Jasons presentation was cool, always nice to hear about someone who raced bitd. Raffle was great alot of nice stuff. Dions collection of 70's bikes is out of this world. His scrambler w/the moto mags is crazy. Saw alot of really nice stuff. Nick, if ya ever wanna part w/that stroker lmk.

Thank you everyone that came out. The show was amazing! Jason did a great job with his presentation and slideshow. And as always The Chicago Flatlanders put on a great show for everyone. With as big as the show has gotten we could not do this alone. Many folks stepped up and helped out...THANK YOU!!!!

Ed works hard on this show and like I said at the banquet, many months of planning go into each show every year.
By obtaining the sponsors, he is able to keep it free to show bikes and free to sell your goods. And every year you guys step up and buy tickets to eat, buy raffle tickets, and buy shirts. All this helps pay for the hall, food, awards and whats left helps us open the track each year...Thank you guys!

And Nick, with your "SHAKE THE BOX" that is too funny! Everytime she did YOU won!!LOL
My favorite part of the raffle was the reaction that came from Eric Rothfahn when he won the SE Quadangle frame. That was great!
Thank you agian to everyone that attended and supported the show! I hope everyone enjoyed the food, raffles, shows, and was able to buy/trade for the parts you were looking for.

Ed still has a few shirts left if anyone didnt get one, just email him.

Thanks agian,
MaryJane

just wanted to add my annual thank you as well, to ed and all who put their efforts into making this another great event ! thanks also to all the sponsors (especially red bull ! lol. yeah, i won the framed mike day poster, and i was very stoked to get it !) only one ticket pull away from that killer ripper, but i was really happy to see the young man riding it around that did win it ! the location was great (any closer to me is a plus !) the food was very good, and i really appreciated jason putting together his presentataion, and to see alot of the old midwest tracks in the pictures he had.
to all the midwest guys that showed up and brought out their bikes, HUGE APPLAUSE !! the turnout and quality of bikes was tremedous this year. there were so many quality bikes and builds it literally made trying to select a best in show a very tough choice ! good to see all of you again, see you in four months ! craig/vettefan

I'm still traumatized by 'that one picture' in Jason's slideshow with the guy unzipping his pants in the background!

Thank You to everyone who came out it wouldnt be a show with out you .A big shout out to our sponsors : Porkchop bmx ,Fancy diamonds, Se bikes, UNI seats, M&D plates, Bullseye, Rockstar, Vans shoes, Redbull, Vintage Bmx, Pepsi, MBB Bike shop and every one else listed below. A HUGE thank you to our volunteers who helped with the show. All the bake sale items were appreciated and a special thank you to Jason, Jennifer and Jamie for all there work in preparing for the show. Last count there was 148 bikes registered to show and close to 250 bikes walked thru the door. Jasons presentation was excellent Great pictures and Great storys to tell.

2010 oldschool show

in my opinion, this was the best bike in the entire place....and there were TONS to choose from.
GREAT show!

Wish I could have been there, looked like a great time and sweet bicycles!

Each to their own for "Best" and a couple of questions: ^^^

Did the Z frame/fork, CW bars, stickers, and pad set come factory blue like that?
Real Comp III tires?
Original finish on the cranks/spider?

Winners photos posted: oldschool show 2010

Huge thanks to Ed for the shirt hook up. Not much else I can say besides ed and Freedom BMX are top notch in my book. Really appreciate it and it tells me that there are still some really good guys left in this hobby. I know I'm not around as much anymore, but I never forget those folks who are good guys are take care of eachother.

I tip my hat to you sir.

pep

We all missed ya there Pep. We may have to start referring to these events as "The search for Brian Hayes and PEP!"

Hope every ones sporting there new shirts !

A funny story i read from another site was Austin won the give away bike with some one elses ticket...lol.. The story i read was a guy was leaving and couldnt stick around for the raffle so he divided up his tickets with all the kids running around and told them good luck.... Nick just bought him a race bike too....I hope he enjoys it ! A lot of sponsors went in to build this bike and it looked awesome ! Thanks again for every ones help with it.

The tickets where not mine guys Glad to see nicks heard get larger as he is trying to make it smaller

MISS YOU PEP Really sucked not being at your place this year kinda depressing
