Flip missed finals by 2 spots in Toronto a few weeks ago. It was his first comp in probably 5 years and probably his last for atleast 5 more.
Looks like plans are nailed down and the Albe's bus will be heading to Joplin Mo. for the Jomopro Comp. Albe's Team riders that will making the trip to Joplin are.
So we are packing up the bus and heading to Rochester NY Friday for the Redbull Jam. Should be a good time for sure. the crew for this trip consists of:
If they let us into Canada it will be amazing!!! Photo to come later I'm sure.

We rolled into Orlando at 11:30...unloaded the bus, got claned up and was to a club by midnight. Our Friend Barrett hooked us up VIP Style at a club called Makos on Church St. We were treated very well upstairs in the VIP area and with PLENTY of free bottles of stuff we should probably not have been drinking. Most of the rest of the night was a blur but i think that's the way we all like it. We woke at the crack of noon:30 and are chilling by the pool and getting ready to go ride trails and probably Mesh. Freimuth should be here at about 10pm tonite and then this trip really starts.

Well it's that time of year again...the time of year we decide we are done with shitty Michigan weather, pile a bunch of the team into the Albe's bus and head south to FLORIDA!!! We leave Michigan on 3/27 and will return how 4/6. The crew inlisted this year is better than ever:

We are on a loose schedule but we plan to stop in Orlando, West Palm Beach, Miami area, Tampa, Clearwater and maybe a stop on the way home in Atlanta. Live in those areas??? Have cool places for us to ride and / or party? Give me an e-mail (flip@albes.com)
right now we are on i-75 almost to Kentucky. the trip started rough due to a blizzard and SHITTY roads. 40 mph for the first 3 hours!!! now we are moving sweet. the odyssey vid is rocking on the tv and my laptop / cell phone set up is flying. non shitty / snowy weather.....here we come!!!

well...I took a bunch of riding photos that sucked. I took a bunch of party photos I can't post and I'm sure you have already seen videos of all the riding and read storys about all the party stuff all over the web so here are the few photos that I know people wanted. I may have been on this faster but i think i caught the canadian bird flu or some shit.
Congrats to all the Albe's friends and family for doing so well in Toronto (Dosch, Nina and Jaimy Spreitzer). Check go211.com, vitalbmx.com and bmxboard for all the video and stories from the weekend.

We are at Woodward West. Dosch is F-ed up!
After a few months of sitting due to lack of time for trips as well as ANOTHER shitty transmission the Albe's bus is back on the road. We celebrated by stuffing it full of people and hitting up the Charlotte park as well as the Holt park. We then rode some street in East Lansing. The weather was GREAT, vibe was quite good, lots of money changed hands and some cool stuff went down on the BMX'es.
Mr. Zack Warden turned 18 during Mega Tour. We made sure his B-day was a fun one. Spinner also had a B-day while we were on the trip. I can probably get big money for the photos I have of him and his "gift"
Thanks to everybody who helped out on the trip.
