Basically, 56 days till Rockford and who's rolling into town again? So far, we have the following:

Dansharo - I imagine he's going directly from his carwash to Rockford stopping every 100 miles to get his truck washed and pack a new lip of chew.

Chip - He's been training for Rockford by doing 12 oz can curls.

Deno - Still practicing his post Rockford '06 drawl, lol.

Bob'O & crew - solid crew.

DJ - 4th year in a row?

Donvader - 3 in a row? Looking forward to checking out what he's bringing.

Big Lou - Missed last year, but heard he hasn't picked the paint for his new 60's ride. Expect him to paint it Thursday morning & drive it up wet hand sanding/buffing the driver's door whilst driving till he reaches Illinois. (still can't believe the bike he found and may bring!).

Eric H - Iron driver solo from NJ. 3 in a row?

Pep - Still looking for '84 Master fork decals, haha.

Ironhide - keeping a low profile as of late, but has a master project in the works.

Humidity - bringing the rarest stem in freestyle?

Tenn. crew - All they need is a Trans Am for their haul.

Anyone making there first trip? Rob, Axle, Bedlam, BrianP, Sean G, Julio, Viz, etc...?

The Cleveland Crew will be there.Theres 4-6 of us,90% freestyle bikes.Of course,four of mine are far from being ready.One is`nt even chromed yet,one more is still getting repaired,the other two[both SE`s] havent been powdered yet. I have a visit to the anno shop planned for next week.As of right now,were planning on bringing close to twenty or so bikes.We have to use my enclosed car trailer this year becouse of the amount of bikes.Plus my one buddie has some NOS goodies that he`s going show[hint....its another SE]. This will be our third year,but for one of the guys with us,it will be his first time.I told him to be prepaired for BMX/freestyle overload

My hotel is booked.

2nd timer, and bringing my family with this year. Plus two bikes, I think. Maybe three but I doubt I'll make the skatepark session, as much as I'd like to. I'll probably be sticking with the girls most of the time.
Chevron Envy
Wow, I can't believe it's that close again. I can't wait for this years festivities.

Tobin - y'all right ya Yankee?! Roomie from last year!

Chip - man, I haven't talked to you in FOREVER! We need to catch up - I've talked to Big Paul more than you!

Bob O - my partner in crime for the weekend. Also my accomodations and taxi for Thursday night. I owe you BIG for this one my friend.

Dan - may Bob's (Haro) life force keep things timed right for your attendence.

Pep - I need to have a few more beers with you this time around and shoot the *(&*!

Roger - I sure hope you and Jeremy can make it again this year. No excuses!

Tom - it will be good to see and hang with you again this year.

Mikkopeters - I need to have beers with you, I think you have some stories to tell me (just a hunch).

Brian P - I know you'll be there is spirit, next year the date will allow you to attend (is the rumor).

Rob - I sure hope you're planning on coming this year. It would be good to hang with you for a few hydrolic sandwiches!

Anyone that I forgot to mention, I'm sorry. I hope to meet a lot of new people this year. For you first-timers you'll have a freakin' BLAST. I promise you.

Mike

Chevron Envy
OH, and how could I forget - I see Mark everywhere I go when there's BMX involved.
humidity saC
Yes James, I'll be there and so will the "rarest stem in freestyle." The CW is coming along really well. I am having the stem re-anodized black like it was originally. It should look as good as new.

I'm also planning on bringing the '84 Master survivor since Bob will be there. Just those two for freestyle. I'll be bringing 3 BMX bikes too.

What hotel is going to be the hot place after the
banquet?

saC
Haro#7

Mark
twintoptuber
50 days to go!
dan restro
maybe next year for me,just had a hip replacment so setting all the airport alarms of state side could be a week in jail.
rcrscott29
Chevron Envy - you mentioned next years dates, do you have some insider info? Is it finally NOT going to be on Fathers Day? Thats what always kills it for me.

humidity saC - do you still need some help with the decals on that CW? I replyed to your pm a while ago and haven't heard back.
LMK
Hal
I dont know where mention of next years dates are but, seeing that I do the planning for this event, I would not hold stock in anything you hear unless it comes from me, Rick or Bill C.

Rockford is Rockford and the national in Rockford always falls on Fathers day weekend.
King of Pipeline
I'll be there. Last year I drove from Minnesota alone, and it was worth every minute.. Just a great time. Can't wait.. KOP will be in the house!
eric hestermann
hey james, yup i should be there, iron driver solo from nj trip # 3, hope it goes smoother than the last 2, i should be hooking up with tanker kranker, i think were going to stay at the clock tower, should be a blast again......
Paul Springer
James & Eric, I am psyched to see what your bringing to rockford. I will be there with some MN newbies. It will be great to see you guys again...
Brian P
??????????????????????????????????
mikkopeters
RIGHT ON I'LL BE THERE!!!
This year is going to be rad, talk about a year for freestyle!
We'll be down on Thursday w/ Springer and Rod (aka snakebite) and ready to hang out! I already have my backpack, stickers and cooler packed!

Chevron, I have about 37 stories to tell this year, all of them true. Most take place around 8th street in Moorhead MN. Dan knows where that is.

This year is going to be great! Please stop me and say hey! Or look for the MN Faction tent! HsAc, you better be ready to hang! Can't wait to see what everyone had built! Will C4 have a man standing post like last year???

James, looking forward to seeing you too! Well sorta...

I will miss the Clocktower. "Excuse me miss, will you hold the door so we can get this keg in?"
Blue_Max
i'd like to go this year for the first time but transportation would be a issue for me

No, I apologize, I thought I remembered Hal saying the dates could change in future years. That's all.

Oh yeah, it will be good to see everyone again this year!

Beers a plenty! Gulp, gulp!
akcuda

This should be pretty cool. I will be there with Blyther and hopefully Mike D. Cant wait to meet all of you. I am going to bring one of my old bikes but nothing as clean as the bikes ive seen some of you build. mine are all pretty original. I did talk to Fiola also and he told me that he might be going he is working on something about a sponsor sending him out there?
