Getting old and my memory is not what it once was, yet I think that perhaps Bryan D and RetroBMX may have made it every year along with myself. Anyone else?

I have been there every year but didnt show anything for the first 2 , I just hung out at the show and watched my daughter race.

I haven't been to all 10, but I've been to every one since I first found out about it. I didn't bring bikes to my first one either, it was the year Oz was the guest. It was so cool seeing all the bikes and racers, then the banquet and getting to see Joe Kid. I look forward to it every year now. Got 2 bikes registered so far for this one. Still deciding on 1 or 2 others.

I'll be 5 for the last 5 I guess.

2000 was my first year...and I have not missed one yet.
MOREYRACING
Jeff, you say your not showing then you make it, cool. Now If I can get you to show for events in your own back yard! I made it to your town in a snowstorm.

I have been going since 2000 but did not start showing bikes until 2005. I may or may not make the 10th,but only to look and visit with friends.Getting ready to throw all my JP stuff in storage if it does not sell prior to the show.I will comeback sometime after I am settled in my new home in Florida to retieve all my left over bikes and parts. Peace to everyone. jpbmxoskul ~ Fred

It's been a few years bu I made an appearance last year, but didn't stop by the Vintage festivies. I did run into Jim on Sunday tho. I'll be there this year and will try to stop by, but I'll be trackside most of the weekend watching the little guy tear it up!!

gino, wish I could be there. I went to blue springs and looked around for you but did not see you. My wife had a neice getting married in kc, spent too much money on kc trip, can't make the rock, regrettably...
Gino
Pat.. you should have told me you were going to KC I would have tracked you down. I spent most of the time under the canopy just south of the track.. It was pretty humid..LOL!

Are you planning on the Grands this year.. I should be there!

Or a picture thread...
I was supposed to go that year as well - with the darksiders. A few of 'em(names withheld to protect my wive's friends-lol) had spent the weekend at my casa in Vegas. I was convinced I had to go. I still haven't made it despite buying tickets twice and then giving them away, because of this or that.

One day I will make it and get to show Jason how a real man drinks and how nice I really am despite being one of the cafe's most hated...LOL!

I think an 02 thread is in order. I was there and it was fantastical. I think it was the one with the pit bike races behind the hampton? I hope I'm correct on that.

I wish. Man, do I need a break from my depressing situation right now, but I have no funds to finance my trip up there. I really will make it there one day. I will educate everyone on the finer points of good tequilas. And I will be the designated clown that everyone will talk about for years to come. Jason, homey, you have been warned...


LOL!

Have fun everyone!
