOTE (Heir Vendt @ Mar 10 2008, 03:55 PM)
I don't think we'll get that Spring storm this year. I usually happens though.. Fingers crossed.
I went to Scheels in Mankato today. They had quite the bike display.. Mostly street/freestyle bike. But I was surprised how great of a bike you can get these days under $300.00.. There was some even under $200.00.... Prices for bike have not went up in the last 20 years.
check out the pic I took...

Wow, that is pretty impressive for a department store. I am amazed by the complete bikes you can get for a reasonable price as well. I assume that it mostly because of it being made overseas.

I use to go into Sheels when I went to MSU (94-96), so ya I use to lurk and dream. The Trek full suspension bikes were cool. Lots of places to MTB in Kato... Try Gage hill on the side with all the trees. We had trails on the side of the SOB... F'n crazy riding I wouldn't even try now.
There are still trails all over in there. I still go in there once and awhile when I go to Kato to ride around. There is this one spot where it's like almost straight down. There are bike tracks going down this. You have to have all your breaks on to even attempt it. Even then I wouldn't go down this. Mankato is definitely a cool town. I wish I could live there. Seems for a good sized city, they have everything, without all the big city trouble....

I use to go down that hill your talking about. Right at the bottom of the Hill was Gage Road. I can't tell you how many times I tried to make it down without going over the bars. I finally was able to do it, but to date, its one of the toughest for me without a doubt.
I think we found a new addition to the All The Racing Freestyle Team. Check out the VIDEO!
Video doesn't work, but I am sure it's something witty. I'll give it a "LOL" in advance.
Sorry, He's too good for the ATR F/S team!

Miko, if you get a chance, it's really quite impressive. It's a 7yr old kid totally shredding a basement ramp set-up. At his pace, he'll be beyond awesome by 10.

Maybe a 42t sprocket and 175's would be a fantastic start accomplishing that, but even that isn't the answer.
Anyone going to the Supercross this weekend?
QUOTE (Jeff Manning @ Mar 13 2008, 04:47 PM)
Anyone going to the Supercross this weekend?
Thought about it. I have free passes every year (minus the last 4 yrs it hasn't been here). My friend Jeff Spencer drives a rig for the event. He hauls the Toyota display truck, motorcycles, scaffling, lights, etc. for the events and he can't wait until the season is over (LOL!).
He's a big SCCA guy out in SO.Cal, so I'm sure he's itch'n to get back. Also, our friend and racer Kyle Lewis (250cc) (which retired last year) would have been another great reason to go, but I think I may pass. Shooooot, I really forgot it was this weekend with all the F-1 season stuff starting this weekend too.... GO KIMI and Ferrari! I love the first F1 event of the year.
I'll be at the Supersross sat night. Should be a good time. I don't follow Supercross too closely, but some friends & I always went when it was in town. Nice to have it back.
Friday night practice is on my list of possibilities. I may show up.

Reed's having a good year, only because Stewart is injured. Reed has good starts and can't last the race. Stewart blows him away.. Stewarts and idiot/ego head. I miss McGrath... Cool guy, I've drank a few beers with him back in the 90's..

Mark,
Cousin Kenny knows all those Moto-x guys living in Cali all these years- Emig, Kadrovski, Button, McG, Kyle Lewis, etc. Kyle Lewis and Kenny are best of friends. I think Bob Hannah lives or lived in the same town Kenny lives now. Total Desert-ville and a moto guys paradise. Haaa, even Bubba Harris lives in Lancaster. Its a big moto town. Stomp'n Stu lives there too, and is (of course) a Sheriff in that county.

Hayfield if my mind recalls correctly...

I sure hope you don't mean "ran into" like that one deer did!
