Big Bad "Bobby Woods" just e-mailed he would be going!

Also:
Remember the price of Tickets and the Money raised from the silent Auction go to the BMX Scholarship Program!

"Hollywood" Mike Miranda is in! Just received his ticket confirmations.

Johan, Ritz and the UCI crew are in!

Donny Atherton's in the house!

Don and Ryan Crupi are going if I can ever get Don to sort out his account with Pay Pal... Grrrrr!

Anyone ever try to walk someone through setting up a Pay Pal account? 2 hrs on the phone with Don already tonight!

Ok, now for the not famous people going. I'll start Me.... Who else?

Should be lots of fun

Reilley1

No way your missing this!

See ya bro!

Gary

Oh Yeah. what about the bikes?

Don Crupi is in the house!

Great thing to see BMX in Racer X online. We probably wouldn't see BMX on this site without Jeremy getting inducted. Good read and good for BMX all around. Pretty cool seeing Jeremy holding up his old VDC Jersey.

I am leaning towards flying down, but don't want to be the only lurker. Who else is going?

Why not Ben. You made it to the Arizona gathering and I assume you enjoyed yourself. This is just like that only on steriods.

30 years ago this would have been a room full of egos, but now-a-days it will just be a bench racing euphoric free for all.

Come on down...

Fred Blood will be in da house! Question is, will he bring his roller skates.

Tickets bought, hotel booked, ready to lurk.

Good to hear Ben. I will try not to make eye contact while you are lurking.

That would be so rude.

http://www.sesandiego.com/ is the fun Dennis. Jump your bike in the pool and I will not make contact other than a high five.

I built this 6 years ago. The God Father has protected it. I'd love it to be shown.

The Freestyle Brigade will be in full effect!

Brian Blyther
Rich Sigur

Last day for tickets is September 9th! Still a few left, but it looks to be heading to a SOLD OUT event!

I can't wait to see everyone!

Anyone up for golf Wednesday or Friday? Wednesday is my birthday and I always play golf on that day so if you want to play let me know. On Friday, I may play with PK and one of his buddies at some place where you have to wear a hawaiian shirt. I think we need one more for Friday.

cashgolf@aol.com

PK and Giant have put up a nice MTB bike for the Silent Auction!

And

PK has been riding and a BMX Membership to race is in the mix.

For those that have not seen him, He is still in great shape.
