Going to America!

Post by Mike #98 » 08-01-2010 21:03

Namens Gerrit Does;

Dear friends in BMX,

I do sent this mail in English, so I don’t have to write twice, o.k.! First of all, A HAPPY, HEALTHY 2010 to you and yours.

During our latest meeting with a part of our group at the BMX Museum in Megen-Holland, the suggestion was made to make trip to the USA and participate in one of the BEST BIKE ELECTION meets over there, sometime 2010 or 2011.

I told you all then, I could contact GORK BARRETTE a former editor of the ABA BMX magazine now working for REDLINE, who is kind of a specialist in the area of Old School bikes and meetings in the USA. He started the ABA BMX Old School museum many years ago. Anyway, I contact GORK and he did sent back the following information:

GORK would love to see some European O.S. BMX Bike collectors at one of the USA events. Would be even greater if the Europeans could bring BMX O.S. material with them and take part in the exhibition and election. GORK pointed out there are 2 major events in this field, 1st. Vintage BMX collectors meet in ROCKFORD, Illinois (near Chicago) put on by the guys of VintageBMX.com and the event Gork and his brother organize in ROSEVILLE, California (suburb of Sacramento).

Both events are great events and easy to be reached by plan and car. GORK states that ROCKFORD is the lager of these two event. 2009 was their 10th anniversary in organizing this event and they have a nice location to display the bikes, in a nice green grassy field, under the shade of trees.

The ROSEVILLE, CA event by GORK and his brother will take place on JUNE 5TH 2010.

The ROCKFORD’s show will take place 2 weeks later on JUNE 19 & 20 th 2010.

There is also a 3rd show going on put on by OS-BMX.com, which is held in ELISIAN PARK SOCAL, above the LA Stadium in the hills. There will be mostly SOCOL collectorsand lots of SOCAL BMX legends. Don’t know the date of this one yet.

Again, GORK would love to welcome European Collectors to his show in ROSEVILLE, CA. I just give you all this info so you can think about it. When going to GORK’s show

It means California, nice weather and ………. Because I know GORK very well, he probably can help us with accommodation and transportation (special deals and so on!?).

Interested in going? Let me and maybe we should meet some time soon (like Febr. Or March) to talk about this all.

I am going to the USA from March 17th till April 4th, riding Harley’s from Orlando to L.A. Probably I will meet GORK and I could discuss with him details, if needed.

February 6th I will be present at the BMX Museum in Megen, when Mike Janssen celebrates his 1st anniversary BMX Museum, maybe we can talk there a bit already?

For now all the best and talk to you all later,

Kind regards,

GERRIT DOES

Mooi onderwerp voor zaterdag 6 februari. Ik zal Gerrit vragen of hij zijn info/suggesties mee kan nemen zodat we de eerste stapjes kunnen maken.
