Right now I’m sitting at the airport trying to get home so thought I give a quick update about Sinapore PIG comp. Rob Wise had to leave because of famile issues (hope everything is ok) so I got teamed up with Dave Dillewaard on Team Aussie. We were going good at the start then team Captain Jack (Brian hunt & Rob Darden) throw a barspin in on the 9ft ramp. Also got out on an opposite whip and a double bar spin. Such a fun comp. Morgan Wade and Gary Young won in the finals beating Mackay and Nyquist.

Thanks again to Jay Miron for having us, you’re the man.

Ryan

Mirra: We now know that he won the celebrity car race. He will be heading back to empty Greenville. You can also catch Dave in New Jersey this weekend with MirraCo. rider Mike Spinner.

Spinner: Has headed back to his third home Woodward east. I also heard that he three whipped down a 3 stair. I really can’t keep up with him, and in the same breath I hope he doesn’t slow down. You can also see Spinner in New Jersey with Dave. LOL

Nigel: Is just starting to slowly ride again after a sprained ankle. Also keep your eyes open for Nigel’s new signature shirt from Animal, FEEL MEE!

Guettler: Should just be getting back to Greenville from Singapore where he just spent the last two weeks. There’s also rumors that a dog may be entering the Guettler house hold.

Rytell, Wise, Laird, and Myself: Will be in New Mexico on Thursday to kick off Allan Cooke’s Local Exposure Tour. We will be in Arizona and Southern California as well. So stay tuned for the updates from the road.
