click to see it big!

It's that time of year again for the not really annual Albe's BBQ at the River Bends Skate Park in Utica Michigan. The day is Sunday Oct 4th and it should start around 2pm or so.  We'll have some give-a-way prizes, food, drinks and good vibes for all.  Come out and ride or just watch.  Maybe we'll even have a special guest or two.  If you have any questions let me know at flip@albes.com

This will be HORRIBLY AWESOME!!!

So I got this e-mail a few weeks ago letting me know there will be a lake jump (pond jump) comp in Millington Michigan on Sunday Sept 6^th.  After looking into it a little more I find out it’s at a big time 4 day long MX race at a place called Baja Acres.  Turns out the BMX lake jump is just a little event they have over the race weekend for fun.  Now it seems Red Bull has put up $1000 for 1^st place for the comp! 

But wait!!!!  It gets better!!!! 

In between the qualifying and finals (yes…there is a qualifying round for the lake jump comp) there is a “belly flop” contest and the winner gets A KEG OF BUD!!!

This could be horribly awesome!  From what I can tell from the website if you just want to go on the day of the comp it would cost you $20.  Even if you are not entering it will still cost you $20

I’m thinking we may fill the Albe’s bus and make the drive up.  Looks like it’s only an hour or two away.  If you may want in give me an e-mail at flip@albes.com

Bryan Young's Creek Jump of Death video.

2 weeks ago TRP local Bryan Young decided it was possible to jump the creek behind TRP.  Pretty much every local has joked about it but Bryan was the first to give it a go.  Check the video to learn more about the jump and to see the action.
