I had an awesome time at the jam. I wasn't around during the AFA days, but everyone at the jam was super cool to me even though I was a relative unknown to most. Can't wait to crash another one!

I too want to add what a wonderful time I had at this event, it was truly magical! I felt a little outdated with my bikes and my tricks but everyone seemed to enjoy seeing both! Many thanks to Dan, Randy and everyone else who organized this event, I hope we can do more get togethers!!! I sure was cool seeing all of you again!!

I feel the same Josh. Realized that it doesn't matter how old you are or what tricks you're doing. We all came together to do what has, and obviously still is such a big part of our lives! Everyone had a great time just riding their bikes and hanging out with friends and family. Isn't that what it's all about?

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who put this jam together. This has been the best event I've been to in a really long time. I'm so glad I made it down to reconnect with old friends and to meet some new ones. This jam has given me a renewed interest in flatland, since I've pretty much been coasting the last few years due to it not being that much fun anymore. But after Saturday, I'm reinvested, Thanks again for everything guys...

Well what can I say about this weekend? What a blast! So many cool people and sweet bikes. I loved seeing the old school bikes and mid/new school bikes being ridden together and so many great tricks being pulled. The "school" thing is getting out of hand, really! It's all freestyle, right?! It was really great to meet so many awesome riders and just plain good people. I have so much to learn with riding and it was real motivating to see the stuff you guys were doing. I want to say a big thanks to Randy, Dan, the Solon Bike shop, and all the other people who put this together, and also to Marty for letting us PA guys crash at his house for 3 days. I hope to see many of you guys again soon! Anyone who's interested, keep your eyes peeled for the 1300 Fall Jam in Lancaster, PA. Myself or Tony Strickler will post a date for it. Should be late Sept/Early Oct.
Later!!

Back at the desk on Monday morning, sore enough that it even hurts a little to just sit here. Had a blast and I hope this reignites a little bit of the flame and I get out and ride a little more often. Thanks guys for organizing this.

Hi all,

Excited to let you know I have just today reconnected with Ron Stebenne from the ole Freestyle Promotions Company. I am sure many of you remember him.

Ron had the following short message today: "Hey Randy!!!!!!!!!!!! Great hearing from you too. Been in ministry for 17 years with the last 7 running a church skate park. Now own www.bamboosk8.com">http://www.facebook.com/l/;www.bamboosk8.com and run a mobile skate park for churches. Aside from writing grants and such...just the usual stuff. Went to a reunion here to with Eddie, Martin, Woodie, Mike D, Dave V and many more. Talk about holding the tears back. Man....life is swift."

Check out his site: http://www.bamboosk8.com/

Blessings,
R :)

I am very glad I made the pre-jam. Although, I wish I could of made both all together(ended up in the Toledo hospital overnight from "like food allergies". It seems as though a lot of people had a really great time! If you guys plan another one next year, or in the near future, I will for sure to be there , and on a liquid diet 3 days before. Thanks again to everyone that did this. Again, I enjoyed myself while I was present. (On a side note; Kurt- I did your riding, and sorry it took me forever to get over and speak w/you for a bit). Take Care everyone.
