Yesterday was a good day with a couple of school shows in SW Wisconsin.
Today was the St. Paul Winter carnival Torch-lite parade.
it was abought 5 degrees and my front brake cable actually froze up 3/4 of the way threw!
A new client I am working with paid me well to do these last two parades. They have one more lined up for June. This is all a build up to the week long tour of shows I will be doing with my team in mid june .
More shows on Monday here in Minnesota ...

PARADES
I hate parades ! Always have , always will . Yet I still do them , for the money. Call me a sellout , I dont care.
I like school shows because of the kids and the influence I may have on them in a positive way.
I like the shows I do with the ramps and my team. It is just rad to rip it up in front of crowds with my team !
But parades , they are lame !
I call parades the "blue collar " work. It is a constant show every 20 feet. People always yell things , like = Do a trick , Do a flip , I can do that or like yesterday , "aint you to old to be on that little bike ?"
I like to give a lot when I do trix for people , but in a parade I need a minute to catch my breath .
People just dont care.
I will continue to do parades ( I have 3 more booked this year) But ,
I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE THEM.
oh and by the way , it did rain on my parade yesterday ... still did it and got paid .

Wisconsin death trip
That may be a name for an album by the rock band Static X but to me and my friends it has been a term we hae used since 1998' .
It is what we call the road from Minniapolis MN. heading east all the way to illinois = HWY. 94 , if you will.
This run is always so long and boring. I have done it at least 100 times.
Last night I left Racine WI. and headed on the death trip to home after three shows.
It should of took about 6 and a half hours.
Once I hit The Dells , it was raining/sleeting, Not good when it is below 32 degrees. I seen 4 cars in the ditch upside down or on their sides , a jackknifed semi and numerous cars in the ditch. One car came up on my rear and hit the breaks and did a 180 behind me into the ditch. I was lucky.
All the semi trucks ( the ruler of the roads) were doing less than 40 miles per hour from the Dells to Eau Claire !! it was glare Ice and I was lucky to make it threw safely
it took me hours longer than expected .
I got home safely at 3:35 AM.

NEW YEAR = NEW DEAL
2010 , Taking a different approach this year with my life.
I am looking to build upon the progress that I made in 2009.
