Well, now you can add Cody Bristlin to your list too-- Last night he was presented with a very nice ARC Gear Bag wtih goodies inside. Alan Long made a wonderful presentation during our riders meeting and it was so great--there was a good turn out and amazingly many people had not heard of RiderDown before and were asking questions. I'll let Alan post about his good news of that!

Thank you all for your support. Cody was at one of those humps in the road being bummed about not riding yet adn this really brightened his spirits. I'll post more about that under his injured thread.

We are so proud to be part of the RiderDown family!

Fantastic, We knew Alan was having a hard time running you and Cody down, We're glad he finally caught up to the both of you.

We are happy you all enjoyed the surprise. I know Cody and you all have been through a rough time and we are so glad to hear it is going well.

All the best,

Joe

We had a great time sat. night 8-5-06 at the supercross in Spokane Wa. I was so honored to present Cody Bristlin with the ARC angle gear bag. I first want to thank everyone at Extreme Motorsports for being so welcome to Riderdown.org. The people that run this track are AWESOME, they had me come up in the middle of their riders meeting to present this gift to Cody and all night there was not one person from that racing facilaty that did not thank me and Riderdown.org for this. Even the owner came up to me later and talked to me about Riderdown.org. I only hope this has opened up some more eyes to this great organization and it can continue to grow. Thank you Bruce ,Joe ,Amy and everyone else that made this possable for me to do for Cody. Cody, I want to thank you for being such a great young man,for all the other kids to look up. You and you family are such great people to have in this sport. Thank you all and I hope to see you Cody on the track again soon.

Cody looked surprised and pleased. I'm glad there's such a group as RiderDown to help him get through the tough part...waiting to get back to normal. Very Cool!

It's a great feeling to pack up those gear bags and know an injured child is going to have their day brightened. It's a not so great feeling to know the recipient is getting the gear bag b/c they are injured. But at least we know they'll be smiling when they open it up and see all the cool stuff they got. A big thanks again to Rocky Mountain ATV*MC, Anti-Monkey Butt and all the other donors who are making these packages possible.
