Sorry dude, i tried to find you and you're not on any picture. You had to be hiding when I shoot the entrance

 

[JimmyR1rider]

Yeah I do that sometimes- I am always the guy that naturally slips into the background when a lense comes out. I was handin the gift bags out for a while with Alfie, and was the one that took the picture of you takin a bag when I broke your chops lol...

I just take ANY opportunity to break shoes and be a wise guy hehe
