PT baby! PT!
I can now "pop" the hip in and out of the socket a bit...great fun.

I'll be racing soon though.

There is also a Black Kappa k-24 for sale.
Haven't posted on the Fbay yet...

Well pop that hip in, and use clips! That should keep ya in place Sorry, couldn't resist. Hope you heal up. We didn't hear any fishing stories this summer though? Ya fishin'?

Brad - The Barn...I couldn't tell you wants going on. I'm out of the Barn loop now-a-days it sounds like

Do you want me to pull your finger??

I'd say pass on that one. You never know where O'l-Reach Around Conley's finger has been..... He has goats too. Baaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!


Barn: Like you need an F'n invitation to go there. LMAO!!!

This one goes out to all my 'California Connection' homies....

Corner of Broadway and College in Albert Lea.....Spent a few pennies there as a kid....

Been reading this thread for a while with interest, many neat old pics that have been fun to look back on. I came into BMX in it's latter days. Was (and am ) a few years younger than you guys. Guys I know are Craig Anderson, Grant Neilsen, Jeff Weberg(have not talked to him in 20+ years) All about ten years older than I.


Thought I just hit big, but was out bid on Mini. Tried to up the bid with 3 sec. left but missed it. Was buying it for my 1 year old daughter. Have a 90's mini ripper(frame, LG forks, neck and bars) in the garage that I will build for her. The rest I will buy new from here and there.

Just had to let you guys know I have been lurking.

What is this 'California Connection' you speak of?

Welcome Skogy! But, cough up a name here... 10 years younger then most...would be 15 years younger then me....David Karrow?(sp) Spears? (Brad would chit his drawers if it was) Huh???

We need to get WEEEBS on here! Skogy, talk to us So. MN BMX'ers here...

KOP, you must know who this is?

MANNING!!!!!!!

Never heard of him.. Where did you race? What years? You from Albert Lea...... Grant Neilson, man, that dude was a big guy, and goofy... funny...Jeff Weberg, serious, cool and I got to hang with him a bit about 1986. I remember he even came to Waseca to ride one day. I remember he had a chrome bike with black tuffs..

Nope not one of the big name guys...Name is Chris Skogheim, from Albert Lea (some thought my last name was Hutchins back then, due to step-dads last name). Only tracks I raced were AL and Riverside probably 84-86, when I was 11-13 maybe a year or two before that even. My first race was at the Riverside Arena on some tank of a Huffy. Rode a track in Dawn Acres sub-divsion right by Weberg's house from sun-up to sundown most days as a kid. Screwed around on Weberg's half-pipe a few times. Mostly just rode around AL looking for a pile of dirt to jump.

Have not rode a bike in 15 yrs. On July 4 '93 I dove into a shallow pool and broke my neck and am paralyzed, shizzle happens.

I have been thinking of calling Weberg a see if he has any old pics from back then, he seemed to have a camera around alot. I remember that and the number of pretty cool bikes he had ove the years. For sure I remember the Quad-Angle, Robinson, and a Maximum. Seems to me he also had a Tahoe, but I am not positive on that.

I remember the day he got them, he was pumped, we were waiting in his front yard for the UPS guy.



Gotta go to work....

How was Grant a "big" guy? Tall yes, big guy no! But he was a funny kid.

I miss those old Albert Lea days. I use to ride over with Dan (God Bless him) in the Rydjor van for the day and hang with the AL boys and if anyone has ever been to AL, you know riding from one end of AL to Hutch's service is one long haul. Many good times indeed!

Weebs and Craig always had the new cool toys before anyone. Craig had one of the first bmx bikes known to me that went over the 1k cost. JMC F/F, graphites, Flights, titron pedals, you name it.. Cool stuff. Out of anyone that still has a survivor bike, its gotta me Craig or Weebs.

Cheese n rice....

Were glad you found us mate......Welcome!

Welcome Chris, it is always great to get more memorable stories and better yet more MN BMX fans. Hope to meet you sometime. Keep digging for those pictures and friends, they are definetly out there. Sorry to hear about your diving accident. Keep watching this thread for different gatherings and keep the sharing the stories.

Welcome Chris!


That dog is doing a one footer! Sweet.

MANNING!!!!!!!!!!! (10 "!" is the correct number)

























You didn't just count those did you? There are 11.

Happy Friday MN.

Conway, you still a Grateful Dead fan?

Who is racing at Rum River tomorrow?

What an awesome day out at Isanti, the weather was perfect and the turnout was BIG. This is one of my favorite races of the year, primarily because the of the tots race (big wheels & training wheels). Mark actually saved a kid that blew thru the finish line and was headed for disaster. Mark grabbed him before he went down and sacrificed himself doing a barrel roll while holding the kid in one hand and his camera in the other, most impressive Condo!

I think there were 37 moto's + Pit Bike + Tot's + Parents Races + Pro-Am. I know Mark took a boat load of photo's that should be up later at www.alltheracing.com later. In the old man class it was Jeff Moe, Rod Byrnes and myself and that is the way we finished.

Rehbeins opens October 3rd!

Yes it ws a great time at Rum River!

Moe was towing the boys around all day



Springer and BreakCheck



Yes these Tots are worth coming and watching each year! They are so into it!



Of course when they get tropies that are bigger then they are, that makes it all the more exciting!



ATR's newest lady racer...MaMa Juvland

This photo is a guy from Waseca. One day we were all riding our jump by our house 1983. This dude was a few years older than us, so we never really seen him. But we heard about him. All a sudden he shows up. We had this jump build out of wood and it was about 3 feet high. He comes down, and hits the jump only once. He got about 7 feet of air and did a tabletop. There was no landing on this jump. He totally wipes out, but I snapped this photo. I'm still amazed by that one jump..

Great photo's Mark, what a fun day!

Pipe, nice flow to the conversation. Ding Dong HELLO (?)

Come on Jerry, who was that?

John

That is Todd Zimmerman.. He took one on this jump.. Talk about someone who just went for it..

YEAAAAA!!!!!

banner i just got my gt done its posted on the museum

Here's one of me at Mankato. Fooling around on the first jump.. About 1995.....I remember how dead BMX was in those years. Races sucked, nobody was there......

Pipe,

What's the scoop on the MN BMX Foundation?

It's a organization to help Brad raise money to buy a jersey and send him to the Grands

Actually, MBF information is going to be released in the near future

Cool!

Sweet! Are you/we going? It would be allot of fun. I'll breakout the box alderbug. Seriously, I'll buy a new joisey, so get me one and logo it up.

Yum! Looks so good I can taste it.

I thought the MBF was the Man/Boy Foundation, or something like that..

Riiiiiiiiiight...

Fine, then don't. Keep your F'n shirt.

LOL, you have been pretty fiesty lately. When are we going to Elk River Blast Trail to ride?

I thought you'd never ask! LOL! Tonight would work, but it is suppose to rain again. Anytime this weekend. I'm looking forward to the 3rd/barn.

Don't let the rain slow you from riding. Count me in.

I was just cleaning out the back room and found this gem. The complete book is intact and you can learn to do curb endos and rock-walks in 3 simple steps.

Any takers? Best offer gets it.
