The kids stood in the autograph signing line for over an hour and a half, but was well worth the wait.

Unfortunately not, I'd really really love too. I used my photography budget this month on a motel room (normally stay in cabins) and printing new brochures.

If you go, take photos!

Hey scott411, what was the key to getting through that woodchip stuff, would think you would have to try and keep the front wheel skipping across the top and not to let it diggin. or is it just Oh shit here we go again and rely on luck to get through.

it was pretty hard to get though their, i got as far back on the bike as i could and tried to find a rythem though their doubling what i could, the section in the middle with the table top was the hardist, their was a sharp jump at the beginning of the section that did not let you carry any speed into the section and then the mounds in the middle where huge, Josh Cody and Stefan must be hugley strong to carry the line they where though thier as the bike was consistantly moving around
