I got this one of Jay Miron at Interbike 2002. I remember he was stoked to see this magazine. He talked about how Woodward has changed since this photo, and also that he didnt' even have hair on his balls yet.

I got the one of Todd Walkowiak at a contest in 2002. I remember he was with a group of riders, and when I handed him the magazine to sign he said "See, somebody knows who I am ?". Great guy.

Yeah, whenever KOP and I go somewhere, the riders ALWAYS stop and spend at least 5 minutes looking through the magazines he brings. Most of the time KOP has 3 -5 magazine covers he wants the rider to sign, so it can take up to 20 minutes for these guys to look through them all. Usually, all the other riders are looking for pictures of themselves as well..."hey, there *I* am!", someone will shout out loud.

Man, talk about a great ice breaker!

ive got quite a few autographs from quite a few riders when i went to the dew tour in san jose last year. most of them are on a shirt that i bought there and also at the autograph booths that they had when they were taking donations for the hurricane relief. ive got dennis mccoys,dave mirra,john parker,allen cooke,chad kagy,jay miron,ruel erickson,jamie bestwick,ryan nyquist,scotty cramer,ryan guettler, and buck lasik who we ran into in the festival. they were all cool guys and they were happy to sign them. i wish i got hugos when i saw him there.

So my buddy and I were out drinkin. We left the club and had to take a leak. A tour bus looked like the proper thing to pee on... big round tires. Low and behold Dexter Holland and Noodles (The Offspring) come walking out to the bus. They had just finished a show. We got to talk with them for a few minutes and get their autograph. Then the big guys they were with started to pick out chicks that had gathered in the crowd and they had to go. I wonder what goes on in those things? Cool dudes!

I had a white stem pad that I got signed by Buff, Dizz, and Ceppie at a CW show in '85 or '86. I wish I knew what happened to it.

Next time I go to my parents' house in Chicago, I'm diggin' through some boxes for sure!

Here is DMC signing my Hoffman Bikes Shirt back in the early 90's:



I got signatures from DMC, Hoffman, Swope and Thorne at that show (Florida State Fair). I hung out with them for a little while in the "lounge" of Hoffman's rig. Pretty cool memories. Great bunch of guys.

Another plate I had signed from the Boom Boom Huck Jam 2005. Mat Hoffman, Chad Kagy, Rick Thorne, Dennis McCoy and Kevin Robinson. Kevin was way stoked on the old school. I was wearing an old Hutch shirt and he said he noticed it right away.

Stricke has the most awesome autograph Haro plate of all time. Post it Stricke!
STRIKE
I'll have to take some new pics of it, I don't know where the other shots went.

Yeah, I have it signed by a lot of people, front and back, there's no more room for signatures! LOL
COASTY
This plate was signed by Bob haro in 81 or 82. regretfully I sold the whole bike with the plate still attached. It had graphites on it too! $250 aus !!!!
