One time he was nice enough to take us riding around Stoughton with him. Forget the tailwhips, those can-can lookbacks to this day might be one of my favorite tricks Rick, was that me and jeff johnson cause we used to harrass the shit out of that guy too trying to get him on the phone. haha.

I lived in the next town over from Joe, and my friends and I looked up his mom's phone number in this big yellow book, remember those? We proceeded to call the house ALL the time..just asking to talk to the guy..even though we had nothing to say to him..We even got him to ride with us 1 time. (Well, he was actually selling me a back wheel, but I called it a "session with Joe"). Happy to say I was able to apologize to Joe in person for the annoying junior-high phone calls. Hang loose Joe, let's ride sometime. What’s up Jared?

We had a jam with a good number of people who showed up for the chaos. From what I remember Joe never rode trails with tight rhythm like those before. He proceeded to throw down trick after trick through the lines. Since then I have had a few chances to hang out with Joe. One can't help but notice the perma-smile he always has; like a kid getting two wheels off the ground for the first time.

He was just riding. Dino was a dick, but Joe was just riding. He didn't even seem to be that into what was going on and certainly didn't seem comfy when I freaked out that he was in my town. That was so cool, because we got to just session with him and he treated us like he treated everyone there. Dino, though, he was a dick. ~J I met him when the meet the street came to Salem, Or.
