yeah, they pulled the pin out and cut the cast(and almost my wrist) off today.....it looked like my arm was stolen from a morgue......i have to wear a gay brace for 3 weeks.......i think i'm going to be off the bike for longer than i thought......i should have a bionic thumb when all is said and done though.....i'm down to shoot photos, shuttle and hang out yo....let me know if you cruise down.....i think you are due for a surf soon too.....
I have an SUV of some kind rented for the week with unlimited mileage, so i should be able to get around.
I just remembered where it was, it was at Attitash, probably the summer of '99.
That's funny.
Update: Orlando has been racing most of the SoCal DownHILL races this winter/spring on a '04 Turner. Stylin' for the crowd as always.
I think he is a ski instructor during winter, not sure about that.
i saw him flying around the dh course at woodward west this past weekend.
BU Dave! What's up man!? Give me a shout sometime.
Gunther randomly showed up at some Mt Snow races the year before this past. He was on a fresh stock IH Sunday. Still was pinning it.
Pumpkin Head! Hahaha, I had forgotten all about him. I was racing up at Snowshoe for one of the National races back in '02 or '03 when I met him. I must've been about 15 at the time and he latched onto my friends and I and NEVER stopped with the questions, and every time he'd see us after that he'd come up with more questions.
Steve Geall is pretty much out of the limelight now, he owned a clothing company called smothering club and an mtb frame company for a while called G-bikes where he sponsored ollie and chopper fielder but that's all gone under. Im guessing he spends his time riding bmx these days
Fig lives across the street from me here in Flag, got around to riding DH bikes a few times last year... till some A##HOLE broke into his garage and stole 4 bikes.
You have achieved MTB Legend stalker status. It's only a matter of time before they find the files on your hard drive to wrap up the conviction.
^^ That is an awesome link. Check out some of those results:
Connor Lockwood, hear he still rides some BMX and sings in a hardcore band. His mom made the best cookies. "Any one seen my Eric Carter gloves?"
Minichase ran him away from the sport forever.What ever happened too.... Seth Lolli? He had is own SuperLight model and everything
True story! After meeting kids from Foxboro I was scared for life...now Piper/minichase/Lewis and I go on mini bike datesMinichase ran him away from the sport forever.
That dude was an absolute animal. Back in 04/05, I was in the upper parking lot at Sunday River and saw him take about 3 big pedal strokes and then bunny hop that BMW/Avalanche beast - LENGTHWISE - over a refrigerator that was laying on its back. For a minute I thought it was Chuck Norris.
In all fairness to Seth, he wasted a good 20 seconds each race run trying to obtain Max Vert on every hump and bump on a course. Remember the V rock at Snowshoe listening to John P and the whole Evil crew screaming for him. He hucked some retarded height straight up, then "pop". Then "Awwwwwww!" from the Evil crowd. Bummer, but funny.Minichase ran him away from the sport forever.
