Oops! I meant $17.76

I'll trade you for a purple painted mx901 rear brake (no lever).

And Mark, I like the new unis - just couldn't resist posting chocolate pudding.

No problem. I only picked brown because they seemed to fit a better food group that matched their eating habbits.

That whole Blueberry thing was so miss leading....Like they are sitting home right now eating fruit... Next time someone see's the MBF team, feel free to give the Pudding Cups a hug. Wait! We don't know which ones they are! News to follow soon....

M.C. you woudn't buy that book for .05......... I actually would like to see it... I need to learn my ramp stalls again. This book is the key..

...v-Bay.

lmao...

Pipe
I can teach you for free. I need this book for, you know.

17.85

I think you would want this one then



I have contacted Mr. Walton, and have offered him my finest goat in trade

You can have the book and $20 for the goat. Nate and I talk about getting one of those things all the time. Those eyes are kinda freakin' me out though.

Here's another great shot.. Trying to show off to some friends in Mankato about 1991...

Just made a Craigslist score - I'll post some pics tomorrow. Says his brother got it new in 1980 - hasn't seen the light of day since the mid-80's.

Does This Track look familiar??? I belive it was MN, but it may have been Michigan... It was somewhere up north.
I was only about 8 or 9 yrs old here, and i can't remember for the life of me!


I am From Iowa originally and now live in Chicagoland. My Name is Shannon Schroeder... Used to race for KarrCity Big Wheels back in Iowa... Then went on to race for CW. We traveled ALLLLLL OVER!!
I just got back into racing since my son developed an interest.. We will be racing next season - locally
Just thought that I would say high, and see if anyone can help me remember my EARLY days. This ones been buggin me since we dug up these pics.

Thanks!
Shannon

Welcome Shannon!

I'm thing that's Michigan, unless it was the original Brainerd track. But I was never there. Think it was past my time. But clearly remember KarrCity Big Wheels!

About what year was that?

my guess is 83/84 ish by the banners and wardrobe.
shannon, don, your sponsor, crashed his airplane in the 50's , at the old airport where my salvage yard now sits.
i used to come down there for all the big races, and indoor at hawkeye during the winter months. don was one hell of a nice guy.
welcome.

Yesit was 82 or 83.. I was just a yougin" back then, but I was pretty fast!

GOOD OL' DON



He really was a COOOOOL OL MAN!

dude, you just made my day.
i think the last time i saw him was 84ish.

I have been diggin up more and more pics from the parents house, hopefully I will have a few more of the ol Kar City Team by next weekend.

Anyone know if Iowa has a thread??? I would love to see if there are any guys from my past on here????

Thanks guys for all the welcome notes... Makes me feel at home!!

So you must have known Clark Heidja? (sp?) and his little brother??

That track above was Michigan.

HMMM...That name doesn't ring a bell.
The names that I remember from KCBW are:
Trent Parsons
Jill Willenburg
Man, I know there is more but hell if my mind isn't drawing a blank...
Did you every race around the Quad cities? From 81 - about 85 or 86...?

How about Brad Peterson?....

Shannon,
Take a look at these galleries by Howie Manning on Old School Minnesota BMX

I think a lot of tracks, indoors and out were covered during the late 70's and early to mid 80's

I haven't seen an Iowa thread for a while, but know there are a few on VBMX. Pquinn (login name) Pat, is one of them

Who is headed to the Barn this weekend?

I plan on Friday night if things go as planned...

I plan to at this point, I need to double check with Nichole.

OSers FRIDAY NIGHTS AT THE BARN are back !!! you will see me there. Time to put some miles on the bike.

Sweet, hacksaw is back in the game!

And let us not forget HOW FAST HE IS....CLICK HERE!!!!!

I would like to, but I need to check it out with mommy.

I never forgot, but I'm trying to.

You have more jumping guts than I do and that'll take you allot farther (no pun intended) in this sport.

Thanks MC 4 the video update , I hope the skills are still there.

Brad, I may have guts, but I need your skills

You have plenty of skills. I have a 20" and the bike seems to have a mind of its own. I tried some vicious jump'n at St. Cloud and seen what that buildings roof looks like... Crazy air, then trying to run against 19 over Experts... I'm just a Novice

I'm sure he ^^ could beat me right now..

I need to score some ISIS drive 175's and a 42t gear. The 180's rock for the outdoors, but not very good for the barn. I'm normally a spinner but that stock 45-16 was awesome by the 3rd pedal (outdoors).

I just happened to have this setup availble for sale...

Hey Paul , were you hanging out with KOP and his mom at his MOM's house this weekend ???

Lets see'm!

DC, I'll be in search of ducks this weekend - season opener - my favorite weekend of the year.

Great picture Gary, Hope 2 see u at the barn this winter, friday's are OSer nights.

GARY - In response to the $20 for Bobby and a book...He's now in the modeling Biz, so the price went up





But we did pick up a fainter goat in your backyard in Baxter (She's the one on the right) The other two have been relocated in the GPP (Goat Protection Program) to that guy the runs the Isanti track...Can't display his name for security reasons



I'm now a Goat Broker, so if you need to be hooked up let me know

,

G.W. ~ great pix! Makes me think about our camping trips, spending as much time with the kids while they are young! Gary, nice to hold top 20 in NAG points - look fwd to riding with you again.

Yeah!

You HAVE to bring a fainter to the Condo Classic this year! I'll bring the bubble wrap, the firecrackers, the remote control trucks, and the air horns! I promise not to use them to make the goat faint more than 200 times (or so). ...lmao

I not only have a shop dog....I have shop goats to!



Has the indoor season started yet? I'm running out of Baaaa...d goat entertainment here

For the dirt dudes... I was riding around in Kasson the other day.. I found some dirt jumps right in town. They were pretty small and perfect for jumping.. Then on the other side of town was a great pool.. There was no way to ride it, with a fence around ( during the day ). But for a small town, there was some cool spots...

Rehbeins Opener TONIGHT, I am way stoked!!!

Does anyone know what time doors open at the Barn tonight?

6-9pm, but I'm sure Dug will be there by 5pm. Doubt if you can ride right away, I don't know.

I'm not going tonight. I'm just going to race instead tomorrow. Have fun!!!

I only can ride in a ratty old house somewhere.. No sunlight, or I melt..
