No news is good news?
Again, I haven’t updated for a while. I suck. I’ll just fill you in on a few things that have happened recently.
In the Michigan city area, Cameron and David are having some interference with their riding. A couple of weeks ago, Cameron got hurt riding the track and hurt his shoulder. He’s back to riding, but says its pretty sore and, “I pulled like everything you can pull in my shoulder.” Hope Cam get back to full force soon.
David called me today and asked if I had any Profiles for sale, as he snapped his Fly cranks. Nice one on this Fly! I remember people breaking their Fly cranks back in the day, and supposedly they solved the problems since then. I guess not. Check the carnage below. Or check every BMX message board, you can find countless threads about broken Fly cranks.
And Steve started his job as a Union Sprinkler Fitter.
In NWI/Lansing news, Collin is back to shredding. We rode Whiting the other night, and got booted in 23 minutes. Exactly. All while we had the place to ourselves, and had no pegs. According to the park district worker, “the police don’t know that, and the park isn’t made for bikes, it’s the wrong type of concrete.” Glad I took part of that survey, Whiting! Let us into your park now!
In other NWI/Lansing news, Cal City is dry and shreddable. Its better than Lansing or Munster, so get up there and shred.
I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to ride with anyone from Lansing again with work/school/whatever schedules. Maybe we can all ride at Krush when it starts snowing, that always seems to get guys together.
Non BMX related, but there was a fire at Benchwarmers sports bar on Ridge Road in Lansing, and smoked out the neighborhood for a bit. Could this have been Alleycat or “I’m small because I’m Candadian” trying to burn away their wonderful memories in the back of this place? Who knows.
I know alot of you check The Come Up fairly often, and if you do, you will have seen the first ever fakie to frontflip. Thanks to MomentumBMX on The Come Up Board for posting the link.
In Chicago Heights news, I know that Jeremy, Billy, and Eddie rode Michigan City today with The Champ. Jeremy has been working like crazy at school, hopefully he gets more time to shred very soon.
I don’t have much else to say. Tomorrow is supposed to be 70 degrees, so get out and ride in one of the last warm days of the year. Will we get an Indian Summer? Only time will tell.
