Hmmm Where do I start..

It is very late we just got back in...

First I must thank Ford.. This guy is a true stunter... Ford went to the show to participate with us.. Fords 929 started rod knocking and Preacher voluntered to give up his 1000 to ford to ride..lets remeber only 2 people other than preacher have rode this bike.. that is Ford and Droptop... This bike is mint.. With a few adjustments of the clutch ford was out there killing it...U know preachers got love for ya if he let ya go out there and tear it up...

Second.. I would like to thank Ralph and the people at Milwaukee Bike Rally. For all there support and help.. I know u guys were a little leary at first.. But u guys were very supportive.. AOB was very happy to be there and apperciates the invite back for next year....

Hmm the rest I could go on and on for days.. Good news.. No Injureis.. We really dont have any bad news except for fords 929 rod knock.. but we parked it right away so he should be able to fix it..

We got tons of pictures and videos..

Everything from tires blowing up, to bike fires, to cigars being lit off of glowing red exhaust pipes..

I could go on and on for days.. I am sure I will post more up.. we got tons of pics to post..

So I will post more..

Preacher and Ford nothing but love to both of you.. and thanks for the support... I couldnt have chosen to be in a smaller stunt area with anyone else!!!!

Here are some of the pics.. I will post everything else up as I get time.. There was so much!!!

i had a great time guys. i really appreciate darryl and preacher for including me in on this trip. preacher, you giving your mint *** gixxer up to me was one of the coolest things anyone has ever done for me. even though we destroyed bikes, we tripped over a lot of leads for other shows and sponsors. it was all worth it and i am glad i could get off of work to enjoy this trip with you guys. i learned a lot.

 

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip Ford, it truly was my pleasure. Hey Drop, I see people really have their eye on you to see what's new. Another promoter satisfied......... Good job Drop! and as always I leave this for the skeptics...... Drop the drama and Preach the love of the sport!!

 

i think ryan was just asking if you did burnouts the whole show?

 

nice work AOB boys

 

ya lets see some droptop whoooooliesss.. I hear you are doing them now but still no pics... other than 50 pics which dont count ... dont be shy

 

umm, no, highchair burnouts......duh

 

Yup Yup... theres some pics somewhere around.. Usually I am the one taking the pics.. Trying not to be selfish and get everyone else around me.. Not really a big deal.. I learned them.. not for everyone else.. just for myself.. just another obsticale that I overcame. thanks to the help of Preacher and all my friends around me....

 

Yeah Im sure i did a few of those... I still know people who cant do them.. High chair burnouts look sweet espically in the circle formation.... or when u come out of a crossed up endo into a burnout...

 

Thanks apperciate it!!!

 

Thanks brother man.. U know I got mad love for ya.. I cant lie when we showed up to that spot in the morning.. all tired from the drive and hungry.. I looked at that spot and said yeah right... Looks like I am just gonna have to kill it on the . But u and Ford remained by myside... So I broke the big bike out and started practicing... Thanks for the support from both of u...

I knew I had it in me.. That just gave me more motivation to come home and practice harder...

I dont think I could have chosen a better group of people to go down there with.. Espically with 10-12 hour riding days and the heat.. We still had fun.. I remeber when we woke up on sunday I was like I am done.. but as soon as we unloaded we were back at it..

Preacher u are a great motivator in ur own special way.. I remeber when I said i didnt wanna ride wheelies.. u said okay.. then when I said maybe I should u supported me.. Except for trying to take my away from me.. But both u and I know it was time to move on to the big bike...

Ford.. Damn u are the man.. u can ride anything.. except the I still got one up on u.. naa in all honesty it was a great time.

I hope that people continue to keep there eyes on me..But its just not me now.. theres a whole group of people that sourround me that are great.. And we are not sitting dormid talking we are taking action.. Doing shows, making sponsors happy, practicing, and making the crowd go wild...

ALL ODDS BEATEN... What does it mean exactly what it states...
So many odds against us.. Preacher and Droptop... So many odds beaten...
thats why we are here to stay..

AOB also has alot of followers who ride with us and support us.. and from time to time u will see them at shows riding with us... hanging with us.. or just relaxing with us.. thats how we do it... AOB is trying so hard to keep the drama away... We are a team that loves everyone.. if u dont love us.. dont know what to tell u.. Cause were On the scene and were here to stay!!!

 

that promoter is lowballing our sport-and you supported him---just run this through your head, if you blow a motor, break a leg, blow up your tow vehicle-is that cheesey paycheck that he's handing out going to help with ANY one of those bills?

that show is an HOUR away from us, we drove to iowa that weekend and made WAY more than in the 3 days in which we would have rode for that jag bag.

 

Ryan I understand ur worries and ur complaint. Here is why we did the show hopefully u will understand our side.

This is the first year that they did something like this. I talk to the promoter and explained to him that this was a small amount of money for the time and dangers that we were investing. I wanted to do the show because there was a chance of getting more sponsors and booking more shows. And that is exactly what happened. We ended up getting another sponsors. And some large Harley shops wanted us to come back to do shows for them directly. I have this philsophy if u prove ur self to someone the first time, then next time they will have to understand where u are coming from.
I mean I did my best to make the crowd go crazy and make the promoter happy.. I do agree with u dont get me wrong.. So hopefully next year things will be different...

 

ok, you took on a show that should have paid out 2 grand AT LEAST for the whole weekend......a show that could have been taken by a "professional" team and showed the crowd what a variety of circles, spreader scrapes, hc scrapes, ss circles, sit down no handers, 180 stoppies---not just tire burning and foot in the bar no handers...not knocking your riding skills, just telling you how i feel about up and coming teams jumping onto the professional turf.

do you see that people don't understand what our sport is all about??? do you see if up and coming teams jump on these bullshit shows and knock off the "professional teams" in our sport that our sport will grow weak and ONLY be on the streets???

i noticed that you were complaining about riding in such a small space---dude, i practice in my driveway-----you have a HUGE area to ride from the pictures that i see.....

 

Hmm Im sorry we have someone who can do no handed circles, and I think every trick u names up there was accomplished.. Ryan Im not trying to get into a pissing match with u.. But u dont know everyones riding abilty that was there at that show. Espically Ford... He is a great rider and I think he gave the crowd a really good side of the technical along with preacher... These 2 are some great riders.. Yeah my skills dont compare to fords or preachers.. But let me say this about me... I give the crowd what u dont.. Not one time did I go out there and the crowd was not cheering... It wasnt always the big bikes that made them happy.. It was the 50 doing circles, spreaders... and much more..

So in closing ryan.. U might be a good rider I dunno... But u see u have came out of ur way on my boards to go about trying to down play a team that I belong to.. and that is very messed up.. that is why the stunt world is so full of drama.. I choose not to sit her and argue with u.. Let me tell u this much u started at the same place I did.. and u progressed and made it to where I am at now.. and i am sure u have kept progressing.. So Ryan please dont post on my board if u dont like what I did.. there are alot of great riders out there.. and if u are one then great.. I look up to alot of them.. Like Kyle Woods who personally sat down with me and told me to keep it up and things will come.. So thats what i am doing.. I am not going to let someone bring me down.. I have been fighting to get where I am at since I started this.. U say u didnt want the show cause it paid to little.. then Fine quit *****ing...u did ur own thing that weekend anyways... Since I am upcoming.. then maybe this show was for me.. I didnt say I was *****ing about the space.. I simply said I had to step it up and learn to ride in that small of a place..

Ryan I wish u the best

Like Preacher says
"Drop The Drama Preach the love of the sport"

Im out!!!

edit:
So I went and looked at ur website.. and I remeber now that i have a few of ur video clips stored on my computer... U were one of the teams that I looked up to. U have skills. But I really hate the way u came off to me.. and How u act like u never were at the point I was at.. Great way to make fans.. Im sure u dont care... I got lots of other people to look up to and help me out.. and I obviously am doing a good job cause promoters keep booking me to do shows and to come back to the same shows again... Like I said I am not here to fight or argue.. thanks for the support and love.. Wish u the best and ur riding the best...

 

you just don't get it do you???? i didn't see any pictures other than a foot in the bar no hander and a burnout.....hc scrapes??

besides the point

people wonder why big names and talented riders LEAVE this sport---it's cuase of this exact situation----undercutting the ones who paid their dues....bro, if your going to judge my character because of this...that's your choice.....but you would understand where i'm coming from if you put yourself in my shoes.....i've blown the motors, been crumpled under my bike, spent HOURS upon HOURS learning parking lot ****.......to be low balled by another team on stuntlife------NOT cool.

makes a guy think about hangin it up


people cheer for burnouts because they want you to break your ****---don't forget that.

 

Ryan I wish u and ur team the best...
