shameless bump

and yet, another shameless bump! Double checking my schedule.

would love ya there murph gotta bring the inner tube trick LOL

James, Did you secure the park? I should have the track open by then if you would like to host it there , we can have a race or some thing...?

already secure

Of course I shall be there again this year! I will be entering the bunny hop contest (let the jokes begin) and if the Haro is finished by then, I may also enter the flatland jam (let the jokes continue)!

YO MC, how ya been bro?! Haven't seen ya on here in a while! Schedule, schmedule, git yer tail down here, no excuses!!!

inner tube trick... man.. that hurts.. and yes, the daughter is still grounded for that!


Bring my tail down? lol, let me check u just want the secret to the inner tube trick huh??

Hahahahahaha! The inner tube trick, LOL!!! Funny stuff!

I though i saw moosegoose nick and George hit the dirt when that sucker went off. LoL Please share the secret ya know how many times i tryed that as a kid

Ya know, at Peps first gathering, we had an inner tube explode. However, it was inside the house, in the basement! WOW, was that loud!!! Ears rang for a bit after that one. Old school wheel/tire combos cannot handle 100psi ya know!!!

shameless bump there will be many more to come LOL

Did he say shameless bump?? OMG!

AHHHH update NO flatland jam this year I am sorry guys i can not afford the insurance at this point. I will have flyers at rockford this year and will be handing them out to everyone I see. Will see you guys in a couple weeks

Plan B at my house this year James? Ya know everyone is welcome, plenty of room even if folks want to camp. If you have RC buggies and trucks bring them along, James will be helping me with a track. OH yeah, James I need your help with a RC track LOL. We can have another contest besides bunny hop, make it to the top of Hell Hill on a single speed (race gearing) without pukeing, and maybe a group ride along the I&M canal or Illani State Park with a stop off at a local watering hole.

gonna try to be there this year. Was in florida last year & was bummed to miss it.

maybe a couple of bikes too......

James...

Planning on making it... not sure if my wife will make it or not ... see yo at the Rock

James, I should be there unless my house sell's before than. Was a great time. Anybody reading this that is undecided, think no more, it really was a good time. James ROCKS!

OK lets get the Ball rolling on this Rockford is over
And it is time for the second show of the year hosted in ILLINOIS. If any guys plan on making it out here for this please contact me so i can find you a better than normal rate at the local hotels. Again Pretty much gotta show up FOOD DRINK FRIENDS AND SHOWING all are FREE this is a donation affair as all funding comes from my pocket Peace and keep the thread alive
