Customer Appreciation Sale This Saturday

Kidrock1

THIS GUY KNOWS HOW TO GET A DISCOUNT AT ALBE'S

it's true, this coming Saturday, April 26th you can get 15% OFF anything you buy!  it's our way of saying thank you for the support you've given us and to show you how much we appreciate it but if you know anything about us you know there has to be a gimmick involved.  with past sales the only way to get the discounted prices was to wear something silly, answer trivia questions or bribe us but this one will be easy:  all you've got to do is come in wearing an Albe's t-shirt...that's it. it can be new or old, yours or borrowed from a friend, even a home made one will get it.    the only fine print is that the discount will be taken from the retail prices which sometimes vary from the online prices...(on some things the retail prices are lower than the online price which should stoke you even more) so, that's it.  nothing more.  come in wearing an Albe's t-shirt and get 15% off anything you buy.  oh yeah, and for those of you that know about the super secret extra 10% off discount it will still be in effect but if you don't know about it don't bother asking what it takes because we're not telling, you just gotta hear about that one on the streets...and that one works any day of the week.

Albe's 2008 Florida trip photos and video.

Albesroadtrip08flair

We got back a week or so ago from the 10 day trip that included good weather, beaches, beer, shady ladies, Rick Flair, good friends, police with guns pointed at us and some really good bike riding.  You can check some of the photos out HERE.  I'm sorry but these are the ones that i can post.  Most other had to be destryed!  Also the trip was sponsored by go211.com and they sent a filmer with us (Brett Rohlfing) on most of the trip to film the BMX end of the madness. From what it sounds like they are going to post one day of the trip at a time so keep a look out at the link below:

used food, corduroy panties, two blondes & a shrimp (sub title: my trip to the UGP warehouse)

after listening to me bitch about what seems like never ending cold weather and how Flip was having all the fun in Florida the fantastic folks down at the legendary UGP surprised me with an all expenses paid trip to the Orlando area to preview their upcoming back-to-school line, show me around the warehouse, introduce me to the behind the scenes crew and fill me to the brim with a booze fueled shmoozing...and shmooze they did.

Daniel's purple bike is missing....

3whipdew 

Message from Daniel Dhers:

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to let everyone know that some stole my purple bike (the bike i rode all last year).

I've been living at Woodward for 4 years now and i always left everything in the common area in Bud's barn, i always went on trips and left stuff there and never nothing disappeared except for this time.

I came back from the Albe's trip on monday and i notice my purple bike wasn't where I left it, at first i thought someone was playing a joke on me and hid the bike somewhere so i didn't even ask and i went riding thinking I'll just figure who took my bike later, well i couple hours later another Bud's barn guest came up looking for his bike, so i searched every single place and asked everyone at camp about our bikes finding out no one has hid our bikes and they have been stolen!!

It really bums me out to know someone would steal the bikes from us, my purple bike was very especial to me and i wanted to keep it as one of my precious things but thanks to someone with sticky hands that won't be possible anymore.

The ironic part is that i never got robbed in Venezuela where crime is a big deal and i got robbed at Woodward where people comes to have fun.

If anyone knows anything please let me know.

Thanks,
Daniel
