    Old roadie habit of pushing too big a gear all the time. Not so applicable to my mtb riding, but there you go.

    My name

    My name came from me playing video games online. Yes video games is still to this day something I still really do enjoy. Well anyways I used to play this game called Socom Navy Seals on the PS2 and on their my screen name was called Yo momma. I did it because it would look good on the screen saying to the guy on his screen "you were killed by Yo momma" Now I don't play PS2 anymore and have switched over to the Xbox 360. When I signed up for the Xbox live online service somebody else already had "yo momma" so they had fired yo momma and decided to just take it. I am in another board and my name thier is Fired Yo Momma, so when I came here I decided to just keep it.

    I lived In New Zealand for two years as a missionary, and like all Polynesian cultures the Local Maori people have a special place in their culture for white people

    (typically the rotisserie rack :( ).

    I loved that time and the people, I kinda feel like I can associate very much to them. So when I filed for my EnZed drivers license and Saw that I had a choice of Scandinavian, Anglo Saxon, or Pakiha. I chose Pakiha.

    Pakiha pronounced (Pah - Key -HA) has lost its official translation but means roughly one of three things

    White dog
    White Pig
    White devil

    Of course I’ve been debating on a new name that’s easier to pronounce for the white tongue. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    For a long time i was RSMLA because i live in Rancho Santa Margarita and my initials are LA. That got boring so recently i changed it up to Skeeter. Skeeter was to be my name but my mom won the argument with my dad and so i became Lucas instead.

    I started out as Chelle, cause one of my best friends in high school was also Racheal and she went by Ray. I HATE the nickname Ray, so I used Chelle.

    Alas, I felt my name wasn't descriptive enough as to the style of riding I have, so I requested suggestions from a mentor of mine, Crash Maxwell (primarily due to the fact that I crash a significant amount more than ride, and most people know me from my crash pics).

    He and Lacey gave me "wrecker".

    Thanks guys :)

    An early idol was Waldo Autry - a clue to my sports past and my age. It's the one nickname that's stuck with me throughout.

    The Switchback crew coined me that because I had a Spooky Project X downhill bike at the time.

    I love to surf, love pulling off big floaters, but the name came from my aunt, my Indian blood line. She gave me the name Ooyalugi from my great grandfather, "Bark" Foreman, which was his nickname from his sisters. It means something like "he floats on the water", but its been shorten to Floater.

    Just because

    my preferred S/N was taken on this board I just thought about hiking cross-country, so uh trekker, update:that got boring so while waiting for pacman to get free - another name.

    pacman I've used since the Garmin Rino Radio/GPS's came out. The radios exchange information so on your screen you can track the position of your partner. Each user has an ID, the trail of dots on the screen reminded me of the video game, so voila.

    Used to own/race a CHUCK CR-HT. Back in 1999 I was just cresting one of the steep climbs in Mammoth when a few drunk spectators said "What's up Chuck?"

    They were so amused with their own humor, they kept saying it until I was well out of sight. And there they were at the finish line yelling out "Hey, it's up-chuck!"

    Obviously this was a common joke to spectators because it followed me to other races.
