Props!

Props this issue goes to Ron "Boots" Feather and his family. Who seems to know no end to their generosity and kindness. Ron opened his doors to the EDM wrecking crew so we could do a story on Pit Bikes. While that in itself is nothing to be giving props for. It is the way he did it that was exemplary. He didn't just arrange some bikes for us to ride, he literally opened his doors and let us stay with him.

We got a late start on Friday leaving the EDM offices and had 6 hrs of driving to get to the 2UP compound. We should have arrived at midnight. After major traffic added 2 additional hours to our drive we found ourselves rolling in at 2 am. Ron was there with a smile on his face. One look at the photo to the right will tell you we were glad to see the smile!

He welcomed us into his home and after a few minutes of hellos we promptly fell asleep, four guys in sleeping bags on his living room floor. Most people I know wouldn't be this cool to family! The crazy thing is there were two other guys asleep on his couch! So we know he wasn't doing this because we were doing a story. In the morning we were awakened by the wonderful sounds of his wife, Melissa in the kitchen fixing coffee and breakfast and the buzz of his children waking up.

While we were out riding and playing with the bikes Melissa went to the local sandwich shop and returned with a huge platter of sandwiches for us to consume. I guess what I'm trying to say is we had a fantastic time and the kindness was truly appreciated!

Thanks for being fantastic people!
