Probably either Ryan Sipes jersey from southwick this year, or Deanos 2nd moto goggles that he autographed from Unadilla last year.

I got a pair of Mark "The Bomber" Barnett's Fox riding paints he threw out the back of his box van after the second moto of the 1981 Hangtown classic. Which he won both motos by over a minute.

But my most treasured items are my autographed pictures of my three heros (Bad Brad Lackey, Roger DeCoster and Joel Roberts).
I'll give you $50 for the Barnett pants!

When i was training Kyle Cunningham, he had Ozzys son, who's very artistic, customize a pair of Vans for me as a christmas present. Very cool gift from a real good kid.
Cheers,
Pip.

I dont know if you would call this "memorabilia" or not, but i still have this bitchen pair of Oakleys from back in my Pilot racing days. My best friend rode for them and he used to kick me down all sorts of cool shit that you couldnt "buy" back then.

A couple of years ago, when Cole Siebler was on the Wyvern team, he heard I wanted to go to MMI, so he volunteered for me to come hang in the Semi all day to see how I liked it. I got to do everything with the team, and it was over all a very neat experience.

Jeff Ward tossed me his Oakley goggles after he crossed the finish line at his last outdoor national at Budds Creek. Somehow my dog got ahold of them like 10 years ago. I still have them but they are a little chewed and all the foam gone Sad

A coworker of mine got Travis Pastrana's champagne bottle from Daytona several years back. He just handed it over and my friend still has it today on his mantle...

This year at Indy SX James Stewart signed a Red Bull hat for me and I didn't even have VIP passes just regular seats. He is awesome with the fans and always has that big grin on his face. Great dude.

Greg Albertyns Bieffe kidney belt. We were talkin to him after that orange snow fence got in his rear wheel and ruined his day and he just said "Hey want a kidney belt?" . Yeah i know its Bieffe. But still cool.

A handshake from Jeff Stanton. I wont share the reason here, but he just walked up and stuck his hand out for me to shake at Thunder Valley a few years ago. I still havent washed it. Haha.

Mike Alessi's throttle tube off his factory Suzuki. At the Denver national last year I got six front fenders from various factory riders and had them all signed, then went and sat outside the pit gates and gave them away to little kids as they walked by.

I got a hat signed by Shane Watts when I was a kid, then I was on a ferry and walked up to the top deck and the wind ripped it off my head and away it went into the sea. I was pissed, punched the exhaust tower thing of the ship... turns out they are pretty solid.

I have Mike Craig's rear sprocket, but he didn't give it to me - I took it out of a trash can in the pits.

The three coolest things I've got was Indy SX this year I was wearing my old school JS259 Fox pink and zebra stripped replica jersey in the pits and someone was saying something to me as I was taking a picture of Shorty's bike and it was Alessi he said "man that's an old school jersey and was laughing" so I got to talking to him and Kelly his mechanic who were both really cool and then he went inside the KTM rig and came out and said I got a jersey for you and autographed it which was awesome of him to do. And back in I believe 2005 or 2006 Indy SX I had a sign that said Stewart throw your goggles here (was pretty young at the time) and he ended up winning his heat race and on the podium he saw my sign and walked over and gave me his goggles he wore during that race which was awesome still have the tear offs on them lol. I got RV2's front finder at Red Bud this year and he autographed it for me which was sweet too. I have some other stuff but those are probably the coolest things

That's a great story about a great rider. At Washougal several years ago, I was watching Saturday qualifiers and hooked up, along side the fence, with a kid who was cheering for his buddy Cole. Nice people in moto.


Our buddy hooked us up with vip's at a San Francisco SX. Luckily, it was RC's last year and from the press box, got this pic of him looking right at us.





(shitty pics but, the empty box a few down was full of beers w/no one to drink them except us...lofl)



my buddy Jeff "humtercarrot" had to prove he's shorter than Ricky.

I got Micky Diamonds boots at Millville in 1985, he signed them and gave them to me after I asked for a jersey. He said he was out of them so I got his sweaty boots instead.

Definitely crabs. When you nail someone's old lady occasionally he gets the last laugh.

It was a gift that I probably regifted? It kept on giving that's for sure.

A smile on my son's face.

Let me splain.....

We were at Gravity Games in 1999 when my son was 4.
Standing behind the fence where the freestyle course had the ex-ups for the riders and every once in a while they would come over and sign autographs.
My son was a HUGE Pastrana fan at the time, I think it was his last name more than anything else at first.....lol.

Of course when Travis came over it got crowded quick and I had put my son up on my shoulders to keep him from getting stepped on and so he could maybe get an autograph.
Standing right next to the fence my son takes off his hat and is holding it out for Travis to sign which he does and goes to hand it back to my son....at which point some teenage/early 20's asshole grabs it right out of his hands and books off through the crowd.

Travis looks at my kid and says "Don't worry little guy"...takes off his own Suzuki hat, signs it and hands it over to my son and says "OK hold on tight", which he did......death grip style.

My sons smile for the rest of that day.......Priceless
