Faction BBQ 2008!!!
Travis W at the controls
RIGHT ON EVERYONE!
Now THAT was one heck of a day! It rained off and on and for a couple moments at the end I thought we were going to have to build a raft.
Major major MAJOR props to all the people that made it out to this years BBQ. To think that in 2005 the Faction started as about 15 guys riding a ramp and Smitty donating stuff outta his own shop and to see it grow into this is simply amazing. We've since grown to 50+ members and with every gathering we just get bigger. And talk about great attitudes! I don't recall ONE person complaining about the rain!!! Hardcore!
I also have to take my hat off to this years sponsors, old school BMX is alive in well in their hearts:

There will be a special blog post with the awards and winners this week, due to the rain we had to bail outta the park FAST!!!
HUGE Faction thank you to: Ditchweed (secretary of transportation), Bill Sympson (skilz contest and killer awards), Peter Quamme (turntables and grillz) and Paul Smith (awards) for all their support... and Bill Anstedt. Bill A stepped up HUGE this year, running the show at the park, getting stuff set up and keeping everything 100% rocking. My hats off to you.
I had a great time BSing with everyone, checking out the bike and most off all RIDING. At the past BBQ's I was usually running around doing stuff, but with Bill taking the controls I was able to ride and have a great time. What a BLAST!
Do you have pics to share? Email me a link (or attach them) and I'll post 'em up! minnesotafaction at gmail.com
Jeff Tollefson has a nice writeup on his site...
More soon...
