-Dennis Enarson has decided to get surgery on his shoulder. The mess started at the BMX Masters in Cologne where it dislocated and it has popped out multiple times after that. The only solution is to get it fixed and let it heal. It will mean a few months off the bike though. Good luck with that Dennis.-John Paul Rogers sent a mail with the following message: "I've got a new blog rolling, it's got some bike stuff and nudity..." If you're into that, go HERE.
