Looking back over the years, here is a journal entry that stands out and also my comments looking back now. Hoffman Contest- Hoffman Estates, IL -The Stolen Cop Car November 11th, 1994
Actual Journal Entry: We went to the park & watched flatland & mini ramp all day. At night, we all drank at the hotel & then went to a bar called “Durty Nelly’s.” It was packed. Later we started moshin’ and steam rolling on the dance floor & acting silly. Some people got kicked out. Then when we were leaving, a bouncer wouldn’t let a guy go. So me and some others were pulling on the guy & punching the bouncer. Then the cops ran up and a Canadian BMX guy jumped in the cop’s car and started rev’in it up. Then he put it in gear and took of with a cop hangin on to the back of it. The cop tried to hang on, but flew off! We all saw it and ran to our cars & jumped in.
Reuben Castillo & I jumped in the trunk &
Mirra drove a bunch of us back. We got back to our hotel & talked about the craziness that we witnessed. That Canadain guy got arrested.
