I got to thinking about the March 28-30 Desoto ABA BMX Ntaional and USAC Championship event coming up. This is a pretty big deal for the BMX community, with the Metroplex hosting the event, ABA BMX running the event and it's a totally different format then the norm with a 4 day event. I was thinking we need to have some BMX history on hand. Something for the media and BMX fans to take in and see some of our past history. If you guys are up for it I can help out with some space for this one. Just a show and shine, no awards or trophies. Just bro's and their rides. Let me know if you guys are up for it.

Sounds good Brett, Cash mathews should be down for a few and Pat Quinn. Let's hope more want to show.

Do the bikes need to be there all 3 days? I might be able to bring two or three.

I was thinking maybe doing something on Saturday. That's seems to be the best for most people.

I have plans on Saturday, but this sounds like a good enough reason to change plans. Let me know what I can do to help.

Sounds great guys, anyone got Pat Quinn's #? I use to have but I can't find it. If so, please let him know it's going down.

mccain keeps leaving me voice mails, someting about me being VP or something.... now anyway, the bmx thing sounds interesting, I must now go and check the dates, since I took about a month off I have no idea what's going on...
Thumperpilot
Good to see you chime in 'ol buddy, now get back in the loop Pat! LOL!!!
Criscobath
Would it be possible to know by the 24th if this show is locked and loaded?

BMX2112

I talked with the facility people today. We are good to go on an old school area. I gave them a rough estimate for space as we still gathering the peeps for this one.
la.bmx
I have about a 50-50 shot of making it there...if I do, I'll have at least one old school scoot to show. This alone turns my 50-50 shot into at least a 65-35 shot of being there!!!
BMX2112
Call me Shannon when you hit Dallas and I'll try and meet you out there Fri. to get it set-up.
That goes for anybody else that needs info.

I actually get into Dallas Wednesday afternoon. I'll be out there on Thursday as well.
BMX2112
cool, holla at me when you get a chance to, I've been on the phone with a couple of guys today about it and have a few lined up and working on more. I know I will be bringing out at least 10 bikes and not sure on the rest as far as a count.
Thumperpilot
Great talking with you earlier Brett, things should be good!

I've been kind of "out" of the bmx scene lately, if I do show up, I doubt I'm bringing any bikes. My collection shall remain forever a mystery to most of vbmx.
Thumperpilot
Bust out Pat, I know what you're hiding in that garage. You at least owe it to me to show off that Patterson Sentry I scored you from my old buddy in Hawaii. biggrin.gif

Shake Base for you!
Criscobath
I have to tell you. I've got some cleaning to do. I've had my "nice" bikes in a back room while our floors and sheetrock work were being done and they're coated in dust. It's bad. I'll get em done though.
