So the best rider that I have ever seen in person had a blue bike with

1096 down the side

Then I seen some dude on here with one thousand ninty six on his title.

So what exactly is 1096? Is it a crew? Is it just one guy?

The one guy I seen was out in a buisness complex off Webber road kind of by Joliet. He was a bad *** rider and I guess he had the record for farthest nose wheelies.

I just want to know if there is a video, or if the dude post here, cus I could watch his crazy *** ride all day!

So...
1096 a man?
1096 a crew?

 

1096 is a team
the guy you saw with the 1096 down the side of the bike is probably Matt "Thew" Blankstrom
www.team1096.com is in a overhaul at the moment, but there are video's out there

yes it is!

1096 is the **** man....Out of West Michigan...Greatest guys i have ever met in my life man! Awesome to ride with too!!! Oh and thats me with the title you speak of


HAHAHA!! Funny story (kind of anyways)

I went to a bike shop by my house Thew is always at. He was there so we start to talk and everything and there is a wrecked Gixxer 1000 there. Sub frame is cracked, no platics, no exhaust at all, no lights of any kind and forks looked a little bent too. So he is in aww how he hasnt rocked a 1k before. So he says to me "Lets go for a ride" I hop on my bike and he rolls up to me. This bike is insanly loud too hahahaha It was pretty funny. He says "lets get on the highway to see what this thing does. We get on the highway doing like 65 or 70mph. He lifts it up and starts to ride it and it starts drifting to the right like mad. So he drops it and does this like 10 times and pieces of stuff start flying off it and everything. Ahhh it was such a funny sigh to see this chunk of meat with a seat just laid on it not even clipped down doing a wheelie hahaha!! We drive for about 10 miles (surprised we didnt see a cop) and we get off the highway and start to head back to the shop and there is tons of people walking around and stuff and he is just ripping this thing up and down hahaha! Ok i guess you had to be there, but it was funny as hell. He said that was the first time he has ridden a 1000....Did damn good for the first time haha!!

 

thew is awesome!!!!!

Holy sh*t.. I'm not the only one that has that video..


I met Thew and the gang up at St. Ignus cruise back in like 2000 ( I think ).. They where just some guys that came up to me on my bike asking questions and said to check out this bootleg video.. They were super cool guys, and I never thought Matt would become the super star that he is today.. I guess I should have hung out with him more..


So what ever happened to the rest of the guys in that video?? Jason and the little guy on the R1???

 

i got the 626 video and it is a bad *** video

 

i wanna see

 

1096 has only 1 video. A vhs at that. We've been around since the VHS days baby!!!
