Oh BS!! Common!! Springer's going to melt it down and make a belt buckle out of it.

I took the CYC out yesterday and the freewheel did a John Sandberg before the main at the worlds and now I'zz a sore man. Springer, this bike defines "clown bike". I'll bring it Friday night.

Sunday's racing was quite interesting for me. It was my first race with clips. First moto holeshot went down in flames when I came un-clipped at the triple. Second moto, same thing. Third moto, I take it easy on the sprint to make sure I'm clipped in ok and Paul "the Dozer" Springer has a good sprint down the inside line. I figure he's going to drift up some in the berm, but I didn't realize I needed to use Joey the Bomb's line on the wood to keep from going down. Fun racing. No hard feelings.

The barn can be an unforgiving place to race if your not on the hot line. I almost went over last weekend too.

Clips? I guess thumbs up if you can make them work.

Speaking of Joey, why wasn't OFR/Jayson and co. down in Desoto? Its fairly close. I was looking for them guys.

So did they alter the cruiser classes a little? I see its 35-39, 40-44 and 45 over, or atlest at the nationals yesterday.

Clears throat.....WELCOME DOUG FROM REHBEIN'S, who brings Minnesota the chance to ride during the winter months!

Clips have been great in practice, but I picked up some new shoes and had problems getting the left foot in at the gate.

I would have been in lane 1 with Moe in 2 and Lance 3, so the start in the main would have been real fun.

And were all thankful.

Chucky, you'll figure out those clips and it'll help. I don't doubt there allot better for the actual performance (gates especially), but falling with them keeps me from joining the masses.

so is this new? I thought it was 35-40 and 41-45 24"

That was from Saturday's USAC US National Championship race. The classifications are different.

I'm so NS bmx stupid. What do you expectt from a novice. haaahaaa

Whats the status on Paul Cater?

Sounds like nothing has changed with Dozer. I have seen him go high and low and high in the same corner. I also have seen him through cans in concession corner. Anything for the edge I guess. You have to keep both eye's open when he's in the barn.

Clips, I have new shoes and and clip less in the works. It should be interesting.

You and me both Brutha

But LOOK! I have Eric Rupe in my class now too! Happy-Happy, Joy, Joy! Time to lay off the Ho-Ho's, the Bud Light, Red meet, and get spinnin

Don't be hatin the Playa, hate the GAME...

We Should have a few gates for Friday's event! See you at the barn.

Did you have a Dr. slip?

Or did you get your Full Body armor?

This Friday night is for a great cause and the silver surfer will be riding again...

I got the pit bike ready for the vet. class who's up for the challenge?

Trackdaddy

If I had a 16" bike I'd give it a try. Should be fun watching the 24" class again.

It's not just a 24" class. You can run that little kid bike with us big boys if you're not to scared. Just watch out for Springer.

Oh man that's cold. Maybe you need to focus more on the track and less on what Mr. Springer is doing. Maybe your the problem.. LOL!

My little kid bike huh? LOL! It would appear that way. Take it around 3-4 times and I bet your hooked. Its like going from a Caddy (24") to a sports car (20"). They handle IMO way better, but there harder to tame, and once you over come that obstical its more fun and easier to ride

If you let yourself fall behind I cannot promise what will happen, I wanted to stop and help you up but Ty wasn't going to wait for me. I blame Ty...

This should be good, watching wee little Bradly chasing the older kids on his tike bike....

It is my understanding that there is going to be a few REALLY little bikes available for you older youth. So Bradly, you may get to ride in that class as well

Thanks to ATR.com, I see we have another track in Minnesota. Good luck to the crew running the new Glencoe track.

I don't know from my angle in the anouncers stand.. I thought I maybe saw a forgien object come out (aka malachy crunch).. but I had a bad angle!

Where is Glencoe?????

www.mapquest.com

I just want Rixen revenge.

I'm looking forward to some riding.

These old guys hire hit men in the crowd to chuck things. Everybody thinks they are all nice guys, but little do they know....

News[size="5"][/size]

First off, the first time since 1984, i'm looking for a sponsor.. Just kind of throwing it out there. Mostly the sponsor just needs to supply my gas costs to get places, and entry fees if I decide to race. I will represent the sponsor by displaying a sticker on my bike.

Second, i'm going to the doctor in an hour to have my knee looked at. At the Condo Classic, I banged my knee against my handlebars. Ever since then there is a big bump there and I can't bend properly...

But don't let the injury stop the sponsors from calling. I'll still hang out and put the sticker on.. Is ATR interested?

You are going to have to talk to the ATR Team Manager, Paul Sprinter

ok... all hit men hired for Friday Night! I can't pay anything more to get you to stop your hired contracts but remember this is for charity and besides...this group does enough damage to them selves on there own. No help required! And just so everyone knows - I am slow the only thing I can beat my kids at is getting out of bed in the morning it is simply my goal to survive! But then I still have my Condo Classic Trophy on the fire place - right next to the national trophys the kids have scored this year! I cant wait..

Ride Hard.... Never Quit!

MC.. Maybe you should have one round of hardcore rules for some of the bike bangers!

Boy I sure did like that episode of Happy Days, those Malachi Brothers are my hero's... All proceed's from hired hit men go to Nancy, this is a special night : )




KOP, your pretty funny! Did your agent tell you that is a good starting point with the negotiations? I thought you were talking about sponsorship with Minnesota Faction asking about the details of getting a jersey and such. Your going to have to race more than twice a year ya know.

The main point in my sponsorship is gas money. I don't think it's too much to ask.. I'll run a sticker for Pete's Sake!
How am I supposed to hang out. And get out of Waseca... Usually I ask for a rental car also, but because of the recent economic crisis, I thought I would lower my standards..... So i'm a free agent, and I ride a Free Agent..

They already turned me down. I need something local.... Conley,, throw some bucks my way.. I'll ride around..

Anybody else get out and ride these last few days.. Let's see some pics....

I see a guy taking his bike out for a walk...
-Bill

I see someone who set the timer on his camera, and didn't get up in his picinic stance before the shutter went off

YOu guys are all wrong..Again.... ANybody riding out there, since the weather is better.. Let's see some new riding pics...I can't be the only one stepping up..

Also on the MAJOR news front. I have to go back to the doctor again monday, cause the last doctor, dosent' even know what that is on my knee... Four x- rays even.....

I don't think it's your knees that are the problem...

rode the hutch 24 about 5 miles yesterday and last thurs i had surgery to take out all the vericous veins in my right leg.

Kast, I can't wait to see your sexy legs!

Rehbeins After Party TONIGHT
Hampton Inn Lino Lakes, BYOB
Bring your best stories to share about how awesome your were BITD!
Special cameo appearance from Jeff "The Man" Manning, potential showing from Doug "The Hammer" Carlson, bring your autograph books!

For some reason this all rings a bell. Didn't Redlisberger publicly announce a party at his house, and people showed up that he didn't know...... Peterson can shed light on this subject I believe

Manning is showing up? nice! Can't stay for the after burner party, but I'm sure you'll have tons of fun anyway.

Anyone know the mudhole status at the barn? Its gotta be pretty soggy.

Parking lot looks dry.

Ha! I remember something like that happening... "What's your name again? I have mikkopeters at my house asking if you are here"- SR on the MC's VM.

Dougie! Manning! Whoo hoo! It's Hammertime


*edited to change SP to SR.

BIG well wishes and prayers for Jeff "JT" Tollefson who went down after the triple in the first straight and landed on his face last night. Fortunately he was wearing a full face helmet and it protected his head pretty well. He did have some injuries to his neck and I believe he went to the hospital following the accident. Please keep him and Carolyn in our thoughts.

We had a great time last night getting together to visit and have a benefit for Nancy, Russ Newcomb's girlfriend. We raised just under $600 and the money is going towards some great people. We had some OS racing and a ton of pit bike racing with three age classes, what a riot. We had a few slide outs and subtle crashes.






Sandbox has still got the skillz!






The fast little grommets truckin on down the line!


Showing old man Moe how to get it done, gidde up! I won't talk about the finish...


Look at this HARDCORE final gate.

so who took that hardcore last gate?
sandbox?
