I hope to make this BBQ. I had a soggy blast racing the All City Championships Saturday. Gonna do 24 hours of Afton this weekend on a team that includes OS freestyle guy Scott Puhl. I just hope it quits raining soon so the trails will dry out some. In other OS guy news, Hurl is going to Scotland for the Singlespeed world championships.

We'll have to have a celebratory beverage if you make the BBQ Steef! If not, we'll have to meet up some night.

It's official- the new Faction shirts are available! There are new designs, variations on the "classic" Faction shirts you have seen members wearing at different events. Check 'em out!
STRIKE
Tell Scott that I say hello Steef.

This year's BBQ is going to be a Rochester Reunion! any other guys going to make it up for the event?

After we wrap up we'll have to have dinner or something and maybe (MAYBE) some riding. There is a Don Pablos 5 minutes from the park!

Either way, it will be fun to see all the OG's MN BMXers!

sAc, you going to weigh in on the BBQ thread???

Anyone else bringing a rat byke other than me and Ditch? Springer? Wendt? Conley?

So Mike,

Do we have a peliminary head count. This ship is gonna be off the deep end!
steef
I'm officially a maybe.

Damn cats.
mikkopeters
"big L"- PM box is emptied!

Bill A, I have no idea how many people are going to show. If we have more people than we expect, I'll have someone run to get more hot dogs and buns. It'll be cool.

I do know this... word is out. Flyers were sent to quite a few shops, the website is getting some serious hits and it's been posted in other forums.

And we're running it rain or shine. No backup either!

I was serious about Don Pablos or The Frenchmans afterwards... drop the grill and ramp off and head out!
Bosanova Bill
hell keep the grill and the ramp and head out. we'll so some old school demos for the folks at Don P's.
mikkopeters
KOP could jump a car.
Bosanova Bill

Bosanova Bill
What, no one is phsyched over all these goodies. all right mike i guess it's all ours.
steef
itod bunnyhopping my seat at the All City Championships pre party shenanigans. He'll be rockin' his hopping skillz at the BBQ. And his footdown skillz. I sure could use a Redline decal set for my Monocog 29er project.
mikkopeters
That was rad Steef!
I think that this year is going to be the biggest yet, I have had more people email me outta the blue. And we're going to have most of the OG's attending. But the bottom line is it's not about how big the event is, it's about having fun. And I like fun.

We do have a TON of giveaways, we're talking 40+ prizes, plus prizes to the winners of the skills contests.

I would appreciate it if you are planning on making the BBQ to check in here so I can anticipate the number of dogs I am going to have to buy etc.

Keep on rocking in the free world.
-Mike
Heir Vendt

I know Chucky Kraker is looking for a REDLINE sticker set for his 24 white racer.

Looks like you guys are going to have fun.

Freestyle Forever

Ah, I was just kidding around. The BBQ isn't just freestyle, it's for everyone. In fact we're giving away a race frame and a bunch of ABA stickers/ handbooks/ ABA magazines. Most definately not freestyle!
