Actual Journal Entry from December 28, 1996:

I woke up at 7:30am in Columbus, OH & rode a few blocks to Rich Vittiello’s hotel (the main guy at Huffy). We had breakfast & talked for about 2hrs about their sponsorship offer for me for next year. They will pay me $30,000/year salary with bonuses & they want to sign me for two years! I went back to my hotel & called Brad Lusky at Haro & told him about the offer. He said that Haro would not be able to come close to matching it. So I was like, “Laters.”

At night, there was a Pro race & jump contest. I got 3rd in the race & won $242. Stoked! I entered the jump contest & I jumped good, but didn’t qualify. Ali & a couple of her friends came to the race. She looks a lot better than I remember. (She’s the flight attendant that I met last month flying to the ABA Grands)

The revolutionary Red Bull Dirt Pipe went off in front of a very privileged crowd of onlookers, deep in Victoria’s pristine Keiwa Valley. The assembled riders arrived to yet another amazing morning and the sight of the world’s first snow inspired half pipe. The canyon-like pipe dropped riders 120 meters between huge 14-foot plus walls of perfectly sculpted dirt. In a day full of huge, progressive riding on a completely new take on BMX dirt, it was style and flow that won out above all else.

Only one Week left and the guys from the „Von der Rolle" e.V. celebrate their sixth birthday with a big jam! The best wheater, great guys and a lot of fun will be there. Come around 2:00pm to the local skatepark "akw". Check out the amazing street spots, the new dirtpark and the big fullpipe. Thanks to Eastpak, Breakless, KHE Bikes,
