have been really busy lately, as you can imagine.

the frog has landed today in San Francisco and we are scheduled to fly on the 26th, land in L.A., make some preparations and get to Hollister on June 2nd.

the TTC starts on June 3rd and ends on June 7th.

had (and still have) financing problems but will get over it.
sponsors and friends were only good for about 2/3 of the costs, but i haven't lost hope yet.
raisng money from the PBB members also turned out to be a
disaster...:(:(:(

i hope that inspite all the difficulties it will be worthwile and that everybody will have a good time in Hollister.
believe me that if i knew how hard it is going to be i would probably have given it all up. maybe it's good i didn't know...:D :D

thank you for asking and caring:) :)

Only good for 2/3? What should this have been a free ride for you?

Yeah, I guess that came off a little harsh. But, come on... he knew where the competition was and it was not going to be cheap to get here. Should not have been a surprise.

I'm with ya Ken. Frog sounds like just because he wants to go to TTC that folks should step up and pay his bill, come on ... if *I* wanted to go i'd likely have to pay 100% of it myself as do most of the competitors why should he be any different ...

Just what I am getting at. There have been competitors from the other side of the country. They trailered their shit all the way across the country to get there. Footed the bill all them selves. They knew what it was going to cost from the start. Mind you, not $15k worth. But, what do you expect to pay?!?!?

I would give my money to MudTruck before I goave to the Frog. he built his own stuff with his own MONEY. And he is getting there. From reading the posts here, I hope MudTruck kicks some major ass in the competition.

Sorry if I got your name wrong.

I would be willing to bet the farm we are talking about a larger sum than 20K total.

Hell, it cost 1000 bucks to truck a vehicle across country, flying a BEAST like the frog cost 10K I bet!

Frog's part was probably near 15K.....
