Look at some of the videos - one-footed starts w/ a rubberband gate!

Just stick a few Midwest bmx wooden jumps in there and it would be 1981 all over again.

I talked to Russ today & he mentioned that Mark might bring a goat over for a visit. Word of warning bro, if Russ is wearing his knee high irrigation boots that's a bad sign. I'm just saying keep an eye on that goat........... tongue.gif

Hey KOP , sell me that Tahoe F/F and you will have some GAS money to get out of your County. I need a summer project.

Original finish nothing done to it.

Was some elbow rubbing between DC and Lance at Rum River today! Not much for old schoolers. The new track is SAWEET! I'll post some bigger track pics later.







Not a very good turnout for old cars though. But they sure were puuurty!

Dave, glad to see you back in groove - keep the pics coming, good stuff.

I'm giving up on trying to get these Maple Plain National tapes transfered, Scott - you said you had a deck that does VHS to DVD? I can hand them off to you if you still want to do it.

My BMX bike should be here this week, can't wait to get some track time with you guys. In the meantime I've been riding a bit on my new MTB and working on another motorbike - a '99 Kawi ZRX1100 Lawson Replica.

Its about time we get some beauty weather there ehh...

Busy weekend, it sure is nice to be outdoors again.

JT is the man, for selling Tahoe.....
Rydjors Dark Sider Black Sheep 1%'r
my NOS Tahoe sticker set sure would look perfect on that frame!!!!! but Im still holdin out lookin for my very own cruiser. Even though people tell me Paul Caters was mine somehow...I still dont believe it.
B. Apold
What is the Tahoe going for JT? Tahoe's had there own forks right? I seem to remember they were DeCoster-ish weren't they?

John Sandberg
JT, sorry to hear you gotta sell the Tahoe for medical expenses. Is it the result of the barn crash?

If you sell the F/F to somebody on here, toss in those decals I gave you. If something changes in the future for you and you need another set of decals, I could probably hook you up.
J.T.
Yes the barn crash has been very expensive, painful, and we'll see if the effects of it will ever wear off? I'm still in physical therapy, still sprained, and seeing an ENT specialist for my throat.

Whenever I clean I lose stuff. I cannot find my folder with all my stickers in it, including the Tahoe's. Carolyn and I turned the house upside down and cannot find them. Really bummed about that since you gave me the stickers to build this guy up.

With that I have lost the forks, which look like first gen robinsons! I have too much stuff crammed in my tiny dungeon, and for the life of me I cannot find the fork sad.gif

So if Scott or Ted want to jump on this project let me know as I want the Tahoes sticking around here where they belong. Paul's is on "Evilbay" again minus some of the original parts he had on it. Hope Paul is doing better after his crash?

I went to a freestyle contest last weekend in Faribault.. It was pretty good. There was one guy there doing flairs and front flips.. But I thought the trick of the day was this shot....

B. Apold
Today's freestyle amazes me.. When I lived in So Cal they use to have weekend Freestyle competitions in a strip mall parking lot close to my home, and I just watch in awe...
wds
That's a good shot Jerry! And a heck of a trick when you know what's behind that rail - NOTHING!
That looks like Jonah Lindberg - was he riding a Standard w/ a freecoaster?

Jeff Manning


I look at this picture of Sister Christian-sen, and wonder if he is Man or Machine..?
King of Pipeline
THat dude was named Johah.. That guy was so mellow and cool.. I stood by him for about a 1/2 hour watching the ams.. we didn't say anything to each other, but just seems like a cool guy.. When he pulled that first try, brought the house down...

Hey Mike, down in Rockford I noticed there is a gathering night at Hooters, do we have a private party room or is it a free for all. I also left you a message on your home phone with the same question but I never heard back?
mikkopeters
LOL you ol' sacks! That was a fun time at the 06 BBQ.

My cell is the best way to get in touch with me, the house phone is just there for looks.

Hooters does have a patio area they have available for us that night, they are going to be as accomodating as possible. Think Don Pablos last year, hang out, BS etc. Casual.

DitchWeed
How bout Don Pablo's again on Friday night?
mikkopeters
We did try to contact the Rockford Don Pablos, but that location was closed when they downsized. And don't forget VBMX karaoke is going down from 9pm-12m with free pizza.

Springer- no message on the bat phone.

He is good. I believe that he's been on Standard for a while now & he's had a video part in a RIDE vid a couple yrs back.
