From Chip's phone, "Great news, surgery went great and the Dr. said the pelvis is in perfect position and they expect him to try to walk sooner than expected!!!!" Just wanted to let our MX brothers know the great news. Thanks

There has been a lot of talk on our local news stations about the X-Games coming to the Charlotte, NC area. Personally, I couldn't care less but I'm sure the local businesses would welcome it.

Tell the doctors to use titanium only and none of that heavy steel. After all, you are still a motocrosser!! RIDE ON #28!!!

You ought to see some of the Craigslist adds around western North Carolina. Some are just unreadable. I personally know a few people that own successful businesses that read and write on a 4 grade level. Really sad.

He is training and it wouldn't surprise me if he showed up at the MEC in October.

Operation expected sometime this week and he is still upbeat about his situation. His spirit is amazing.

I remember Jones goggles. I believe they were a sponsor during the early years at Loretta's. I am pretty certain I have a bib from LL's in '83 with their logo on it.
