Minnesota Faction Winter Blast-
FACTion BMX Game Show February 16th- 6pm-10pm Broadway Pizza, Minneapolis MN
The Winter Blast was a great time last year and we're doing it again. Time to go through those old BMXA's you have stashed in the attic! This year Fab Kashimax hosts a BMX trivia contest that test your knowledge of the sport. Racing, Freestyle, history and things your didn't even know will all be fair game. Maybe a few Minnesota BMX questions will be in there... you never know.
Instead having only a couple people play, the whole room gets in on the action. Questions, answers, prizes, drinks, and once again- Broadway Pizza will be hosting the event. They even upgraded the room this year. Ha! This is going to rule!
If you have a vintage bike you want to display at the Winter Blast, contact Mike Peterson- mikkopeters@yahoo.com. There will be limited room so don't hesitate.

FACTION OUT.

Miko, those are GREAT looking. Hope the sales go well for you Faction Guys.
Look forward to seeing ya at the Rock..

Hey thanks! Bill Sympson put the art together for the jerseys and plates, both look killer.

The Faction has been a little on the quiet side since the BBQ. Rockford should be fun this year, bigger tent w/ more peeps showing up.

The Condo is over (awesome event!) and the next Winter Blast is around the corner!
Who's getting excited for this? Word on the street is Mike will have snake-charmers & midgets juggling flaming chainsaws there. True story.
And don't forget to drop Smitty a line for your Faction Jersey & Plate.
-Bill

Uh, Bill I belive it will be flaming midgets or little people being juggled by chainsaws.

Midget flamers? Should be fun!

I love midgets!

Even better when they bring me drinks!

How about a real cheerleader possibly? You never know. There may be a surprise.

Mikko--Jersey's and plates look sick!!! I'm sure they will be displayed in force at the Rock!

Yo, you never know what is going to happen at a Faction show! There are rumors, but one never knows. Fab Kashimax just mailed his rider to me, it does include "assistant". And a bowl of brown M&M's.

Those jerseys are going to be rad. I know we ordered a few extra, but I don't imagine they are going to be around very long. And I know I'll be sporting mine at the Rock!

This is gonna be rad. I may not know much but that broadway pizza.......... best in town baby.

Don't forget to get your plate order in by the 10th if you want your name on it!!!!

Ordered my plate today & will display with honor @ "The Rock"!!!!!!!

RIGHT ON BROTHER!!!!

I would like to thank everyone that purchased a jersey and/or a plate, this was a very cool project. I also want to thank Bill Sympson and Paul Smith for taking this from an idea to the real deal.

The Faction will be in full force at the Rock, look for the Faction tent and stop by to say hey! You don't have the be from Minnesota to be part of the Faction!!!!

Was just going to look at fight prices from Chi town and then remembered.............................oh yea, thanks my Wedding Anniversary. Not this time boys. Mikko - please consult me prior to the next shin-dig

Fight prices? This is a BMX celebration, not a boxing match.

KOP, Morey's never been one for proper english........

Flights/fights tomato/tamato.

I just eat a pizza in honor of Broadway Pizza.

Morey called me last weekend and I could barely understand him. He has stopped using syllables completely and is now basically yelling/screaming into the phone at all times.

The trivia questions have been written. I will be shocked if anyone gets all 50!!!!

So who is all going to make it? Check in here!

So far I have confirmed:
- Socko the Sock Puppet
- Mikko
- Conley
- Kast
- <your name here>

GET ON THE LIST OR YOU'LL BE PIST!!!!

Im in......duh!

Wouldnt miss Socko for the world!

Breaking News:
The MN Faction would like to thank One On One Bike Studio and QBP for sponsoring the Minnesota Faction Game Show!

Wink Martindale, wasn't availbable? I'm stoked, BMX gets me stoked. Pizza is stoke. All you guys are stoke. I'm stoked on my old white Haro bike, that got stolen at a Haro show.. The man in this pic is KOP. That's me. I was huge back in the day. Look at that crowd. OH,, back to the topic. I can't wait...

Is that a Master or a sport? I'm going up to look at a white Haro on Thursday.....hopin its a Master...dont got one of those yet.

The gameshow will rule.

BMX+Pizza+trivia= Fab Kashimax Thats all I'm gonna say!

That's a Haro sport. That bike really lasted me a long time. No bike is better than a Haro sport.. for sure...
What you got up you're sleeve this time Ditch.. Be sure to tell all, when you see the bike.. Get a pic of it, whether you buy it or not...

my self and a friend will be attending all the way from b-town ND. need to get out of town and hope to have a good time.

Not having a good time with the Faction? No way!
It will be good to meet you, make sure you introduce yourself!

Almost two weeks away and all hell breaks loose. Anyone bringing some old bikes?

What this game show/clown show thing??

How long will Pshyco last on the I 35w bridge rebuild? He's working 12's, seven days a week. The closest guess, gets a free night out at Frenchmans super club.

i'm considering bringing 2 old bikes, neither are finished but have a decent start, 83 mongoose bluemax and 85 street beat.
looking forward to the road trip and hangen with everyone. i'll try not to be a wall flower, i kinda shy guy at first.

Whoo hoo! We're only DAYS away from the Faction Game Show!!!
Bikes: A few of you have contacted me in re to bringing bikes, we will still have room for a few more- PM me if you are bringing something.

Otherwise, things are shaping up noicely!

Socko is in

Socko is everywhere.

Springer, coming in hot with the arts and crafts! You going to sell them at the Barn?


FACTION GAME SHOW UPDATE:
It's gonna kick 6% more butt than expected. Bring your thinking caps becasue this is going to be tough...

What was the name of Mike Buff's blue backyard halfpipe? This is a question I won on trivia before..... The Blue Whale.....

Dude, that is a level one! We have level 3 that will cause people to break down weeping...

The Faction dug deep into the vault for these questions. Emailed experts, dug around on sites, verified answers, cross checked math, PMed VBMXers, wrote letters, petitioned the courts, begged your moms, bribed your dads and spent the better part of a week gathering this trivia. One knowledge collector wound up checking himself into the ICU after he turned his packet of info into headquarters.

Wow, this will be good..

KOP rocking the park!

Conley with the prototype model... Socko is everywhere!

Jerry....your cheerleader pic slid by without much comment. Is that the same lovely that accompanied you to the Soul Asylum gig?

I heard that Tommy Lee is showing up... rumor, of course.
Who is going to show?
Manning?
Steef?
Sheely?
Yer ma?
My ma?
The police?

No luck for cheerleaders showing up... That's for sure.. I'll try to find someone to come with me..

Anybody up for the next event. at Skateville....???

A possible guest appearance?

Yeah! Things are looking good for Saturday!

Reminder: We are going to have the room split up into teams, I recommend that if you were a freestyler, you team up with a racer and vice versa. There are questions that will stump the most well versed BMX trivia nut case! Prizes to the top 3 teams!
Is David Lee Roth really going to show? Ted Carl? Jay Wendt? Sheely? Conley? Miland? Apold? Retro? Anstedt?

need some help from you guys, my place to stay while out there fell through, i need to find a afordable hotel room for preferably 2 nights. other then that all is go and cant wait for this weekend.

Yo, check your PM, I sent you some info!

Is it true that the new Faction jerseys are making their debut on Saturday as well???
