Fun Times indeed .
I recently got to Judge the Pro comp @ the fight with flight contest in Indianapolis. This photo was taken @ the comp. I am going to take this opportunity to thank Jake Jackson and James Newton for making this an event to remember. I have zero idea how these two guys pulled it off in such a short time, but It ROCKED. To all of the younger flatlanders out there enjoy these times, there are no promises as to how many times something this cool will happen this close to home. Keep Pushin'. L8r, Joe

Too much fun.
I recently attended the Red Bull Fight with Flight contest in Indianapolis. I entered the amatuer class and bombed big time. However, I rode well the entire wekend other than my 2 minute run. As I thought about it, I have decided to ride in the pro class from now on. The reason I made this decision is this, either you pull your stuff or you don't. I am not making this decision because I think that I am better than anyone. It's because I've ridden pro @ several comps years ago and I feel the amatuer class is for the youth, our future.I may not compete again until later this year, but when I do, the pro class is where I'll be. Some will talk smack, but my real friends will be supportive. L8r, Joe

Good energy begets good energy.
I am writing this because My good friend and talented flatland rider Daniel Burnett left me a message on myspace thanking me as well as other Indy locals for having encouraged and supported him. The thing about this message that sticks in my mind is Daniel said that he wanted to do well, and show us he has what it takes. Well Dan, not only do you have what it takes, but you always have. Guys like Chris, Andy, Alan, and myself do not hang with you and Scott because you can do certain tricks on your bike. We hang with you guys because you are our friends and always will be, wherever life takes you. So Dan, congrats on doing such a GREAT job @ the contest. As for Me, I was proud to call you a friend well before any of this. Keep on riding little bro. See you soon. L8r, Joe
