K...if were sharing Joe stories..o'side 06. Michigan crew goes down,mind you we have literly (sp?) memorized FreeLoaders...in fact we have a trivia game based on the movie..ie. like how many gallons they pumped at coffee bay, South Africa..ect..and a lot of other stuff.... wierd stuff ..trust me.

We go to O'side to observe, expecting to mabye see Joe riding,,ya know its his home turf and all, and we had a little US vs. the world thing goin on. But hes hurt and not riding.. we roll in to o'side and that f..kr is livin in a ryder van at the beach....we are totally blown away speachless, that he is not only there but totally cool with hanging with us..we were all like Joe remember in Freeloaders when they asked you where you were goin and you said Mexico..yea that was cool..turns out he only saw Freeloaders one time...And Im thinkin dude Ive seen it prolly 2000 times. But he was like thats what I do with no air(now how would you spell that?) of superiority or ego..And I thought how f'n cool this sport was to have a guy like that be the top FreeRider in the world...I am so thankfull for joe to inspire us to not only ride but to not take ourselves to seriously...Dude I know with all the support you have along with your zest 4 life you will be back on your feet and be all like whats all the deal....its just a little bump on the noggin...lets rock...we are STILL waitin for freeloaders 2..Im out
