[BigDaveZJ]

I don't really see the results changing, but there's less than an hour left!

[froggo27]

[JordanA]

I think it's safe to say that this election can be called.

[BigDaveZJ]

Especially since the poll closed this morning.

[DJJordache]

I'm just waiting until everyone has applied and then I will put mine in with a killer curb hopping flex pose and win by a landslide

[BigDaveZJ]

Hey Scott, just wanted to make sure you're cool with me using the pic from Cliffhanger for the main page. Your hoods a little dusty, maybe I could photochop it so it looks clean??

[jsteves]

Ouch. That was an ass whoopin'

[Colorado 5.9]

Dust? Ha Ha!

You'll have to ask Ryan. It's his photo.

Thanks guys! I'm a bit surprized. I figured I'd do well but not that well. Thanks !!!!
