-Current projects
- And more to come


"Who We Are" We are a fairly active group of cruiserheads that always and some sort of project going on or trip. Since we are always welcoming and wanting people to wrench and wheel with us, we thought this might be a good way to start. There is always a trip right around the bend and anyone is more than welcome to join us. That being said this really isnt just a North Florida thing, anyone from anywhere can join us.

Free Membership!!! Yulp no membership dues to worry about here. Although there will be an option to be an "Crew Member" which will prob 25 bucks and will include a t-shirt and membership sticker.


For those who want to be members
You can send me a picture of your self..(doesnt have to be head shot or anything, it can be from a mile away if ya want it, as long as I got a picture to go aside of your name). As for shot of your Rig that will go along with you profile and head shot.... If you have a sequence shot of you climbing a rock I can animate it into a moving GIF file. So it will be like have a little movie of your rig next to your name. The site will have many many hours put into its design by the time it is up and running in December...So if some members would like to join now so you have your rig and profile lauched when the site does feel free to e-mail me your profile and pictures.

As for the Profile...Please dont send me any information or pictures you dont want on the internet...

-Parts Broken- ( anything you have broken on the trail )
-Blurb- ( anything else you want to say)

Great! we will have plenty of room for you guys.

Paypal sounds good. Let me know when you're up and running.

Haven't seen or heard from Sputnik lately. I'm sure he'll be surfing today. Swell is arriving here today from Florence.

Count me in too.
Al, You could could be on to big things. Website is just the start of it all. Come up with some cool graphics and a funny slogan that appeals to the masses, not just cruiser heads. Have Tshirts and caps made up, eventually have your own clothing line, Have your own line of CruiserGear, sell franchises, go public with stock shares, start being a distributer of cruiser parts on your website, sponsor a major national TLCA trail ride in Florida, Take over IH8MUD and rival cruiser clubs. The sky is the limit!

Almost Forgot. How about a group of CruiserBabes or CruiserChicks to show up at events and be on the calanders. and about the calander, Al, you talk to Hales and i'll talk to Terri about putting on some swimsuits and rubber boots and posing for the calander. Two months will already be covered then.
Rasco can be the mascot.

In all seriousness it's a great idea. Getting a website going takes LOTS of time. Al, you aren't exaggerating when you said you will have many, many hours into this project.
My website skills are very basic, but If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.
Are ready to start accumulating profile information?
Keep us posted on the progress.
Many thanks Al, and hopefully the fun and satisfaction outweigh any frustrations or hassles.

Steve, you're killing me. Swim suits and rubber boots! Given your creativity with the cruiser we should have known your fetishes are on equal ground. lol. Yeah, I'm willing to pimp Rasco out. Have you ever seen him wearing his T-back...

Definitely in on this!!! Expect half the Renegades to join and stoked to hear you're with us on the river.

Swell last week was insane - Epic! Surfed Spanish House, the Air Force base and another sweeeeet sandbar north of Sebastian yesterday. It's been a good month.

Blew a radiator house out on the 40 this afternoon - oh well, at least I hope that's all it was

C'mon Al, at least post the background so I have a link to click onto so I don't have to keep getting the invalid URL message.
How's that 80/62/60 hybrid project going?

Hey Florida Boys,

I would much like to be part the gang. Even though I'm in Cali now Jacksonville is still my home. I want to be part of any association with Florida and Land Cruisers as possible. Count me in and let me know what is needed to be some sort of sponsor for such an association.

Al, have you ever heard of some surf place called "Tressles" (sp?)? That surf place is 1.5 miles from my brks door. I have to run over surfers to get on I-5 Christanetos gate.

Take Care,

Randy

Heard of tressles many times brotha..I hope to get there someday. Make sure when you make it back to east coast to hit us up for some wheeling.


UPDATE: I am putting the finishing touches on the layout, I have to resize some tables, and resize all the photos a little smaller.

I ALSO... Got a t-shirt design done for 2007....There will be different ones each year. When I get some extra cash I will have them printed up.

I am looking for a tag program so we can all leave comments on the left hand side of the page and have away to let each other know whats up, or just make fun of each other....there is much to do yet but its coming along.

I hope to have some animated gifs for the crew member pictures then, but dont know if it will get done til then.

Thanks brotha man, either e-mail me a profile or post it up here and ill do the ol copy and paste.

Melow...I got your profile will add you to the site tomorrow. Thanks agian...




Also, I found a easy to use tag program Its almost set up. But it will allow anyone to post on the website at anytime. It has a swear blocker but I made it so the only swear is "jeep" so watch your language
