Sounds cool Craig…just pm me and make sure you tell me what percentage of the dollar goes to the cause and what percentage goes to admin costs…
We all know the deal with some “charities”.

I’m pretty f-ing flattered by that bro…
I may have to break out the tissues, hehe…
F-it, I’ll save the tears and work on getting some new sh*t going…

loud colors are coming back…right rod?

He really did, money aside that he owes my parents, …and I always put money to the side…he not only loved it, he believed in it, I’m sure it doesn’t surprise him at all that BMX is the big media thing on TV that it is now.
It was rough there man, there was NO MONEY to keep that place going and yet he did it for 3 years.
I’d say he was ahead of his time.

LOL, man where could that guy squeeze a kid out…
Rod, does any municipality up near High Gear have a ramp park open? I’m just curious…if not maybe you and High Gear should start pushing…

Different people have different views….I would NEVER say Dave was an…well what you said…
Everyone here may remember Ramp-ateria was BEHIND TC’s, he also gave me permission to hold the FIRST street and flat contests in our area at his shop…
JF’s was a decent shop, but I never remember him taking those risks and let me tell you for a small business owner they are risks, we got sued a couple times by overzealous parents.
Dave was rough on those he deemed “posers” and no, I didn’t agree with everything he did BUT I will never say anything other than that about him, well that and I wish he would have paid my parents back the grand he loaned them…but life goes on.
Believe it or not Dave did a lot for freestyle in our area and took a lot of risks and got 0 reward for it.
He loved freestyle and truly believed in it….
I do wonder though why Plainfield doesn’t have a public ramp park yet, because I hear Dave is in charge of recreation there now…

Now does anyone have something to say about that clown who ran the ramp-park there?

And General….man on manoshevitz…General…
Get ready…

So we roll into this shop on the outskirts of Washington DC for our last show before we head back to homebase in NJ, which by the way at that last stop in NJ would lead to meeting a couple of guys who had unbridled enthusiasm for BMX and would help keep things alive in the dead years…
Anyway, me and I believe it was Brandon are in the shop talking to the owner when we hear a loud ARGH HHHHHHHHH come from the parking lot…well it seems Jeff Air Mayer had just tweaked his ankle attempting a 540 practicing for the show. Freak out time as we now had NO ramp rider for that shop and had to chill on the price of the show… I was bummed that Jeff was hurt but pissed at him at the same time…dang it! Couldn’t ya wait till we got back to NJ and got Roger Sullivan back on the tip…Just kidding…Anyway we plodded through our two shows and packed up for the at that time short 4 hour ride to NJ.
I got to sleep in my own bed for the first time in 2 months and awaited the next day’s show in nearby South Plainfield NJ at the new TC Cycles Bike Shop, a name that would become infamous on the NJ scene in the coming 4 years…
