Happy Holidays Everyone!

Shortly after my trip to SoCal for the Heuvos III premier party, I went to the Eminem/Limp Bizkit concert in Detroit with my friend Cindy Webler on Halloween Weekend. We drove up to Detroit and ended up getting lost in the ghettos of Detroit while trying to find our hotel. Somehow, we ended up getting to the show an hour early. We had no idea where our seats were, but actually we didn’t care. We had a game plan in effect, we wanted backstage passes not nose bleed rafter seats. We stood in a long line to get in. Once in all the people were just walking up the stairs and on to their seats. I happened to notice glass doors that looked somewhat important so we wondered through them. While standing there waiting for an elevator, this guy comes through and says, “Ladies, such a shame you can’t get on the floor without a pink arm band.” We look at each, “huh?” He walks over turns his back to me, and pulls out two pink arm bands. I grabbed them like a kid snatching up candy at a parade or something. Anyway, we got down to the floor and ended up in the front row!

The opening bands were Exibit and Papa Roach. After Papa Roach, our luck got even better. A guy walks up to us and hands us two post event passes, he said they were from the base player of Papa Roach.
We were too happy! Next up was Eminem. He came out a Jason/Halloween mask with a chainsaw! His hometown crowd went nuts for him and as you guessed it we were in the middle of what was about to be the mosh-pit! We lasted maybe 3 songs front row, when my friend Cindy couldn’t take it anymore, she lifted her arms like a little girl wanting her mom or dad to pick her up. Actually this worked for her. A security guard lifted her right out and away from the masses of people going insane on each other. I knew I had to get out of there too or I would end up getting squashed! So I lifted my arms but it was too extreme at this point. I was on my own. I tried getting out but a bunch of guys were trying to keep me in there by holding my legs and feet. It was kind of haunting. Seeing Eminem up there with a Jason mask and me struggling to get away. It was like I was in a Friday the 13th movie. Somehow I fought my way through and narrowly escaped getting beaten to death. All that good luck in getting front row seats didn’t end up being as great as we though. Next thing I know these security guards were shuffling me along and I ended up losing my friend. I thought the security was tight at the Heuvos Premier, but these people were down right rude! I kept telling them that I thought my friend is up there close to the mosh pit where I just came from and that we drove all the way from Ohio 4 hours — we can’t loose each other! I talked until I was blue in the face, but no one would listen. Finally I found someone who would help me. The guy was kind enough to take me all the way back to the front of the crowd. Sure enough there she was waiting for me in a somewhat safe corner avoiding bodies that were getting thrown all over the place. She thought I was still in the Mosh Pit! Anyway, I was very relieved. We later noticed this guy giving a couple girls some passes that we didn’t have. So I walked over and asked him for some. He smiled and gave us both two VIP passes!

At this point we had no idea what they were good for. All we knew is that we had some other passes other than our after show passes. Turned out there was a VIP section complete with couches right where they do sound in the slightly above all the moshers. Kid Rock was up there. And some pro athletes from Detroit. Of course we hung out there for the rest of the show. Next up was Limp Bizkit! My personal avorite! Anyway, into the second or third song, my friend Cindy pushes me over to the other side of her. I’m wondering what the heck she did that for when she whispers in my ear, “Oh my God Cindy, Guess who is right beside me, it’s Marshall!” (Marshall Mathers a.k.a. Eminem – you know 00 Slim Shadey) Who by the way is her favorite, she says she’s going to marry him someday. The funny thing is, she just froze and didn’t even say anything to him. She didn’t want to be the one to make him mad and make him leave. I didn’t blame her. We noticed some guy tried to talk to him and he looked mad, he was simply trying to watch Limp Bizkit. People forget that these people are human. He didn’t hang long. But he was so close to Cindy she could have pinched his butt (like she was doing in her head). We talked to some people about where to go for the after show party. Someone told us to be in a certain section by the end of the show. They also said try to be one of the first ones there, they don’t take everyone. So near what we thought was the encore we tried to get to that section.

As we were walking up the aisle to the section, Fred Durst says over the mic, “Hey all you people in the stands come on down to the floor, security you better let them through too because we’re gonna have some fun!” The stampede instantly started I can’t even describe it! Figures we were right in the path and trying to go the opposite direction. Kind of like deciding to go for an ocean swim as a tidal wave approaches. We scrambled over to the top of a wall that had was about an eight foot drop. We knew he had to jump or end up trampled to death. With no time to think about it we both dropped off the wall just as the tidal wave of people roared by. Again, it was like we were in the middle of a horror movie as we avoided death for the second time! This crowd was like nothing I have ever seen! You couldn’t tell where the stage started and stopped. It looked as though Fred was standing on people! We saw people coming out of this crowd completely mangled like they were in a war. We saw several girls with blood & cuts all over them being helped out of the place. Afterwards we got to the section and waited to go to the after show party. There were a ton of people already waiting there. So this big security guy comes out and says, “All you people with after show passes, listen up. We have 3 rules. One, you must be 18! Two, no guys! And three, no cameras!” No problem there – we were in! The party’s girl to guy ratio was like 7 girls to 1 guy — good odds for the guys. Time to mingle. We hung out with the drummer from Limp Bizkit, (only we didn’t know until we looked at their CD cover the next day). We did however hang out with Coby the lead singer of Papa Roach. And we mingled with people who were fun. We kept telling everyone we declared it “Cindy Day,” after introducing ourselves for the 100th time. James, the guy who gave us the VIP passes, hooked us up. Pretty well that night, that’s for sure! We told him we were starving so he guided us over to Limp Bizkits dressing room. They had a spread that nobody had even touched. So there we were pigging out with no one even in the room. We kept laughing, instead of being in the hospital or trampled to death we were eating Limp Bizkit’s food in his dressing room! Too cool! How embarrassed we would have been if someone walked in of any importance.

After feeding our faces, we went back over to the party and thought we would mingle more. That wasn’t to be though. As we walked over there we heard a gunshot! Next thing you know the lights were brightened and security people were yelling, “party’s over, everyone out!” That was it, we were out of there. We bought the Newspaper the next day, but never did find out what had happened. I hope no one was actually shot.

The following weekend I was off to the ATV Awards Banquet near Cincinnati. My fellow trophy girl friend Danielle went down with me. She drove so fast, instead of taking the normal 4 hours to get there, we made it in like two! She’s nuts! I had a really great time there. We saw a lot of people we knew and met a bunch of new people. It was nice seeing my friends up on stage getting their awards, especially our editors/promoters here at ATV Scene — John & George for once again getting the Promoter of the Year Award for their fine job with this year’s Buckeye Nationals in Orrville, OH. It was fun watching the Pit Crew Challenge. Danielle and I were the trophy’s girls for it. Too fun!

Afterwards, everyone went to the hotel bar and mingled. Jerky (Scott G) from our “Jerky’s World” column interviewed me on a mini tape recorder. Which was funny. That ended the night for me. I came back home to Canton the next day. Danielle sped the whole way home again at about 85 mph! Then that night I went to Akron to see Samantha 7 again. Danielle and my friend Brandi went with me. Brandi ended up getting her boobs signed that night! I think she regretted it the next day, since it wouldn’t come off, but it was fun at the time!
The night before Thanksgiving I was a guest on our co-produced chat night, which is actually at ATV Source.com. Danielle, John, George and Jerky dropped in the chat, they were all going out that night in the Flats of Cleveland. So that tells you how loyal I am to my fans! I would have loved to go with them.

Speaking of fans — lets get to your questions.

Wuz up! Cindy!
Nothing here. Just telling you that you look fine and so is your partner do you both have Boyfriends?
Junkcars99

Junkcar99,
Thanks for the compliment! Danielle and I are both single…

Hi Cindy
Im 14, I live by Sean Sermini. I race Honda 250R’s. Im gonna be a pro someday,
will you marry me? Or at least send me some more pictures :)
Thanks,
Shane Watson

Shane,
I know Sean, he’s a nice guy. Too bad he can’t keep up with his column, “Serm Says.” It was a big hit. Tons of people were looking forward to regularly reading his column. He says he’s going to keep it up once they get caught up with all the new stuff going on at Nac’s. I guess life at Nac’s has him real busy — that or his girlfriend Erica does! Anyway keep thinking the way you do and practicing. I’m sure you’ll be a pro someday if you practice at it enough. As for marrying you, sorry you are way to young for me! Keep coming back to the site for pics. I can’t send them via e-mail!

Hey Cindy,
This pic of you on the 250r at the top of the page is so awesome! Your
beautiful and so is the machine. I’m a big 250R guy even though I’m only 16.
If you had your choice between a beast of a 250R, or that dumb ass
looking thumper of a Raptor what would you pick? I’m a big two stroker myself
but i was just wondering what you prefer. I’ll talk to you later.
Marc

Marc,
You’re a two stoker huh? Well hang in there you’ll learn and get good at it with time.
About the picture. That was taken by John Pellan on one of his quads. I like the looks of the 250R and the fact that it has dominated for so many years. I must admit, I like he Raptor better though. It’s current looking – more 2000ish if you will.

Hi Cindy..
I’m sending you a shot of my sand-throwing Banshee. I built this for hill climbing and dragging. I would LOVE to get some shots of you on this quad. You’re hot looking on those quads! You make some of the plain-Jane quads look good. So what do you say? Next time you’re around Michigan let’s do it.
Bye Cindy,

Fuzzy,
That’s a sweet quad! Great job! Next time I’m in MI maybe I’ll look you up. Or maybe see you at the Red Bud National or something. Hey, why are you called “Fuzzy”?

Hi Cindy,
I just wanted to let you know I also have my own website down here in Australia, my name is Anthony McGuire. I’m an ex-speedway rider. My site is primarily for speedway etc, but also I have just added a quad racing page as it is getting huge out here in Oz . I would like to further promote the sport out here to really bring it up to par with the states. I also write for magazines out here and would like to start doing some pieces on quad racing in the near future to further promote the sport. So darling, if you would like check it out
Hear from you soon

Anthony,
G-Day Mate!
We’ll send over the troops to check out what it’s like racing ATVs on your side of the world.

Hello Cindy,
I’m a new fan of yours. I would like to see you pictured on the best ATV made – the DS650. How could I go about getting an autographed poster of you for my garage to hang next to my ATV? Race hard and dont look back – or all you’ll see is dust and losers.
Lots of luv!
Your new fan
Ed

Ed,
I have a couple new posters in the works right now. First off, I’m doing one for Kame’s Sports here in North Canton, Ohio. It’s a personal one he plans to hang in his showroom. If it turns out well, I might mass produce it. Secondly, Hi-Per Technology has contacted me about doing an upcoming advertisement for their new carbon fiber racing wheels, which will be in all the magazines. While we shoot for that we’ll shoot a poster that will be co-produced by ATV Scene, Hi-Per and ITP Wheels. We’ll have plenty of posters available through our site in the future.

Hi There Good Looken’.
Do you ever go to sand drags and watch the bad ass ATV’s there? That’s what I’m into. I just built an ‘87 methanol burning Banshee. I’ll send you a pic of it. It rocks up the hill or at the drag strip. I downloaded all the pic’s of you to add to my ATV screen saver. Would you have a problem with me posting a few of your pic’s with a link to your site on my web page?
Well keep that body in shape,
So see you later.

Dennis Federspiel

Dennis,
Nice Banshee. What’s your time on the drag strip? I use to be into that
sport. Only for a minute though Too loud! I once was at the Pro Nationals in Norwalk,
OH. I watched a jet fueled funny car blow up while I was in the lounge area,
I thought the plexy glass was going to break! Thanks for having me as a
screen saver. No problem in linking to my page.

Hi Cindy,
I think you’re hot! My friend and I like to ride our 3 wheelers. My friend has a Honda 350X and I have an ATC 250R. Do you like 3 wheelers? Write me back at Snodirt7c2@––– because I want to tell every one a
really hot chick emailed me.

Snodirt7c2,
Yes I like 3 wheelers. I don’t think they are as safe as a quad though. You need to work harder while riding a trike. That is one of the first forms of anything motorized that I have ever rode. When I was about 8 years old you could rent them on the beach down in Florida where my dad lives. They had a track all set up to ride on. So my friend Sherry and I convinced my dad to let us. I did well, Sherry on the other hand went off the track up and over the old tires that surrounded the track as a boundary. Out of instinct she put her legs down. After the guy who rented them to us had warned us twenty times not to do that. She had the nastiest tire burns I had ever seen!

Hey Cindy,
My name is Chad and I was looking at your articles. Quads are awesome! How did you get started driving Quads? If you know who Scott Generke is, he’s my uncle. He told me about this web site. I just thought I would give a holler. I wish I could have gotten into something like this, but with college, I can’t afford it now. I think it would be awesome to get started after school is over though.
Well, back to studying. Talk to ya later.
Chad

Chad,
You admit you’re related to Jerky? Just kidding. Read my past issues to find out how I got started in this sport. Scott’s too young to have a nephew in college isn’t he? He must be way older than I thought.
Good luck with school & studying!

Hey Cindy,
I am so impressed with your column and also with being a “hot” chick on a quad. I am glad to see there are more out there, especially ones that don’t just ride but actually know what they are riding. People just don’t believe girls like us can have a little mechanical know how and not be afraid of a little mud. Plus, where else are you gonna find such kick ass parties and guys then at the track? Right?

Chrissy,
You said it sister! I wouldn’t give up this sport for anything. You should have included a picture with your letter. If you want write me back with a picture. I’m sure the guys reading this wouldn’t mind at all.

Cindy,
I think you and Stacy should make a calendar if ‘yall ever do I would like to be an owner of one.
Thanks
Jeremy Dugas

Jeremy,
Stacy unfortunately has moved to California :( Danielle and I are putting one together real soon! Keep your eyes opened for it!

Cindy,
You are the hottest looking thing i have ever seen. Are you married? Your
jugs are HUGE. Email me back at Cyberguy

Cyberguy,
Thanks. No I’m not married. They aren’t that huge!

Dear Cindy,
Andrew L. had a very interesting question about whether you could touch your nose with your tongue. My question for you is –can I touch your nose with MY tongue?

Also, with the recent election, I was quandary about who to cast my vote to. It was either George W, yourself or J. Pellan. I know how you and John feel about off-roaders’ rights, but where do you stand on gun owners’ rights? Also, which one of you will donate more to my special interest group?
Bye,
Dist.14 250A #18
bengelp@—.net

Dist.14 250A #18,
No I don’t think you can touch my nose with your tongue. I think we should have the right to bear arms –just like our constitution says. I asked JP for his thoughts on that. He’s not into guns that much. He said he would like to some day see our country’s police officers having bigger and more powerful guns than the criminals always seem to have. John has more money than me, so you’ll have to go to him for your special interest contributions.

Hey Cindy!
I love your column, but when are you going to come to a Best In The Desert race? Motocross is cool but us desert racers are the real men. In MX you just do your little heat races and then a main and go home. In the desert you’re racing through hundreds of miles of the worst dust and rocks that you can imagine. So think about us desert racers too, not just the motocrosers.
c-ya later,
Jeff Waldaias
p.s. Why don’t you come do a pose on my banshee?

Jeff,
Sounds manly and all for hardcore racers like you, but not too great for spectating. It’s hard to get coverage for desert racing. As far as getting more desert coverage, it’s tuff because it’s not as big as other forms of ATV racing and for us it’s on the other side of the country. Anyone out there want to become our desert and hare & hound corespondent? If so e mail us and we’ll get more desert racing stuff in the scene.

Dear Cindy
What should I do my ball joints keep breaking on my practice quad. I lube them up but to no avail. I can’t keep going through this hassle it’s very frustrating. Please help me with my balls!
Dubber

Dubber,
You poor thing. I’ve heard of this problem before. I’m pretty sure it’s called blue balls or something like that. From what I understand it can be an aching pain. I wish there was something I could do to help you. The only advise I can give is to hang in there. Hope you’re balls don’t keep breaking like this and you get better soon. Keep us updated with how you’re doing.

Hi Cindy,
How are you doing? I’m writing from Managua Nicaragua, here in Central America. My name is Jonathan. We do some MX riding here. We are improving a lot, although the sport here is very new. I own an ’89 TRX 250R. It’s pretty much modified. I think you are a very beautiful girl, and it’s an honor to have girls like you in the quad sport.
best regards
Jonathan
Maybe you could have your readers check out my web page on the red riders of Nicaragua www.ibw.com.ni/u/jesquive

Johathan,
Nice 250R. I can’t believe you came across one all the way down there! Our riders in the states have a hard time finding them. They seem to get snatched up as soon as they go up for sale. It’s pretty amasing actually. The quad is over ten years old but yet it’s still considered one of the very best ever made.
Thanks for the pic and the compliments!

Hello Cindy,
Here’s another two for the album. We have it on video too!
Rosie
Rosie,
Thanks for the pictures. I’m sure my fans will love to see another chick
near a quad!
Hey Cindy,
This is your buddy Mark Straubinger, AKA “Banger”, The voice of the Maxxis ATV Nationals. I see that you have been a busy girl lately. I just wanted you to know that I have the hottest picture of you ever. You (as well as your readers) can check it out on my website at www.braddedon.com/banger (soon to be BangerRace.com). Click on the trophy cluster on the home page to find the “hidden egg”. I just finished announcing the “Winter National Olympics” in Gainesville Fl. and Ted w/ Nic’s Pro-X said to tell you hello. THE PICTURE IS HOT!
Talk to you later,
“Banger”

Hi Mark,
Nice to hear from you! Thanks for sharing your site with me and my readers. Great job on your web site. It’s very cleverly constructed. Also thanks for including me/us in the pictures! You’re right that is a nice picture you have us there. Ted and I did lunch before he went to FL. He was passing through Ohio and stopped by. He told me he was going down, but I didn’t know you were announcing or I would have passed on a hello!
Keep in touch!

Hi Cindy,
I got the Heuvos 3 video and it rocks but the girls in there are nice but which one are you all look the same other then one had well lets say larger ones, lol. Do you have your own home page or pics of you that I can see more of you?
Thank you,
ENUFSEDTOY

ENUFSEDTOY,
The girls you see in the beginning and during the halftime show as I call it, are California girls. Friends of Wes. I’m one of the trophy girls during the Division 4 Freestyle Competition and one of the trophy girls at the Buckeye Nationals. I’m not in it a lot just a few shots of me during the freestyle event and the back of me throwing prizes to the crowd. Speaking of the video, if you read my last column, I spoke of the band Crazytown. The song in the beginning is one of theirs called “Butterfly”.

Well, everyone, Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And don’t
forget to wish me a birthday on Dec. 8th!
Until next time, Take Care & God Bless.

Cindy

PS: My friend Danielle is going to join in all our reindeer games, she’s coming on as an editor she’ll be getting the scoop with all your favorite ATV racers. So keep an eye out.
