wow, that time of year again. keep us posted ed
and im contacting you now for a vendor spot also, and im sure ill have a few things for the raffle table

This is going to be in Lowell, IN? I might be able to make it. Sounds like fun, not much going on otherwise in the Midwest in February. I actually got a package last week with a Freedom BMX pamplet. Can't remember exactly what it came with or who sent it to me.

Is there going to be a scooter class . I'm thinking a trick star scooter?

I will be there Ed....this will make #7 for me I believe.

Uh oh Tim...I have a 70's themed full suspension scooter with a banana seat in the works...

I'm already trying to get off work so I can make it for the fourth consecutive year.

I'm thinking of building a Stu Redline Replica with some double pinch flights; it'll be awesome

dirt floor?

Hell, Joilet????

I gotta get off my arse and get down for this one. maybe +1 with the grom.

cool Ed.

Another BMX reason to visit good'ol Joilet. I have my RSVP in on Facebook. and it will be good to finally meet you in person Ed. I have already started saving my pennies.

Do we NEED to RSVP, Ed?

It's usually a pretty last minute descision for me.

No res. required to show.

If you plan on selling or vending please contact me for a reserved spot and tables.
