Full Version: MN Faction Black and Blue BBQ II- Electric Boogaloo
MN-WI-SD-ND-IA BMXers!!!! I am very excited to announce the 2nd annual MN Faction BBQ will be on Sept 16th! The same format as last year, at the skatepark located at 90th and Portland. Everyone that was there last year rocked it out and I hope to see even more bikes and people this year! Bring a bike to ride, we will be having a huge game of foot down to close out the BBQ. I will be posting more details as I get everything lined up!

It is in THE calendar! I will try and round up as many racing goons as possible. Thanks for setting this up Mike...
Right on! This is more fun than anything, getting to meet BMXers is always cool!
Spread the word, we could have a record for the largest game of foot down going on...
BTW, there will be another bunnyhop contest this year... last year was sick. And this wasn't even the winner. Serious. Pic by G STRIKE.

OMG! Who has the handle bar tat? CRAZY...and this comes from a guy who has a motomag tat on his elbow!
I have a bike chain tat. The handle bar tat guy is Mark Lukens I believe. I'm hoping the lump on my elbow goes away by then so I can do another good slam.
I'll be there.
Need a ride up gregg? I will most certainly be up at this one!

Sorry guys, no baby yet, I was talking about the rat bike class and missed the comma after NOS.
Mom is really doing well, she has been a trooper... we'll more than likely have news on Friday.
Pauly- Peg will be at the BBQ, she made her debut at the as a brakeless wonder there last year. And you wouldn't believe it, that spot started to disapear when I got back. I have been taking her out for rides and you'd never guess that spot was ever there. I was seriously bummed out... but not anymore!

Yo, specify the size in the notes of the transaction, that should have been listed on the Pay Pal link. Thanks for the heads up...
Possible mini gathering in Maple Plain Sunday July 30th around 3pm (?)

Do the Ratt bykes have to be rideable?
I'm looking at a few options right now.
Yo Steef, thanks for the email this week! We're getting ready to head to the hsptl on thursday morning! I'll post the results when we return home!
In re to your Rat Bike question, I pulled this from minnesotafaction.com:
"The Rat Bike class is new for this year. When we say Rat Bike and unlimited, we mean anything goes. Low buck. Rattle can paint. Duct tape grips The only rule is that each bike must to be operational. Bring anything and show it with pride."
You have to be able to ride them in some fashion. Bobby Blotzer poster is optional.

Now it's safe to say "Congrats on the Baby Mike!".
Thanks Gregg!!! What a great feeling to be parents!
We're all home safe and sound! Isabella is one cute baby!

I am getting some final details together, it's going to be just as rad as last year! The ramp is ready and the grill is ready to rock! RetroBMX will be piloting the grilling tools this year.
The awards are going to be the bomb this year!
Anyone have their rat bike together yet?

Hey fellas,
Less than a month out! I am getting stoked!
I have some very cool news, I talked with JSAW last Friday and they are providing the rain back up for the the BBQ! And to top it off, we have an entire basketball court sized area to set up and old schoolers can ride the park for a special rate of $3.00. Whoa.

Yeah, JSAW rocks and $3.00 is such a deal!!!
I'm stoked because I'm going to pump up the tires on the 20" tonight and try riding since all the tumor crap going on this year. The doc said to "chill" so I'm going to do just that.
It should be another gnarly time!!!

Great to hear that JT. I'm sure it'll be fun to at least get out & roll around again!
See ya at the BBQ.

That's cool to hear about JSAW as well.

That is most certainly good news JT!
JSAW was super cool when I talked with them, it takes a huge weight off my mind if it decides it's going to rain.
It's going to be cool to meet a few more MN VBMXers! Spread the word!

Aw, man, wish I could be there, but I'm much further away from Richfield than I was last year. And Strike--I've got vintage photos for you and someday you WILL receive them. However, I've been too busy dodging bullets and rattlesnakes this summer to get 'em off to you. Maybe an early Christmas present?
A guy just stopped into the shop that took a Hutch Pro Racer in trader for a motorcycle. I told him about the BBQ and directed him here. It sounded like a pretty sweet ride.
mmm.... Fresh blood.
Not to be confused with Fred Blood.

There are going to be people crawling out of the woodwork this year. Last year a guy showed up after seeing the BBQ when he was driving by. He returned with a fully suspended bike from the 70's and went home a winner and also won a tshirt too. This could be you.
"How could I have missed the Minnesota Faction BBQ?" tales will be told much like people that turned down tickets to Woodstock. If you are on the fence, show up. You will have fun.

I'm always on the fence.
Plan A Ratt byke is Having a hard time coming apart. Luckily, the plan B Ratt byke is already beautifully spraybombed and almost ready for BMX Action. Of course there's always Plan C and D, too...

Question for everyone attending?
Who's bringing their kids?

I don't expect to see the mini-mikko for a few years.
See y'all Saturday!
