Alright, since this thread is picking back up again with more of the old General crew coming on board and Phil Finkle peeking the ol noodle in here, ‘m gonna throw in a few more memories….

So we get the crew back together and head up to Massachussetts. The shop we were heading to was more in the west central area of Mass, so we hightailed it up the NY border and rolled into the flea bite motel to stay the night.
We get up the next day and hit our destination.
To answer Erick’s question…yea that’s me in the cap during my “I think I’m Brian Johnson from AC DC stage”. The guys, now consisting of Roger Sullivan as well are shredding the course and I’m sitting there chilling. Kids start coming up to me and asking me for my autograph. I’m like WTF? Seems the kids thought I was R.L, which explained the weird looks when they looked at the signature.
Strangely enough one of our locals at CJ now, Rolando Carballo, busts my chops and calls me RL all the time, LOL.
So Jeff cruises past and says, Dude, all you gotta do is sit there and you get to sign autographs, we gotta go out and die in this heat to get people to want us to sign, LOL.
Yea, I was a real celebrity.
Gotta say though the guys always pushed it hard as they could during the shows.
I think we had one or two other uneventful shows in the New England area, hitting up the NH, Mass coast for a session with I think Darren Pelio but I can’t quite remember…
Good times though…

Oh, I do remember one funny moment when we all chilled at Brandon Morgan’s house and we all crashed downstairs.
His mom comes down the following morning and asks us, “Do you guys wear shoes all the time?”.
We’re all like yea….
She goes on to say that explains all the tan legs and pure white feet.
Nice.
Thanks to the Morgans for letting us smelly guys invade your home back then! LOL.

Let’s see I guess that pretty much concludes what I can remember from what went on during the 88 tour.
We had a bunch of team changes over the winter and it was a whole new world for 89. Which I think I will save for the new ver3 of brokenspokes.net at bmxnj.com.
See ya in a couple months.

Guys, anything you can add to this would be awesome!

Scott!
Dawg, that show was nucking futts! Jeff Mayer could have been a stunt man….

General felt like a little family of NY NJ freestyle nutjobs.
LOL, I have not thought of that night in a looooooooooong time…

[bmiddaugh]

We brought the freestyle influence out here,
we feed off each other’s ideas and progression.

Lou, that sounds like an idea for the spring, could use some flatland stuff for 08.

[bmiddaugh]

tell your friends, the place for BMX in New Jersey is….

bmxnj.com…put it in your browser….
when bs.net ver 3.0 comes out, the plan will come to fruition.

[bmiddaugh]

LMMFAO….
Yea, send ellis over, then we should get a pool together to send Rich over….

so he can beat him again just like the last time they both raced for a world title..

😆 😆

[bmiddaugh]

Won’t be there, any chance someone wants to contribute to the site?

[bmiddaugh]

You got it.

[bmiddaugh]

I will not be goaded into repeating things that have happened in the past.
Moving forward, yes the PA will be used at all state events.

[bmiddaugh]

It is the intention of us to use that PA whenever possible if allowed by the tracks that we are having an event at.
The PA was used at the state awards banquet and was a HUGE assett this year as everyone could hear what was going on.
With Kapigian coming back to announce a few events it may even sound better than it did at the end of the year…. —

[bmiddaugh]

fuck that bitches…

brokenspokes.net will make an official “bunnyhop champion” hoodie for the winners.

If it’s cool with Dave?

[bmiddaugh]

um…I’ll get them up on here.
Give me till tonight.
Ant left that to me to get on the web and I forgot about it.
Sorry.

[bmiddaugh]

One repaired acl, one cleaned out and missing.

A torn acl that is not completely tweaked should be able to be repaired by arthroscopy. Virtually painless.
If there is no real swelling then it probably isn’t that bad.
I always cringe when I see people straight leg land any jump..

Heal up brah.
