Tell everone to talk here, conversing under the events topic will keep new riders extremly uninterested in joining us on an "event". O and Katie's ideas on a shirt are ok except for the back side.( of the shirt I mean ):Banane37:

thinking..........

Maybe we should start with shirt colors

that may determine logo/design colors, etc.

Maybe a picture of me on the front!.....you know, for the ladies.:biggrin:

Shirt colors I was thinking red. Black is to hot in the sun and white get to dirty.
Green is for Kaw and Blue is for SJ. So red would be neutral I guess.

This shirt?http://www.x-h2o.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9849&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1156948011

Mark44

There is no way that I am wering a shirt that says "old guys rule" not a freggin chance

But I kinda like the red idea as long as it is gets attention. We need to start with what is our group name. It is the Stlouis Crew then I guess I am not a part anymore because I live in Ill. :17:

What about something like the "The Mostly StLouis Standup Riders Club with a few Illinois Members

NA I am just B.S.ing I don't care as long as it doesn't have Brappp on it. I really don't want to explain that to everyone that I meet. And do you have a place to have them done I have a place that a good friend works at that might make us a deal on screen printed shirts.. And I will have to have screen printed have you wore that riot ride shirt in the hot sun.... WOW

Mark44
08-30-2006, 12:26 PM
They will not say old guy's rule that is only for Katie. "St. Louis Free ride Crew" You are a part Jr. core member. Where are the prizes anyway? I also like Brap! F other people they don't even know they make stand ups anymore.

Have you seen the sticker on the back of Rusty Jones(My truck for those of you who don't know)? Bob has the same one on his truck. I was thinking something like that with StL crew on the back, and maybe nickname on front.(small, upper chest area) I don't want it too big or we'll look like campy villains from the old Batman series. Maybe I could put my brief college education to use and draw something up. -T

I just got off the phone with postive imperssions and they said that there wouldn't be a set up fee and a shirt with 2 colors on the back and one color on the front would be $7 to $8 and there wouldn't be a extra fee for a white backer if we wanted red shirts so that the colors would show up.

We now just need a good design. Richard is up north working this week. He is really good at art work and grafix so we need to get him on the topic also. I will try to call him tonight. So he can start drawing some stuff up.

What about ski to ski sit to pee logo and a silhouette of a big roll jumping across the tolet stool... ok maybe not but I do like the sit to ski sit to pee

Mark44
08-31-2006, 08:05 AM
Don't really like the toilet thing. I wanted to have them look some what professional but that’s just me. Thoughts

We can come up with some ideas at the party on Sunday.

08-31-2006, 12:29 PM
Hmmmm Are you saying that our "sit to ski...... sit to pee!" stickers aren't professional?? Now I want one that says "Mark44 sits to pee!" j/k Your peeing lifestyle choices are none of my business. Man, who woulda thought just having some t-shirts made up would be such a conundrum? We'll get it figured out. -T

Speedfreak
08-31-2006, 06:04 PM
I done some photochopping last night and the tolet thing is a bad idea becasue if your rolling a ski over a tolet your head is right over the stool which looks pretty stupid.

I would like them to look pretty good I mean the more people that ask about it the better. So a profesional looking shirt is going to be better. AND we arn't just a bunch of standup riders that hate couches...... we just make fun of couches.... LOL Mark we can't be too aginst them we both own couches.

Great party, Mark! Good burgers, good ppl. Just wanted to say "thanks" and I will probably be going to George Winter one day this weekend if anyone is interested. We had a blast with Topoff and McDougle and we also met a guy named Lee on a 650. He's looking for people to ski with, so I told him to watch this site for future dates. Take it easy. -T

Hey guys I have a new camping spot. You'll have to check it out. My Photographer that takes the little guys pictures.... Oh hell I just thought about that a photographer... LOL well see what happens.. But anyhow her new boyfriend owns a private lake and a lodge here in southern IL. I looked it up and it is smaller than Frankfort lake... Ummm it is only 600 feet wide and 2000 feet long versus Frankfort which is 1000 by about 4700 just the part we ride in.

Anyhow here is the link to the site and you guys can give it an inspection. Tall Tree Lake (http://talltreelake.com/Page_1.html)

Let me know what you think... I think it sounds pretty cool and for your information since I am the soutern IL. directions guy ... it is 31 miles south of westfrankfort lake.

I am not saying that we can't spend every weekend at frankfort lake it is just that If you guys want to go somewhere else this sounds pretty cool. And ther is a food place there and Missy said that we could get a pretty good discount if we kinda booked a time and we all came down.

Hey Crew it is almost cabin camping time. And here is a few pictures to show what we have been working on the past few weeks. Someone let Terry (YaKee) know that his bed room has a new floor.

If you guys remember the Cabin had a weak floor in the utility room. Even though that part is only 3 years old the. The contractor used regular wood instead of treated. Anyhow we tore the floor out and was going to rebuild it but priced cement and it turned out to be a lot cheaper. So Terry has a new concrete floor in his bedroom.

Hey guys whats going on the weekend of 9-1. I was talking to the guys that run the ski show at the state fair and they will accept any kind of entertainment that they can get.

We talked about doing a freestyle exhibition/show/freeride while the ski competition is going on or between the skiers and they don't have a problem with it. I am suppose to meet with them this week to see what and when. The state fair runs the 24th through labor day. If we can't do this fair they want to meet up with me to do something during any of the other events held at the fairgrounds.

Yea and you can backflip a back hoe with a big enough ramp. :sad:

Contact weight watchers and sign your ski up. I know that you don't want to come over to the "blue" side so if your ski would loose a bunch of weight you would be flat water rolling with no setup wave. You have the natural talent you just need the properly set up ski.

Side exhaust with light weight water box will save almost 20 pounds. Trinity hood is - 20 pounds. That a few odd and end tings and you will be at the weight of a super heavy SJ. Then all you need is POWER and flat water rolls would be as easy as turning.

If I don't get my motor done by riding time I have a complete wetjet motor all it needs is a standup to go around it. But really I am guessing by mid next week I will start calling lawyers.

Thats good you got away from what I know about the street fighters. I've been on the street my intire adult life. I have been on the dirt even longer. The damage they have cause irreversible. There reputation has caused me to change my direction of travel more than a few times and park the bike and drive the cage. Stunting on streets has given true motocyclest a bad rap.

I think because of what the streetfighterz started people see a bike and look out. But I dont agree with everything they do there are alot worse things on the rode besides them.

yea so everyone should come down and kick it. every friday and saturday from 9-11 we do free draft beer and food. I sign one person up and when you get to the door you tell them which party you are with and they give you a cup. the person with the most people gets to be bartender and give out free drinks and beer for 3 mins.

You talkin about 9-11 am or pm? Nothin like bein drunk before noon :wink:

I am planning on riding with the SurfSluts this summer some time... I still think of Michigan as the arctic circle... Which is not for me.. Plus isn't it about the same distance going to FL than to the arctic....

That is why they ride in the HOT HOLE since the water freezes in mid summer because of how far north it is....

Monstersj when you see the Miss. at St charles I beleive you'll get hooked. There are the some of the largest marinas full of sizeable pleasure boats. And the water ways they have to travel is perfect for us. On the wkends the beaches will have 250 to 300 boats. AND now Katia has a dry suit, extending our season. We do have our own freerides about 8-10 a year on schduled weekends. But I 've been to 3 laniers and 2 Wave rave, Mi is better riding in Aug. I wear a wet suit there many dont. This snake is wild.

Thats a picture of the Mississippi????? Damn..down here its just mud and you dont want to consider going into it because of whirlpools and random floating logs..dad used to work on the river round here and he said they would see whirlpools big enough to fit a boat down in..

Speedfreak
11-15-2007, 09:58 PM
NO that must be MI. There aren't that many SJ's on the miss. I love the river it might have whirlpools but I have never seen one. I have found the bottom a few times but never hit any really rough. The logs are in there but nothing to worry about you are riding a SJ you can almost jump the channel markers so a random log is nothing... And heck a whirlpool might be fun to try and jump.. you only get one chance....LOL

I've heard the river is a bit more rough down here by the Chester bridge than it is up your way..not too sure how true that is.

Any of you ever ride the Kaskaskia river over by Evansville Illinois??? My uncle is a barge pilot and tells me when he is navigating that channel..its about 70 miles from the lock and damn to the end(New Athens if I remember correctly). Basically you get to follow a barge for about 20 miles in a narrow channel..HUGE WAVES! Pretty fun.

Yes what mark said in the spring 05 my pics ore in my old computor. We parked at the floating bar at New athens. Two or three ramp and a large parking lot. That channel had steep sides, no where to stop. We did go down to the no wake sunken barge area. I can picture if there was more traffic that would have been wakes to jump.

Ya usually its just a good place to go and sit at the bar and drink a few..then hit the water for a cruise. If you go when they have their poker runs there are quite a few large boats and many waves. You have to go during the week for the barges to be there..and then there are huge waves. The bad thing about that river is the many unseen stumps that are only a foot below the water...and the Jumping Carp!! Those fuggers almost always get me!

Im not sure if Evansville has always been the way it is now..but they have sand where you can beach your ski's at right around the boat ramp..pretty nice.

I am not out completely.. I do have a spare motor that we can use as a test plot to see how much salt water you can suck in before it blows... But Lou doesn't have a motor either...

As an update on my crank... Pancake is trying to get some information for me.. Like a tracking number.... But I don't think he is having any luck either.. But A BIG thanks goes out to Pete .. he is trying real hard to get this solved and it isn't even his problem.. But if I don't hear anything by mid week I am calling a lawyer.. Monday is 5 weeks since he sent it out to California and it hasn't turned up anywhere.

I have my "freshend" lamey and new pistons. I have a scratch inside the hull I want to address. My material is arriving shortly. And I will be taking the hand poll off--again-- and having mark come over and smash a finger trying to get the spring in there. Since I dont want to get hurt like this year; hernia operation, staples in the scull, pulled muscle off work for a 2wk recovering. Heck a overtight hand poll keeps all you off it! Maybe I'll keep the spring out!

Shirt colors I was thinking red. Black is to hot in the sun and white get to dirty.
Green is for Kaw and Blue is for SJ. So red would be neutral I guess.
