Oh wow, I was there, don;t remember my handle, Loved the Florida dudes, Became great friends with RC16 and rm250guy, and teggers.  Teggers and I tried to do something when RC16 got hurt, although RC16 came with lots of drama.  Sparred much with Bauer and TFS and bushwood in the day (great fun), I was the first to seize on the moniker "slackers" (called us by TFS himself).  Loved it, we were the slackers.  Met TFS at Washougal back in early 2000's.  Also, dude from Phoenix (?), XmikeX, appleman, Remember when EIDave announced himself, didn;t like him much.  I recall a norcal guy who moved to Nevada (fernley?), cant recall his name? Lots of philosophy back in the day beyond SX/MX.  People revealed themselves. Punks were exposed fairly quickly.  Lots on insiders as it was in the early, early days of on-line forums.  Hated GuyB, a real douche bag.  He bought into the corp line and ruined Mikeeep (why?).    My most memorable moment was a sparing session between Mikeep, RC16 and Bauer/TFS.  Back in those days you didn;t have logins or identities.  You just signed your posts as will.  At one point, the RC16 vs Bauer/TFS conflab was off the hook.  I remember posting "Do you guys know how ridiculous you sound" and signed it "DC".  OMG, everyone immediately calmed down and and couldn;t kiss the ring fast enough, I was shocked.  Anyway, it was lots of fun back in Mikeep days.  Sad to hear RC16 and Mikeep have passed, makes me sad.

 

Some familiar names in there and you wrote twice Bauer/TFS. Those are not the same guy in the event that’s what you were thinking by not separating them by a comma.  EID was a little more laid back back then but seemed to get grumpy as he aged.  XMikeX gave people fits and Volbass was a pretty funny dude akin to the early days of Peelout here.  Good times.  Would spend my breaks and all of lunch everyday catching up on the Fresh Dirt.

I knew both TFS and Bauer and you are correct, they are not the same guys.  Back in those days, they (bauer/tfs) were indistinguishable in the bushwood vs slacker wars.  LOL. We all loved sparing, insiders vs the rest of us. all lovers of all things mx/sx racing.  Some with lots of history.  Some (like me) just fans.  Ive been to many many hangtowns as a kid and a fan.  I raced, but not well.  I remember lining up next to DC at hangtown amatuer day.  I realized what a putz I was, these guys were legit.  I raced Hodakas, suzukis, bultacos, and the yamaha 125s, they were the bomb when announced,  I was a regular at the Cupertino motorcycle shop, I recall when the first water cooled Honda 125's came out, WOW!
