I say we start our own mountain biking hall of fame. I hereby nominate Dan Dickan, Chris Carleton, and PEX. And maybe Jon Mutiger too.
what about that dude who used to travel to races with Lars back in the day. He drove a molester van, had long black hair, smoked cigarettes like it was his job, and always listed 'toxic' as his sponsor?
he was a trip.

dude....mutiger is classic......i gotta get ahold of him....he moved to whistler and got married......last i knew, he had been racing 24 hour four man team harescrambles by himself with no team in semi pro class and getting on the podium.....that's impressive....

dan's ears are burning.....his brother got out of jail and lives with him now.....don't even get me started on that jive....hahahahahhahaah

we should all try and plan some sort of east coast reunion....get ahold of all the old school guys from a decade ago and all meet up for a raucous weekend at plattekill or mt. creek.......we could sling vodka soaked ground chuck at people
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Oh man, that is classic on so many levels. We've gotta do that.

I saw video footage of him going through yardsale, and I'm pretty sure it was faster and more out of control than any person to ever ride that section.
and you'll both recall the words he blurted to the masses going through.

"FUHKUN SHIETUH"

That was without a doubt the luckiest, most random day of the dude's life.

dude, dan could ride about any section of course just about as fast as anyone on the course....sometimes faster.....the problem was linking it together.....he was a headcase.....the year he won mount snow was the one time he put it together and made it all the way down the hill and only crashed once....

I can see it all now ... Mutiger's display would consist of his original Karpiel Disco, a photo of him trying to convince Monkey that he deserves a set of Missy Giove's spare tires, and a pair of his sweat pants, bronzed for all eternity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just wanted to let you fools now wazzup from a reel mountain. were at this internet cafe and its packed with bizziotches . Me and mIni Dickan got heer yestaday erly and road for hours yo Totally sick corse. To bad you all r too scared to leave the flatlands Ahahahahah pozers

Anyways, we road with a bunch of pros and pretty much slayed it with em. These pu$$ys took out the yardsale, but me and MD road it anyways it was sick yo All thes people were worried about us cuz we were slay it so fcking sick. They were like "yo, you guys got no buziness ridin this section, ur gunna get hurt" and "get off the corse before you kill urselfs" And we were like, "whatever, we're rockin it, and tonight we'll be nailin' ur girlfrinds " It was totally sick We ended up sleepen in the back of MD's dropped S10, which was OK till it rained on us, but watever, we'll hookup with SkaTodd today and get a place to crash. Or thers a big chance that we'll hookup with some hoes and just crash with them. Thers an HUGE ruumer goin round that teh National Champ, Dan Dickan, will be hear on race day to take the title again. How sick yo He doesnt even need to practice once and he'll still domanate. Pretty much everyone is talkin about it, and wen we say that we know him they just cant belive it. Ok, were gunna hed to the mountain and kill it for another day. YOu guyz have fun ridin ur croscuntry bikes hahahshhaha.

Here was the follow-up to that:

YO YO pozers Wanted to give a quik update before we heded back to gayville Michigun. Anywayz, NORBA SUCKS Yestaday we went to mountain and practise and this skank hoe tryed to jack us 10 chips for parken. We sez "fck you skanky hoe " and parked on the street. Practised all day, with all the top proes, and we slayed it east coaster style We pretty much won practise, so we heded back to MiniDickans truck and it was gone So that skank hoe that tryed to jack us sez "I called the copz cuz you too are so rood, and you cant park on the street" So those fcking copz toed our truck By the time we found out were it was it was too late to get it, so we had no place to sleep. We tryed hookin up with SkaTodd at his pro tent, but there were all these pozers hangin' out, probly tryin to get his audiograph. We did talk to this Sam dood from Austraylia, but I think he waz just a pozer tryin to poach all of SkaTodds glory.

Anywaz, all the hoes on the mounten were just nasty and not werth hookin up with, so we just stayed in this internet cafe all night and surfed porn. In the morning we went and got MD's truck out then went to do our race runs. That skank hoe was still there in the parken lot so we had to pay the 10 bucks, all in loose change - yah, f you NORBAS But it gets worse. Both me an MiniDickan got jacked in our race runs. We both slayed it Reprezunt New Jerzy yo In my run I only got pased by three doods, so I'm thinken, "sweet, forth place yo " and MD only got passed by two doods, so he's thinken "sweet, third place yo " We totally podiamed But then the ruzults get posted and we were the last two on the list No f'ing way you NORBA biotches We went up to the top dood and said "hey, pencil neck, you totally screwed us and NORBA sucks " We even told him that we now the national champian, Dan Dickan, and he acted like he never herd of him. What a loozer, he must be from Michigan. I think they wanted to mess with us for payin the 10 chips in change to that skank hoe in the parkin lot. We are who we are, a cuple of bad a$$ east coast mofos, and we aint changin for nobody.

Were headin to Jerzy now to kick with our boyz old skool. Cant' wait to tell them about the flat jumps in Michigan and about the loozer that rides a wooden bike Peace out turds.

The only thing I'll ever give credit to the Dan for is not having fingers long enough to reach a set of brakes. :brow:As for skill, turning ability, agility, endurance, fitness, finesse...fugg!!

Ian,

Bonazzi, Mortimer, Jonnier, they all rode for sintesi at one point, couple other chicks too, but can not remember names.

We know what Jonnier is doing. Mortimer just visited Llanes in cali and works for BCF I think. No idea on crazy Bonazzi.

What about the kid that would come into the dinner table at the hotel restaurant in Kaprun, with flowers in hand, hand written love letters, framed photos of EC and come in CRYING looking for EC. Then EC would oblige him and come out to greet him, and the kid looked like he just met Jesus.

Good times.

^ Ya, I feel bad for forgetting mom and pops name, but hella nice people.

Bill and Alison. Conor is 16 now, all grown up and riding 20" bikes all over the place these days. His skills have improved by lightyears and he's is nothing like you all remember. over 6 feet tall, no longer pudgy, more polite than many people i know, sometimes has a full beard, is laid back and fairly quiet . . . pretty much the total opposite of his previous self.

this is from his bro's annual x-mas party, he's the redhead sitting behind me (no i'm not sitting on his lap, i'm on the arm of the couch. but yes i'm drunk and i have wine in my hair).

great kid, and probably the most generous family i know.

Livin it up in the O.C.
I was out riding a local "OC" spot a while back and ran into Dave Cullinan (aka Cully). He is living here in Orange County and I believe that he is doing some product testing for GT. Think he rode the world masters last year as well.

Oh, and he still rips!!

ya i didn't even recognize him there. that's awesome he's still riding. i'll never forget the time i was standing in the lift line at mt snow with a friend of mine and he comes walking up and just starts drilling gracia with tons of questions out of nowhere lol gracia was really cool about it and i remember seeing him go out of his way to say hi to conor later in the day.

that's right......damn, you're like a downhill trivia bank......

i just remember seeing footage of them shredding at snoqualamie on some gnarly, rooty, slick off-camber, 180deg. hairpin left had drop/turn
ages ago and being blown away.....that course would still be considered pretty nasty today......that always left an imprint in my mind
