Well today should be quite fun, ecpesially being able to see such a great ride honored with an award as big as this.
I'll shall post a TR(Trip Report) when I get home. Btw, if anyone wants to find me there I'll be wearing a black tee that has a Fubu Jeans Co logo on the left side(Your right.), blue jeans, a tan/grayish white/kind of dirty lookin(Has small drawings here and there.) backback, and black Osiris skate shoes(Yes I am a skateboarder but I don't really look like it. I need to get back into it, its been a long time since I've skated.). Hopefully I'll see some of you there! Don't be afraid to walk up to me, I'm a nice person and I don't bite.  This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
