I didn’t take any pics this year….these two did a great job. Thanks guys!
Now a message with some great news from Swanson……
Hello everyone, wanted to thank each and everyone of you who turned out on Saturday for Pee Wee’s 9th festival! We had great weather the whole day…not too hot, not too humid.
I wanted to let everyone know first of all that I received some fantastic news from Rachel Sylvester yesterday on the phone. Rachel told me that with help, Danielle was able to stand up and get around a little. She had some pain doing it, but her doctor’s think she’ll make a full recovery in time. Danielle Crocker was riding the beginner teeter-totter in the “stunt’s” area when her wheel dropped off of the edge of the teeter, and she fell on her head. She fell so quickly, that she didn’t have time to put her arms out, or try to roll. Thanks to the Lincloln Co. rescue squad workers, she was stabilized and taken to the local hospital and examined.

On June 21st, 2008 the 9th annual Pee Wee’s Memorial Mountain Bike Festival will be held from 10 a.m. til ?
This year the festival will be scaled-back to a celebration among riders, the community of friends developed through the years, and all those who wish to honor the spirit of Harold “Pee Wee” Morrison and what he created in Lincolnton, N.C.
It’s about more than a place to ride, a place to share fun memories, a place to conquer trail obstacles, and even more than the thrills, chills, and spills we take on the trails. It’s about those things that bring us to the trails and keep us coming back for more!
So, this year’s festival will be a true celebration of being part of a community of people who share all of these things, and wish to be together with friends, new faces, new friends, all sharing our love of mountain biking at Pee Wee’s!
There will be fun events for the family and prizes to be given away. No competitions like usual, more fun for everyone! The admission will be $5.00 each person, additional raffle tickets can be purchased for more chances at prizes.
The dirt jumps will be “sessioned” all day! (waiver must be signed!)
The stunts will be “sessioned” all day! (waiver must be signed!)
The trails will be “ridden” all day long! (waiver must be signed!)

After the festival ends….a very special concert will happen!!!
The local band
FAKE I.D. (Sublime Cover Band)
will be playing for your enjoyment! You will be allowed to camp on the grounds after the concert…
Saturday seemed to be about the best riding weather you could ask for. Low 70’s and sunny. Necker wanted to hit up SMP. Those of you that know the trail, well you konw that you’re wasting your time if you ride it when its wet. He’d been mentioning occasionally that he’d like to give the entrance line another run. No one has ever cleaned this line. It has been attempted a handful of times by a few and every time has ended in a gnarly crash. Not just your general pile up into the soft rhodos, but a gnarly crash. The roots were dry, the dirt was slightly damp enough to give a bit of tack and there were no leaves on the ground. Welp, this is about as good as its gonna get. Necker scouted out his line he wanted to take and hiked back up to the top. You can just watch from here on out. This kind of wreck kind of puts a damper on making you want to hit up the rest of the gnarly lines that follow. Unfortunately this is the first line of the day on the link-up. No time to warm up at all. Enjoy.
