Baco Jam...

So at some point in the middle of last week we decided that we were going to go to the BACO Jam in Wi.  Friday rolled around and we piled 10 people and 10 bikes into the Albe's bus and we started the 9 hour drive.

The crew included:

Flip

Dane Wild

Sparks

Vinny

Matt Carmickle

Loaf

Nathan Powell (came home $100 richer)

Sean Myskis

Matt Sivalelli (squirrel)

Jason Suchan

The Jam was held at Jellystone park in Warrens Wi and we found that when we got there it was no regular campground.  The place has a huge indoor water park, really cool cabins and a damn cool skate park.  We figured the place would have strict rules but not once did we find ourselves on the receiving end of a toung lashing.  In fact all the BMX'ers were treated like KINGS in our $500 a night villas.  NOT BAD!!!  Thanks to the Baco guys (Chad Degroot and Dave Friemuth) for setting it up.  Can't wait until they do another.

I was a little too busy having a "good time" that I didn't shoot nearly as many photos as I should have so thanks to Sean Myskis for the few extra ones.

Paul Wall and a few other Albe's locals made the trip too. Somehow Paul avoided the sunburn of death this time.

Jason Suchan has always had dreams of owning a harem (look it up).  I think this is just the beginning.

Craig Heneke didn't enter the comp because his shoulder hurt.  After spening some time with his doctor (Dr. J. Daniels) he seemed fine to me.

Dave Osato and Andy Kent sat on the porch of the villa, got pretty drunk and bitched about everything from hockey, to damn Michigan kids, to ugly girls.  After a while it was like watching those 2 old guys in the balcony on the Muppet Show.  These 2 should take their act on the road.

Dave Freimuth is just one of the fellows behind BACO.  Find a way to get as many of the BACO videos as you can and you will not be dissapointed. Matt Sparks in the background is STOKED!

I have now heard through the grapevine that Kink's Dirty Dan wants to move into the Albe's bus.

DK's own Catfish was on hand to rock the mic at the comp as well as pose with big time pro Vinny Vasquez.

A very talented fellow named Jayk brought his guitar and played for the crowd all night long.  He mostly did his own stuff but i think there was a Johnny Cash Cover in there somewhere. Check his site at .www.jaykmusic.com or his myspace at www.myspace.com/thatjaykwhosings

There was a Pajama Party set up and Flip used it as an excuse to where his 9month old's outfit. He's not really that short ya know.  These girls are wearing roller skates...I think.

TROUBLE!!!! They may look sweet but they can probably all kick your ass!

I found this photo on Sean's memory card.  You tell me what's going on in this photo because i have no clue.

We were getting sick of people asking what famous people were on the bus so we made it so everybody knew.

Shortly after we put Dane's name on the side of the bus we were flagged down by some BMX kids that wanted Dane's autograph.

That's all for now.

p.s. There is talk of filling the Albe's bus and making a Cedar Point trip soon. If you may be interested gives me an e-mail at flip@albes.com
