Ask Cindy 10-3-00

Year 1 Issue 5
By Cindy Campbell

I’ve had such a great time lately I hardly know where to begin. Okay, shortly after my last column I attended my high school reunion. I know this has nothing to do with ATVing but I can’t help but mention it. I went with my best friend from high school, Brandi Suarez, whom I haven’t seen in a very long time. We picked up right where we left off and had a blast! Shortly after our reunion, she had won tickets to go see C.C Deville (from Poison) and his new band Samantha 7. They totally rocked! It’s not the same music any of us are use to listening to from Poison. It’s completely new and uniquely different. I liked their show so much I purchased their CD. They are a bunch of down to earth guys which surprised me. Being where they have been & all.

Shortly after that I was off to check out the Huevos III video premier and the SoCal Scene. My friend Danielle, (a fellow trophy girl from the last 2 years at the Orrville GNC) and I had decided to go with George Davis and John Pellan to represent ATV Scene — since we’re a sponsor of the video. We didn’t know quite what to expect, but heard the premier would be one heck of a party. We had exactly one hour to get from the airport to dinner then off to the party. A girl needs more time to get ready than the mere minutes we had, but somehow we pulled it off and rushed off for a night we’ll never forget.

We started the evening out at the Marrikesh, a Moroccan restaurant. Out of the ordinary food that’s for sure. A lot of eating with your hands type of stuff. I remember this elephant ear looking thing stuffed with chicken & veggies. It was o.k. I guess, if you like powdered sugar dough and chicken. Then the main course was a really tasty lemon chicken & some type of beef. My most memorable moment was John Pellan getting carried away with the fact that there was no silverware, rules or manners to abide by. He reminded my of Homer Simpson or maybe more like a starving Al Bundy. He even ate a lemon peel, then talked Danielle into doing it. They both pulled it off, and ganged up on me to do it. I tried it but spit it out. Yuck! I’m not into lemon peels! It was a total free for all after that! We looked like a bunch of cavemen. Get this, amongst all the food tossing and total kaos, there was even a Moraccan belly dancer getting jiggy with a lot of the guys. Somehow the cavemen in attendance controlled themselves and left the dancer alone and boarded the half million dollar H-Bomb bus, which would take us to the premier at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana.

Security was tight! You people should have seen the crowd, and the static just to get in this place. Crazy! I’m surprised they didn’t body cavity search people! There must have been a thousand people all there to see Wes Miller’s newest creation then punk rock to the happening band GutterMouth. It was a fun night overall. Too many vodka & cranberry juices to go into all the details. Good job Wes Miller and the H-bomb crew! What an exciting video! I guess you could say Dana Creech was the star of the movie. When he wasn’t seen doing hard time in a Mexican jail cell he was jumping huge jumps while doing what I thought of as impossible arial tricks. Speaking of Creech, we got to talking that weekend– he’s hilarious — what a cool guy.

After the premier party the sponsors, riders and VIP people in the video got back on the bus, and we were off to an after hours bar called the Shark Club. About five of us were having fun dancing around the dance floor, mostly mocking and laughing at John Pellan, who was mesmerized by some double-D sized chic that stripped into her bra on the dance floor. After that all of his dance steps were way-way off — too funny. I had a feeling we should check up on the rest of the bunch, but never acted on it. Sure enough, we got left behind. I asked the bouncer where the big bad Huevos bus was, as if they hid it from us around the corner or something. No such luck, he said it had left 20 minutes prior. I thought Pellan was going to freak out like a cornholio spell of Beavis. He took it pretty bad, I guess he had some inside news on some serious after hours bus fun. Oh well, it was almost 3 AM anyway. Time to get back to the hotel. As we hailed a taxi, this drunken weirdo kept trying to pick me up. Usually I can ditch a guy pretty politely and no harm is done. Not this guy. Thank god the taxi rescued me and we were out of there.

The next night rolled around faster than we expected. We had wanted to go to the Viper Room in Hollywood, but by the time we all were ready it was too late to drive the 45 minutes into L.A., so nine of us piled into the rent a car (yep nine of us!) and went to an upscale bar called Asia 101 in Costa Mesa. It was expensive, but definitely a happening scene. Some German guys tried to pick me and Danielle up, they thought we were Swedish or something. I guess they didn’t know blondes can also come from Ohio. Would you believe I saw the low-life drunken scummy guy from the Shark Club? How did he manage to find the place, let alone afford to get in it? Thankfully I managed to dodge him pretty well. We dropped off everyone at Wes’, and I made us stop at Del Taco before we went back to the hotel. I had to have my late night Del Taco fix. Why they don’t have Del Taco here in the East is beyond me. It’s too good, way better than Taco Bell.

The next morning, Danielle and I decided to rent a car, after being stuffed into a rental car the night before — we looked at it as a must do! We found a real nice 2000 Mustang Convertible! How perfect! We were so excited to pick it up, I think it was the fastest either of us got ready the whole time we were there.

Two blondes in a V-8 Mustang convertable in SoCal, need I say more? Cindy and Danielle — AKA, Thelma & Louise out on the town! But of coarse we didn’t murder or rob anyone! Next on the weekend’s agenda was a yearly event called “Rubber-screw the theme it’s almost Halloween!” We were told we had to dress provocative (AKA Pimp-N-Ho style). So Wes’ friend Tiffany took us girls shopping down at Newport Beach, for the big night out! She cranked the Mustang’s stereo with a CD called Crazytown. The song called Butterfly put us in a great mood and we we’re primed and ready for some serious shopping, — fun-fun! We shopped & shopped. Thanks Tiffany! I later bought that CD. It’s so good! Everytime I listen to it, it reminds me of the fun time in SoCal.

We later met up with the rest of Wes’ friends. We hurried through dinner and we were off to Rubber! It was at the same bar/theater the Huevos video premier party was at –The Galaxy Theatre. Again security was too tight! But thanks to “Mr. I know everyone” Wes Miller, we all ended up on the VIP 3rd level! What a blast! Afterwards, we all went to an after hours spot called Majestic. This place rocked like it was 11 pm at 4 am!! The place was packed and they never seemed to stop. What a blast again! And of coarse, on the way out I saw that same scummy drunk starring at me from a corner in the distance. What is this guy stalking me now? I escaped the weirdo and got some much needed sleep.

It was time to head back to Ohio. We made our way to the boarding gate only to find that our connecting flight was cancelled. They said we would have to to stay overnight in Dallas. News to our ears. We convinced them that we would rather stay in sunny California another day and leave the same time the next day. That was it. We were stuck in SoCal! :) So we headed right to the beach. How we found everyone I’ll never know! We were just driving around and saw Dana Creech and his friend Ryan standing outside a bar that everyone else was in. Needless to say the extra day was just as much fun as the one prior.

Next scheduled happening is the Grand National Championship Awards Banquet on November 4th in Cincinnati. I’m rooting for my boys at Fast-Trak Promotions to win the promoter of the year award like they did last year. I can’t wait to see everyone there. If you’re going, stop by and say hello.
Now on to answering your questions.

Was you at Wayne County Speedway this year?
DOUG400EX

Doug,
Daah. You must have not read anything I write. Or, based on your grammar — you can’t read. Come clean — someone helped you write that long letter to me, right?

Cindy,
I first just want to compliment you on the latest Ask Cindy column. I have to say you are very beautiful, I hope you take no offense from this, but who is Stacy? She is awesome also. I love your latest pics on that Banshee. I have a grey/black/white 2001 Yamaha Raptor. I wish you could send a few pictures of you on the Raptor. Id like to put them on my web site: www.raptor.com

 

Thanks for your time gorgeous!
Chris Moore
P.S If you cant find a Raptor you could come by and we could use mine :)

Chris,
Thanks. I don’t know if you guys like what I have to say or just like looking at me, but thanks. I will try and get some pics on a Raptor. We had planned to visit Yamaha’s headquaters in Cypress, CA while at the Huevos video premier, but we ran out of time.

Hi Cindy,
Ok, you didn’t answer my question about your friends being single or not. And now I read on your webpage that your friend Stacey is from Orrville, OH? Then to really top things off, you post the pictures of the posters you made and tell us you are sold out! C-mon, that’s cruel. Is life worth living anymore? Maybe I should just join a monestary. :)
Your fireman friend,
Rich from Orrville, OH

Dear Rich,
I wasn’t implying Stacey is from Orrville, just that she was one of the trophy girls from the race at Orrville. Just because we sold out of posters at Steel City doesn’t mean we can’t make more! We’ll have lots of quality Cindy posters in the near future. Besides, I thought you firemen were tough?

Hi Cindy
I love the high heels on the kickstarter picture. Maybe you can come on down south and I can help with your technique. It takes perfect form to start my LT 500R.
Bronson Lee
Bronson,

What is it about heels that drive men crazy? I’ve gotten about ten e-mails that have mentioned how great I look in heels.

Hi Cindy,
I just finished reading your column for the first time. I give it two thumbs up! Good stuff to further “the life style”. Anyway, you mentioned, in a round about way, that you are from Ohio. My question is. Have you ever gone riding in a place called Wellsville, OH? It offers some of the most extreme riding east of the big river. I grew up there so I know the area fairly well. Some people I work with and myself go there fairly often. We would like to invite you along on a ride. If ever interested just drop a line. I’m a robotics programmer and the others are mostly professionals too so we are a fairly straight-laced bunch that just likes to hang it all out on quads and bikes.
Ride safe, have fun
Mike

Mike,
Thanks for the thumbs! Yes, I’ve heard of Wellsville. It’s down by the Ohio River. I have friends who ride there. I would love to go there sometime in the future. Although, I don’t like straight-laced guys. LOL

Hey Cindy,
Umm I am 14 and I am about to get a ATV and start racing local seasons. Umm I was wondering which ATV I should get for starters or something. I was looking at a 300EX or a Blaster or 400EX or something under $5,000 cuz my mom is a cheapo. So I need to know so I can umm have a hobbie besides basketball. Oh yea, I am about 5’6 and weigh about 130lbs so u know.
well bye.
Brad
P.S Umm your so beautiful!

Hi 14 year old Brad. Umm, are you for real? If so, don’t pick on your mom by calling her a cheapo! There are millions of kids in the world that don’t even have a bicycle let alone an ATV. Maybe you should get a paper route and help her pay for it! As for which one, I think you belong on a smaller one for starters. The Blaster or the new Honda 250EX.

Cindy,
Hey, I just found your page and I am glad to have stumbled upon such a beauty. I was wondering, where do you live, maybe we could “meet up” someday. If you’re interested I could send you a pic. Anyway, Do you know how fast the phat, wicked, bad-ass 2001 Raptor will go? I am really wanting to get one. Well hope to hear from you soon.
Im Out,
EZ~EL

EZ~EL,
You’ll have to read my past column to know where I live. I will give you a little hint. It’s the heart of it all! I heard the Raptor goes about 73 mph. If you have not checked out our Raptor report, then click here: Yamaha Raptor

Hi there Cindy,
I´m writing you from Peru over in South America (ever heard of Cusco, Machu Picchu?) I love your column and I also think that you are one of the sexiest and hottest girls in the world! Here in Peru we have some awesome places to ride, especially desert areas full of dunes that are very close to the Pacific Ocean. We all ride Yamaha Banshees here. A few months ago we made a trip to a place called Tres Cruces (three crosses) and we got some amazing photos. I’m going to try and scan them and send them to you, OK?
bye for now beauty,
Felipe

Felipe,
I love to hear from people so far away, you sound very sweet! Thanks for your nice comments! Anyway, yes if the pictures are of good quality I would more than likely post them!

Well hello Cindy.
I was wondering why I have never seen you at a GNCC race. It must be because you haven’t been to one because I’m sure I would have noticed you. If you ever make it to one , look for me under the Kawasaki canopy (my brother Todd races for Team Green ATV) and I’ll tell you everything you need to know about GNCC racing.
John

John,
I have been to one GNCC. It was a few years ago at Lisbon, OH. Tim Farr ended up getting 3rd place overall and it was his first ever cross county race! I think it torqued a lot of die hard cross country riders off because of how well he did and the fact that all the camera people talked to him more than they did the regular cross country guys.

Hi Cindy
I just came across your site by accident, but you’ve certainly made it worth it! I’m out here in far-off Cape Town, South Africa, where I ride a Polaris Trail Blazer, which I won (would you believe it)! in a lucky draw competition at an outdoor expo. I’m now looking for a rear rack for longer trips, but the stock pipe frame rack costs more here than the composite racks for Polaris Magnums. I would really like to buy it online if I can find it cheaper somewhere. None of the online stores seem to have it. Can you help?
I’m sending you a pic of my quad on top of the hill where I normally ride.
Cheers!
Stadler le Roux

Stadler,
I think you must be the farthest fan from me yet! I’m glad you stumbled onto our site. What luck winning the Polaris! Wish my luck was that good! As for your rack problem — I have no idea, sorry.

Dear Cindy,
I just saw you last week at the premier of Huevos III, and you are really beautiful! I was wondering how you got involved with being a trophy girl. It looks like a lot of fun, and you get to travel and meet so many cool people. Could you give me some tips on getting in the trophy girl scene?
Thanks!
Miranda

Miranda,
Finally a question I can answer, just joking! If you read my first column it tells how I got here. To be honest there was a great deal of luck involved. It’s pretty much all in who you know. We (myself and Fast-Trak Promotions) will be looking for trophy girls for a few big events in 2001. We may have another trophy girl hunt contest on ATV Scene soon. You should think about submiting a photo when we have the contest. I know Fast-Trak Promotions (and especially John Pellan) are always looking for new and hot trophy girl talent. I’m sure after he reads this, he’ll be asking me more about you. Keep in touch. It was great meeting you!

Hey Cindy!
How you doin’? My name is Craig LaBrocca we met on Wes Miller’s tour bus for the Huevos 3 premier. I still have a bruise from those vicious spikes of yours. What happened to you? One minute you’re off to check out the club, the next thing I know the bus is rolling and your gone. Hope you made it back alright. You seem to be in tune to what goes on in the ATV world. Through your web page it seems you follow the race scene & know about most of the riders out there, so maybe you can help me out. Next year we’re looking for a couple of up and coming riders for a new project we are doing. It’s the twelve hours of Pont De Vaux, anybody come to mind? Hope to here from you soon.
P.S. Let me know if you need more details.

Hey Craig,
Hope your bruises healed OK! Were you sitting across from me? I’m sorry. Well, if you read what I wrote so far, you know what happened to me. I was left behind. Why didn’t you come rescue me? As for your project, yeah — I need more details. Sounds great that you’re putting together a team for the legendary Pont De Vaux. I hear that the date falls on Sept 1, which is the same day as the final round of the ATVA Grand National Championships. You would think they would schedule that on different days. I would think if you’re paying all the expenses, you should get a ton of quality riders to go over and fight for you in France. Write me back with what you have up your sleeve and I’ll spread the word.

Hey Cindy,
Let me start out by saying your page is unreal! Nothing is better than a hot girl and a hot quad. I was wondering if you rode a Raptor yet. If so, send me some pics of you on it. I used to be a diehard two-stroke fan. That is until I got my new Raptor. Last question I have. I have some awesome pics of me on my raptor jumping and some also scenic pics from up here in Alaska. I was wondering if you could put other people’s pics on you page?
Alaskan Raptor

Alaskan raptor,
Yes, I sometimes post other people’s pics, but only if they are top quality and interesting.

Hey sexy,
I hope me and you can get together sometime. You know I’m going to be racing again after I can walk a little better, but I will be back at it soon.
love ya

Well, if you can’t walk, you need to be focusing on that at this point of time — don’t ya think? Good luck to you.

Cindy,
This is Mike from the Huevos Premier. It was great meeting you and everyone. Just wanted to tell you I had a great time!
Mike

Mike,
It was nice meeting you too! Glad you had a great time. I think everyone did! Wes Miller sure can throw a party, huh? Thanks for taking those pics of Danielle and I at the restaurant. As you see we used one. The other one got the boot – we looked too wasted!

Dear Cindy,
There is nothing sexier than a hot girl on a quad. Your pictures are great! I’ve printed them out poster size and gave them to all my friends. My friend has them hanging up in his shop. Maybe you could send an autographed poster for him to hang up, or even better, show up and autograph it yourself. Speaking of showing up, I’m getting married in February, want to come to my bachelor party? haha… I wish! Anyway, we were all just wondering if you’ve ever partaken in any extracuricular “Adult” activities on a four-wheeler before? And if so, was it moving or sitting still? Some of us have been known to do some wild things on a four-wheeler out on the beach on those hot summer nights, especially at a bonfire party; you wouldn’t believe the stuff that goes on there. We live in Delaware, and the whole east side of the state is beach-front. If you haven’t done that before, I would highly recommend it. ATV’s can get you to some really secluded and beautiful places… very romantic!
We’re looking forward to seeing more pics of you in the future,
Sincerely,
Derek

Dear Derek,
I’m working on posters as you read this. I’ll probably have them on our site real soon. Ahhh, Mr. Romance, no unfortunately, I haven’t been there or done that. Would love to, sounds like fun!

Well, that’s it for now! Hope you liked my recent adventures. Please keep
your questions and comments coming, but please — take a few minutes to write
your e-mails, OK?
