Nah, never felt totally at home on a 24", not saying I don't like them. I have this 20" set up pretty good, and I bet you'd haul on it, but only at nationals. tongue.gif The 20" IMO, is easier to ride, atleast at the barn. I don't care for the barn like I use too. To small, but it is a place to ride.

No, but I'm sure someone can find one. I found talking emotions on f1-live.com, stupid things freak me out.

So did you ever grace us with your presence? I bet you know Shawn Carmody? I use to run with him in expert class. He was always right there.

LOL, Nope, grew up and did all my early racing in AZ, and CA, never made any regular appearances anywhere much further east than OK. I did race once in Utica NY when I was 13. We were back visiting family on vaca and I brought my bike. The AZ thread is were I hang out. I just drop in here every 10 pages or so to rattle some cages. biggrin.gif

Are you guys gonna throw a party when you hit 100 pages?

Shawn, I think there is a few of us thinking about Rockford this year. Right now, I know Springer and I are planning on racing Friday night and maybe Saturday.

Headed to practice Friday night. Anyone else going?

Yes, like Kraker said Friday night pre-race for sure.

YES, unless we get totally snowed out. I know Apold has already bowed out, Belinda Jensen spooked him with her weather report. He said he is staying home with his footy pajamas and cuddling up with his baba and nook nook...

Yup, Joey still rides very well. He's been barn'n allot the past few weeks. I'm not sure his front wheel touches the ground the entire time on the track. Amazing. Rockford would be fun to race, looks like fun anyway. Maybe Brad "the time bomb" Apold will go. LOL!!!

Today (sad to say) you can call it Minne-snowta. F'n cheeze-arse weather. Its been in the 40-50's all week, 90% of the snow gone and now this!!! Doesn't matter, this time of the year we could melt 5" in one day with the sun now stronger.

I know it can be done in that short of time. I made it from the NW burbs of Minneapolis to Arlington Heights (NW Chicago burb) in 5hrs in a gas gussling RX-7 turbo. Stopped 3 times for gas. tongue.gif Hey, HP costs money.. wink.gif

Paul Springer
Waz up Cheez & PJR, welcome aboard.

I just discovered some exciting news:

"Paul is not planning on hanging up the bike at this time! He is looking forward to a slow but successful recovery and a return to the BMX track at some point!"

Looks like "currently" Tall Paul Cater is still in the game. So all you guys that were salivating at his kickin cruiser parts you can forgetta bout it...

Keep surfin that recliner Cater and get well soon brutha!

B. Apold
That's fantastic Tall Paul! I fell hard last Fall and it took awhile to get back on, granted my injuires weren't even close to yours, but it still hurt damn it tongue.gif

Get Well soon!
Paul Springer

That is hilarious, how did Boecker get those pillows in his Zubaz?


We had a fun night of racing last night. Brad did really well on his 20 inch racing the young bucks, he pulled out a 3rd. I had total point with Moe and a new 27 year old guy. I went 2-2-1 and Moe went 1-1-3 after bobbling over the triple and somehow I was able to pull off the win over Moe. It was a total fluke but I will take it, fortunately Moe stayed up and safe but could not recover to get back on the track. We had a good chuckle at the end of the race about it. Before moto #3 I was explaining to the new guy the likelyhood of the results based on the law of averages. At the end I told him there was one more unlikely possibility if Moe finished 3rd and I got 1st, Moe overheard my explanation and I could not have scripted it better, lol. Fun times!

Happy Easter everyone!

ya Pauli I had fun running against Lyndsey. I had a pretty cool 2nd place going into the first corner and got nudged and almost got sent over the berm (for real) so I nailed the brakes was in dead last and in concession corner I pulled an OS move, planting the foot down, then dove straight down into 3rd place with zero contact. Not sure how that worked but it did.

http://alltheracing.com/fun

Next thing you will be asking is for me to drive "up" and change your toilet paper roll because the wife is out of town...

If you are near Grand Ave, see if KOP can stop by....pickup Brrrrrad's "crank", change your TP roll AND post some dammmmnnn pics for you , then you can both split the KOP-SNUGGY cost
