That smell was something else... what the hell was that?

Sorry, it might have been goat urine. I hadn't taken a shower that day

Brad you have to be one of the biggest panzy-skirt-wearin'-half-pint-sized guys I know

Good ol barn yard humidity.

i went to mankato thinking kop would be there but of course he wasnt, i road my skyway around but no one except for one guy from cannon falls talked to me about it. everyone seemed really stuck up. i was late so i couldnt race. i got some vid action.

Theo has a great scent. LMAO, I remember Ben Richards making Theo laugh as he was taking a pull off the only water jugg they had the entire day... Its 98deg and Theo's backwashing into the jugg. Hilarious!

He is sneaky. Here I thought he was just driving down the road and seen a pedal bike race, and thought "Hmm, maybe I should just stop in"

NOW, I realized he made a family vacation out of it and didn't invite us.

Congrats DC!

DC has taken points-chasing to a whole new level. I heard he's going to Mexico next week for a couple double-points races.

Team Christensen tearing up CANADA!!!

DC, way to go in Canada !!!

So he's up in Canada, eh ... must be visiting his brothers?



Nice work Dave.

Someday's I wonder if Canada would be a better place to call home. There Econo is thrieving these days. To bad they only have like 4 days of Summer....

Back in MN packing bike box (team Tremor™ green) as I can get late flight to China for post race, double-triple points for those who didn’t qualify for Olympics. I had planned the week vaca trip to end up in Kelowna BC Canada all along. Same as US guys – at the National level those guys FAST! I had hoped to do better but you can see by Shawn’s photo my chin is soar! I was proud as Calvin did get a 4^th on Sunday but later DQ’d for crossing 1^st 20’ line out of the gate.. @#$^%&^ - a learning experience for Cal. Fill U in Sunday in St. Cloud. D.C. 2z



The previous post are great!

Kinda looks like to me that, DC was haulin' some logs upder in Canadaland Eh?

Yet once again I proved myself right...notice who is the ONLY one with no daylight under his tires?

Looks like racing starts tonight on NBC at 9:00...... I just seen a little piece on it... Track looks pretty amazing..

Your son got DQ'd... That still happens in bmx?

Margarita Bucket - CHECK!
Snacks - CHECK!
Foot Stool - CHECK!
Jammies - CHECK!
Big Fuzzy Slippers - can't find the dammmmnnn things

Olympic BMX ....I AM READY!

I posted a couple of Olymics Widgets (Slideshows and Video) on my blog for easy access (I'm hating that NBC site) :

http://oiljunkie.blogspot.com

Conley, you gonna get off the couch and venture into the city on Wednesday night and watch the Olympic action with your homies?

No Paul, the big city scares me, so I have the catheter hooked up, and I did find the big fuzzy slipper's so I'm not leaving the couch until the action is over!

Great riding at the Olympic , DR was looking good, but needs to step it up a little. The track is very cool and looks very fast. can't wait for the mains !!!

Awesome start for BMX in the olympics. The semi's are going to be very intense.

Awesome for sure had me on the edge of my seat yelling the whole time. Can't wait for the semis & finals. It's gonna be some amazing racing.
That track is wild - those gaps!
-Bill

I missed it (fell asleep), so is there any site that has the entire video? gotta be somewhere.... Fk!

When was this on? I was all over the NBC site last night and it was highlighted as "Live" but I couldn't find the feed to save my life - nothing on the three cable channels either.

I think COASTY was the one that posted this link. It's Aussie TV, but same racing coverage. It is wild

BMX COVERAGE CLIPS HERE



.

That was sweet! Crappy time slot though.

Agree.. It worked great for the west coast.

Go to the NBC site. I watched the coverage on the computer this morning.

Ok, after email threats from DC about his "lack of Air", I must say I'm sorry for my poor display of public behavior, and post this proof that he can catch some air, plus he wants a backrub...

OK - that's what I did too. I guess I should have tried to trick the thing into thinking I was on the west coast.

I found it on there already... thanks though! Its over so quick after all this waiting.

Does that guy next to DC have mags on that cruiser???

BMX better be on tonight... I need to see this,, and not at 1 am either.. I can only take so much of this diving and tumbling crap..

I'm skipping the races in Mankato tonight to watch this shizzle...

Rain,, cancelled.. haha. why not...

If anybody knows when this is really going to be on.. please post.. I dont' want to miss this..

Ya, no shiot KOP!!!! This entire bmx schedule has been Eff'd up!!!!! Atleast I was able to see the women's Volleyball gold metal game..... Those girls are soooooooooooo good and deserve that gold metal. Rock on Misty and Carrie!!

That's a cool picture of DC jumping that hugh double. Did I read correctly that there is a video of this race in Canada? Lets get it posted.

Dave, are you planning on setting up the camper in St. Cloud this weekend? It sounds like a pretty good group of ATR racers will be staying in St. Cloud. Springer is handling all the event planning , so check in and let us know what your plan is for the weekend.

Good turnout last night, no racing though but we made the best of it. Beer helps.

Good luck this weekend fellers!

yes, good luck guys!

Brad - Are you coming up to watch on Sunday?

Only if the second coat of polish dries in time and he's not too tired from putting it on.

Just a heads-up here: I won't be BMXing this weekend, but if I were...I would sell it to you if I needed to. If I were to line up on the gate with you...it would be go time.

Time to play nice? I don't think so. Nothing dirty, just clean aggressive racing.

And so on and so forth...

Giddy up there Sandbox, you will be missed...

I have no will to race since the Sandbox is absent


I'm kinda of on vacation this week. No Florida (of course), and I'm sad, but there's always next month. But I am getting another new roof and siding on the house today (3rd time in 4yrs).

Good luck bmx mates!!! Be-Aggresive, B-E-Agressive... B-E-A-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E!

Keep it clean racing this weekend!
