I'm in 2 !!! With my new training program, I'm sure to WIN !!!

Pauli , I thought u were out of town ???

Pauli is one of those techno geeks. He stays connected even on the road.

It's looking like Saturday night is good for me. I would like to do Friday practice, but it's going to work out this week. I have to get my 200 sprints, 200 squats, & 200 Redbulls in to catch up to the Hacksaw.

Brad has been calling me with updates and I then fax him my reply's with my login. He then sends back your comments via smoke signal and I reply with morse code.

I did not vacation to another planet there Hacksaw, its only Michigan. They have the internets there don't cha know hoser... take off ehhh!

"Look Pauli, Zener Diode! Ooooooooh"

I'm good for a half lap. Maybe 3/4 of one.

So, are more people racing on sat, as opposed to sunday? If that's the case, I'll see if I can adjust my plans to fit that.

When exactly is the Condo classic going to be?

I might have to start gathering cans for the trophy!!

Hey Jeff, we've missed you at the track. Hope all is going well. From the sound of it, the Condo Classic will be in early January.

It's January sometime between the 1st and the 31st

Saturday night would be better for me. Sounds like the same for Jay. Brad & Moe?

February would be good..It is leap year in '08.. Wouldn't have to race for another 4 years

Roger that. Sat would be best for me. Sunday sounds really wet again, not that it matters.

Bill, lets us know which day? Great if you can make it.


Paul, my net is down on the satellite connection... Call me with vbmx updates.

It sounds like most people will be in on sat. My plans for sat have changed, so I think I'll be in for sat as well. This way we'll have a class for sure.
It's always more fun that way!
See y'all sat!
-Bill

Agree. And the 41-45 class almost always has a class. I'll be in that soon enough (dec). I probably won't rce much after Jan. though. Probably the OS race and one or twice. I'm all talk

Hey guys,

I just thought I should let you know that Sean Miland's Father Larry Miland past away yesterday. I'm very sad about this news. Larry was very active in bmx and he brought us everywhere. Larry was a great guy in everyway and I'll miss him allot... Just thought I'd pass on this sad info..

C-ya.

I am sorry to hear about the Miland families loss, Sean my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

Yo! I'm going to the barn tonight to ride a little... anyone else? I know Boecker is going too

I'm sorry to hear about Seans father..

My prayers go out to the Miland family!

Larry you will be missed.

Take care of your family Sean. Our thoughts are with you.

Hey guys... I went to the barn and I'm possibly on the injury list. I went down in the first corner last night on my hands, elbow and shoulder. It seemed like a harmless fall, but once I picked up my kid this Morning I realized how sore I am.. I repost later to let the 35-40 cruiser guys know if I'm going. I should be okay.. damn it!!!!!!!!!! Boecker and Matt had a good laugh..

You didn't rip your dress when you fell did you?

I told you not to ride with those 3 inch heels, there more dangerous than clips.

Spray a little bactine on it and get your a z z out there.

I ripped my OS MC joisey though.... a-s-shole! j/k

Its not the road rash that hurts. I feel like someone twisted my arm until I said " I give" Its hard to hold my arm straight out... I can still make a fist though..

Now which girlfriend was this? The rich one or the tranny? It's so hard to keep track of KOP's conquests these days.

*no offense to any of the VBMX transexuals out there*

The question is: Can you still pedal? Sorry to hear about your crash. I understand completely what you're saying. I'm going tonight and Jay is going to follow me up to try out that pretty new bike of his. Bill, if you're in, we should still have a class tonight. Keep us post Brad. Get some rest and put a new coat of polish on. You'll be fine.

I'll check in later to see if anything has changed. Moe, are you planning on being there tonight?

Moe is working today and tomorrow and won't be racing at all... per Jeff.

Chucky, It hurts like crazy. I took some Ibru, so maybe that will help. I hope so. I was running pretty good and felt great last night. I was talking to Boecker for an hour or so and then hopped back on the bike and just went like normal... I should have warmed up again. I was trying a dive manuever and just lost it at the top of the berm and dove straight down onto my shoulder/back/hands.. I need gloves..

Brad, I completely understand. When I crashed, my hip area hurt so bad when I would pedal that I didn't feel like riding. Don't feel bad for not racing. I heard the payout isn't that great tonight.

It seems when people post they use the wrong thing.. Half the time I have to read the some stuff twice.. That quot thing is a waste of time.. just reply... saves space and time when reading..

All you guys are racing today.. Im' jealous..

hey guys- I just wanted to let ya know my dad Larry Miland loved hanging out with you BMX guys/kids. Of course Mark Conley was his fave maybe. Brad Apold and Jay Wendt always brought some good memories for him when we talked about the old days. Rob Tracy did alot with us too. Rob was like a son to him when we were out BMX'n on the road. Most of all,I think my dad felt a kinship with the BMX scene and it brought us really close during the teen years. BMX really gave our family a unified purpose for a quite a few years. Awesome memories there guys. I'll miss ya dad.

Sean, Our Thoughts and prays go out to you and your Family. God Bless!

Keep us posted Sean. Anything we can do, don't hesitate.

***************************************************

Brad - ow. gloves help a tich. the body armor rocks! Helmet visor and breather hole thingy can be replaced. Magic cure all " PERCOCET". New bike "flexes" a bit much. Jason hopped on and was amazed at how much. Scott tried to fix it (Thx Chucky) but wasn't enough. Jason thx for the tightener.

I want to thank Scott, Bill, Bill, Jason,and staff at Rheubines tonight.
I definetely left my mark up there...heheh
I'll be back.
I heard MC's guy was taking pictures tonight. That should be good. Please send.

State your name kid!





Jay, cool you made it. Its an awesome place to ride isn't it? I little intimidating at first too. We've all gone through that... But once you hear that gate drop for the first time, its like, oh ya, I remember that and its all good from there. Congrats!!

Jay, not liking the Kappa now?? I don't ever see them around and know nothing about them other than they look sweet, I see a 20" from time to time.
Some of the new frames like MC's C-yaa line, SC, Avent, Intense, and the FMF's ( which are the same as about 40 others) are stiff frames. The FMF is LONG (22" tt) ..I think Scmidty has a slightly used one for sale pretty cheap. (FYI).

Sean, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Prayers go out to you and your family.

Last nights racing was interesting to say the least. Pretty good turnout. Big Rig showed up with his boys to race. It was cool to see Bill back at the track. Bill Sympson also made it to the barn for some racing and Jay made his debut on that awesome "looking" Kappa.

Things were good until the first moto when Jay took a hard digger at the first double. We all stopped because it didn't look good, but the safety gear did its job and Jay was just fine. Jayson said he could see the chain sag due to the frame flex. After we got things tightened up, Jayson put it up against the wall and it was amazing how much the rear end moved. Very scary.

Jay, I hope you're feeling better soon. You definitely left your mark on the first jump.

Thanks Scott.

I'm a little sore, but I expected that.

The 661 body armor saved me for sure. Along with the new fox helmet. (now sans visor and breather plastic) I was pretty amazed at the Shadow gloves. They did rip, but I'm barely scraped at all. The modern gear is really good!

I now have an excellant excuse to watch Football all day.

KOP that is due to the default being set to "+" when you hit reply.
You can either highlight and delete before writing, or click the quote button first(switches it to - and red) then click reply.

It's a little backwards IMO compared to what I'd expect. It "Looks" like you can either hit quote or reply. But that isn't how it opperates.

SORRY! Chris Oscarson, Moorhead, MN.

Welcome Chris...

Sweet , one more added to the OSer's of MN list, welcome chris. more pictures and a bio if possible.

yes pics!!

Welcome aboard!! We like to know who everyone is.

What years did you race?

Ya, Jay, I hope your alright man. I don't care how good a rider is, it hurts when you go down. Sounds like you went down allot harder than I.
I was alright Sat. I was goofing around and fell because of it. Its a move I've done a million times before and there I was, on the ground after rolling down the berm.... and I was at the top when I lost it... LOL!!! I wish I had video of that. Probably funnier than when Scott said I suck!!! Scott, did you and Matt see me loose it or after the fact???

sorry Brad I missed it, but I'm sure you will give us a replay sooon . maybe this weekend ???

I won't be there Friday as I have one of the last gig commitments left over. thank god! Long story, but my friend needed me to fill in for him for about 1 year because he moved and 9 months is all I can take.. Haaahaaaa... Maybe Sat or Sun race.

No more replays. I gotta stop pretending I'm you. LOL! I can't pull all that stuff off like you can.

BTW, Scott I spoke to a guy at Phil Wood today. I was looking for the decals on the hubs that wore off, anyway, like I thought they are screened on there, so no luck. He was cool though and wanted to see pics of them on the bike. They are the oldest cycling component US company still existing today. 1971 they got there start. It was an intersting conversation. They rebuild hubs for around 40.00, but his words were a little play is how there suppose to be and its no signs anything is wrong. If anything he said its the optimum performance from the bearings. Its just play between the bearing and the beargin race... Okay I'm done now.. Sorry, but Phil was always a fasinating company to me as a kid.

Wow Jay, I hope everything is okay. It sounds like you went down good.

Anyone else racing this coming weekend?

Pauli , how about friday , for some practice ???

i'M NOT SURE IF i'VE EVER POSTED THESE PICTURES ???










Let's try to post more pictures !!!

Here is 80's MN BMX at it's BEST.




I think that's a smile on MC face ???

Great pictures Scott. What year are the EP photos?

Scott, I can't make it Friday. I will be there Saturday & Sunday though practicing and racing.

Awesome group photo, more pics, more pics.
