leastmost.com interview

Rob Tibbs with leastmost recently did an interview with me and I'm really psyched on the finished product. Lots of cool insider info about the early years of the Hoffman empire, my ongoing battle with my knees and my life now. Thanks Rob and Steve Crandall for hooking this up.

OS BMX Reunion Check-in, Schedule and Rules

ARRIVAL AND CHECK-IN INSTRUCTIONS

• Everyone must check-in at the Lodge, not the camp office. Will be required to fill out a waiver and will receive a wrist band which you will need all weekend to have access to camp.

• The invite list is closed and you must be on the invite list to attend, no guest please, the event is at capacity. This is a private event and is not open to the public. Sorry if you didn't receive an invite but walk ups or party crashers will be turned away.

RULES

Woodward's rules are pretty simple, but no exceptions.

1. No minors unless accompanied by a parent. You can't bring your nephew, niece, kids friends or neighbors kids. This is a tough one, and apologize in advance if this situation occurs, minors will not be allowed at camp without their parent.
2. Helmet, elbow and knee pads required, and will not be supplied so bring your own.

• *NOTE* No on-site medical will be provided, this is just like any other backyard session...except its Woodward with a bunch of old dudes who will be taking a lot of Advil on Monday.

Thanks for your corporation and understanding.
