This past weekend I was sitting in a room filled with some of the best motorcycling talent in the world. Included were motocross racers Ryan Villopoto and Timmy Ferry, road racer Roger Hayden, drag racer Rickey Gadson, stunt rider Kane Friesen, and off-road rider and Baja Champion Larry Rosseler.
As I was in the room watching the guys talk about their battle scars, they had a respect for one another. Sometimes we forget that even though they are different, each has a distinct talent and ability. I hate it when people say motocross is better, or road race is better, ect. Each discipline of racing a difficult in its own right.
And after watching Villopoto amazed at Hayden's loss of pinky finger and all the gnarly pictures he saw, there was a respect. I doubt Ryan would admit it but each racing in its own right is gnarly.
Just another lesson from just sitting back and watching people. I love people watching.
This was the display that we worked out of.
So i really wanted these boots, but $250 was a little much for something I'll hardly wear. Now if i lived in Texas, that would be a different story.
This was the view from the elevator. Very nice hotel. The Gaylord (Focher) Texan Resort.
This past weekend I had the privilege of going to Bass Pro Shop. So it wasn't entirely my cup of tea but if I was in to all that stuff, I would be in heaven. I think they carried everything needed for the outdoors advocate and then some. Below are some pictures from the night out on the town at Bass Pro Shop. Be ready to be amazed!
For this SoCal girl, its the first time I have seen a "take a number" sign in front a a gun display. We wait for everything else, why not guns!
The store is big enough to house a restaurant. Ryan took full advantage of the T-Bone steak that was on the menu. He wanted to eat it so bad, he couldn't hold still for a pic.
Kristen in some overalls...she would blend in if it weren't for the bright white jacket.
These were a tad big for Kristen
Just in case you don't ever want to get while cropping cranberries
You know a store is huge when it has a little river, bridge, and mill inside the building.
Ryan is gettin his Indiana Jones on...
I love this pic. Adam is concentrating very hard to get his signature perfected (which will be worth a lot someday)
Everyone was having a good time.
Where did she go?
Cool guy Garrett Anderson didn't want to sign an autograph for me. I was a little sad after being such a loyal fan for over a decade.
