Oh I'll just go get them, Cheese 'n' Rice! I just don't want to miss out on them. There for my Ultrabox and I really need them. Truvativ's aren't cheap and these are.

KOP, if you can drive up here to pick up bike parts you can race too.

No thanks

Thanks



If you need a set of Truvatives, I have a sweet set or rolours for $450 and you get the rest of the SX cruiser with them

No, these were about 90% less than that. Just going from 180's to 175's. If you have a 144 bcd campy 41-43t chainring, I'd be interested though. And don't tell me you have an NOS, there's no such thing

No,...No........we have no Campagnolo chain gear, but we do have a wonderful basalmic viagrette with mushrooms and artichoke hearts over Angel hair Pasta. We only use NOS mushrooms, but the artichoke hearts are mint installed but not used (in best fake Italian accent)

Hey from Texas. I'm afraid you guys (ya'll in Texan) forgot about me. I actually won a race last Saturday. Riding 20" now in the rookie novice class. Only 3 guys in the race but I was the old man at 44. The others were 28 and 38. I showed them!

By the way, and I am showing off here, when I'm not riding my bmx bike I'm riding my big boy bike. It's my new 2008 GL1800 Gold Wing.
Viktor's Gold Wing (about 2 MB)

That's all I've got. I hope everyone is warming up in Minnesota. It's only in the mid to upper 70's down here.

Later.

Nice ride Viktor, and way to show those "younger" old guys how it's done

Hey Victor-y, Maybe that what's we need to call you now. Good job on the 20". I too have made the switch to 20" only I haven't won yet (LOL), in fact not even close. Its hard running against 19-20 experts and Jayson Lyndsey. Sure is fun though. You running up here for the Isanti National in July?




I love that shot! Lets see the picnic table shot. haaahaaa

Way to go Vik.

Don't mention the weather around Brad. I think he's going crazy with all the snow we still have. Looks like a couple more storms this week too.

Not the NW metro.... a dusting only for us (55376). Burnsville and south 2-4"

I only have snow on the North side of the house. I could mow the lawn on the other sides. Yeah!!!! I even bought the Spring Scott's blend hoping I can through it down soooooooon!

Remember the Faction 24th ride last Spring? It was warm out, no snow, and look at this garbage weather we have this year.

MC Freestyle Team !!!

Is there any way I could get on the freestyle team? I think I could hang with those guys. Do I need to learn certain tricks or ride a certain area?
Any skills needed?

You'd fit right in Jerry. Got any plaid pants?

Off the topic a bit. I bought a pair of vans with a light blue/white stretched check pattern. Pretty cool. I also ordered the Kubuki tribute prints.

Trivia: what was the other company that made van's like skateboard shoes??

- Awesome (didn't Jim VanDoren own Awesome?)
- Keds
- Dyno
- Vision
- Airwalk
- Etc
-
I think all of these companies had a variant of the classic lace up Vans...

Faction Ride this weekend kids... rolling with Snakebite.

Your right, but not the brand I was thinking of. Kool was the brand.

3-6" more this weekend

I know Dyno made shoes that were the same as Vans. I can't believe I always rode with Vans, especially with freestyle. With those little pegs my feet would just fold over them. I remember the shoes being worn out where the peg was used on the bottom..

Vans sucked for freestyle.. Why didn't I create a biking shoe? I wasn't thinking again.

Not here. The snow we were sppose to get today (so. metro) was pushed out by dry air..... Friday great, Sat 45F with strong winds and rain late afternoon and Sunday 45F with rain/clouds. I see no snow in the 10 day vs temps were suppose to have. We need a good rain

Vans worked alright for bmx'n. I bought some converse (for school) and found that they worked way better than vans. The vans did get floppy and that slimmy finish on a new set of vans was a death sentence if you weren't careful. Once you got vans wet they were done for. The big toe was always the first thing to wear out.

Tom McCan Jox Jag shoes (?)

We got 8 inches of the fresh stuff here in Winter Park and it rocks BIGTIME. Sno surfing is awesome. Apold would be wimperin

Damn straight! If it wasn't Frig'n April I wouldn't complain so much, but this is rediculious.

Paul, will you be back to race this weekend? I'd guess not. I'm going to the barn Friday night with Hannah, so I'll be watching. I found cranks, should have them tomorrow w/ 42t sprocket. Should make a big difference.

Driving back straight tomorrow won't be home till late.

From da crackberry.

Brad "Paul Douglas" Apold!!!! Make sure you use your "doppler"...

Hahahahahahahha Yankin' your chain Apold!

Vans rocked and still do!!! (Snowboard boots are alright too!) ((Hate you Springer! hahahah))
I do like my "Bitter & Twisted" though.

BRADLY - Since you are going to the Barn, can you pickup my C-YAA? and I can come and pick it up from your house? Huh_Huh Can YA???

Keep'n it real.. I can't find Brock's, but I bought the Shark prints..





I will pick it up providing I remember the key for the stall. I'll call ya.

Email From Brad:
Mark, I'll pick up the bike only if I can get a back rub for doing it

Hugs-N-Kisses,
BA

Ummmmm.....NO!

Not to worry, Mark's just being Mark again.

Hey Mark, I am in the market for some bike parts. You do want the C-Yaa Cruiser bike back as a whole, right? LOL!

Hey to each his own............just don't hit on me......









Sorry I just could let that one pass,..........................nice set up Mark

Your suppose to say, "I don't care how you like your eggs". ..... and don't worry I won't.

Oops, pardon my not-so politically correct faux pa.

That's a relief



You guys have more ABA tracks than Arizona, how did that happen? Way to go! Fergus Fall sounds like a happinin place.

And you guys still want to drive to Rockford?

There are allot of tracks here. I'm going to race a little bit this Summer. Isanti is hosting its first National, so that should be pretty fun. I can't go to Rockford (sorry Pauli), I'll be in Florida.... again!

Your pardoned, now can we move on? LOL!

Eric Rupe races Rockford every year. There is always some old school pro there in Vet class.. Since Greg Hill is around... Think he will race vet pro this year??

I just got an email from Tim Klegin!!!

Anyone going to the Barn tonight??

Ok I'll bite who's Tim Klegin!!! and why do you have to put his name in Big Bold Type!!!!




I guess,...................joy kill

Who the #$#$ is Tim Klegin

Tim Klegin was a Minnesota bmx fixture back in the early 80's. His Parents were really cool. His Dad was a HUGE supporter of the sport, like many parents.

KOP, Greg Hill races 24". Vet pro is 20" I believe, unless they added both. By the looks of his last National he entered Ametuer 24" class. Nice huh? And I get shiot for entering 36 novice...

Yeah, Greg Hill racing amateur sheesh. What a coincedence he won in Desoto tonight.

No worries on Rockford Apold, I quit asking last year, lol.

Sent from the blueberry pda, word to ya mutha.

Paul, I was going to go or atleast seriously considering it. Then I looked at the calendar and noticed I double booked. I guess have fun and kick some blueberry butt.

POW POW, 8.5 inches of da fresh stuff

Found a new gig for ya Springload

Your happy to see snow. Your nuts...I dont' want to see it again.. You can keep that powder.. Looks like a good day to get the rides out...

Reeeeeeeeal funny Condo!

The powder was incredible, shin to knee's deep.

So then this must be you dressed up for tonights event... Stay Puff Marshmallow Man

Paul is that spray tan you have on?

Mark, sorry I didn't make it to the barn. I had good intentions. I spent most of the day buying a new car (Grrrrrr) and tomorrow is the oldests Birthday, so no bmx for me at all until the 4th.... Can't wait!!

So how was the 24" class today?

Yowza, we had a fun day of racing with 6 riders in 41-45 at Rehbeins.

Greg Schwartz (Q 1st) Finished 1st in Main
Jeff Moe (Q 2nd) Finished 2nd in Main
Lance White (Q 2nd) Finished 3rd in Main
Paul Springer (Q 3rd) Finished 4th in Main
Ty Nelson (Q 3rd) Finished 5th in Main
Scott Kraker (DNQ)

Greg Schwartz from Wisconsin made the drive over and is one fast cat showing us how to get it done. Qualifying Kraker and I tangled in the 3rd moto in the first berm, his front tire/axle/wheel snagged my back wheel and snapped a spoke and buzzed my right shoe. I towed him along for a while where he unfortunately went down superman style. Fortunately he was not hurt but I think I am on friendship probation with Chucky for a while.

I am sure Scott will have something to add and/or a different version of the story. I will just wait to see what he thinks happened lol...

Springer is the new Bulldozer

Thanks Springer for picking up the Bike. Since I was going to give the DG to Brad for doing me that favor, I guess I'll give it to you now....

DUG!!!! Now we just have to get that unsocial TOSSIT OVER here

Awesome, I will start buying parts tonight on eBay.




Watch it NEWBIE! Welcome aboard there Dougy!
