Came across this in the f-book. Thought it was a good read tis the season :beer:

VMB members (and observers),

I'd like to apologize for my sometimes abrasive posts. Those who know me well understand it's often an attempt at humor although I realize it doesn't always come off that way (nor is it always intended that way).

I don't hate VMB nor do I have a vendetta against the club. VMB has done many good things and has many great members. I've donated money to VMB since I often haven't been able to donate time.

I've been very discontent with many things VMB for a while now. I've often dealt with it by trolling and generally ignoring the issues.

finally got around to putting a little clip together from when james and i went to trex about 2 weeks ago. going to have to film some more now that a lot of dozer has been enhanced! great work dave, everything looks awesome!! :thumbsup:

Kind of a spin-off from one of my replies in the Crooked Trail thread, but thinking back on my early days of riding off-road, I started thinking about the bikes I rode then (first a hand-me-down BCA Rocky, then a Haro Escape with a Girvin Flex-stem - both from my brother) and the bikes that were lust-worthy at the time.

We are taking nominations for sixtels- we'll probably buy three. :beer:
Nominate your favorite then we will take a poll for the top three.
Preferably something that can be purchased at Tanczos'

This is a time to get together and have fun. (insert "stress free" emoticon here)
In an effort to party responsibly, the basement is available if anyone needs to stay over, or for awhile, whether it's due to being tired, not eating enough, excess partying, etc...

Beer nominations will be open for three days, then the poll will be open for three days.
Thanks!
