No linkee but I've got a videotape of that interview for you, Steve, but, oh yeah, you'd need a TV and, ahem, a VCR. |

The commentators seem to really appreciate what a big deal EBR's effort and successes have been, and they seem to be going out of their way to mention it. Good for them. |

>>>Erik looked excited. That's not only accurate . . it may be the understatement of the year. Erik is the healthiest and most focused I have ever seen him. He's also very hard at work on some future project that I think is going to be a huge hit. Exciting times . . . |

Excited? You all think Erik is just excited? Jumpin' out of his skin may be closer. Toss in exuberant, stir in a little "Damn I wish I was riding", mix in just a hint of disbelief, blend it all up with enough money to actually get the job done (but not enough to just let loose) and bake in some of the most talented, dedicated pros in the industry and you get something more than just excited! |

>>>stir in a little "Damn I wish I was riding" We had such a conversation this weekend. Most interesting. When Erik watches Geoff and Danny . . .heck, any of these talents young riders, his mind is in the seat. He palms sweat, he leans, he growls he twitches and he winces. I love that kind of passion and it's the publicly visible embodiment of an entire group of people . . . as the band slowly reforms, behind the scenes making great sacrifices and doing amazing things. This is poised to be a most amazing year. Court |

GREAT recipe! Thanks DaveS.! [Whoops, edit, typed/read too fast, Mr. Gess.] Someone pass me a slice... Thank you Court for your inestimably accurate input. I'd LOVE to sit besides Erik and watch the flinching... mebbe defend myself as need be. (Message edited by 86129squids on June 04, 2012) |

I was talking with Erik and his wife at the merchandise tent Sunday. He was over the top excited...Mentioned to me himself something about wanting to be out there but that his wife would likely kill him and that he was to old for it anyhow. Got a laugh out of him when my 5 year old son DIDN'T want his autograph after Erik offered. I said that must not happen too often! He said actually it just did with another child... |

Not sure about the other child, but my son finally warmed up to him and wanted his autograph. He still is talking about meeting Erik, Geoff, and Danny. It was the first racing of any kind he has been to, so he was a bit overwhelmed! He did have a nice conversation about music with Erik...that is the biggest thing in my sons life at the moment. I was glad they could connect on some level! LOL |
