Helen and I are so pleased to see that the problem existing between you both has finally been put to rest. Stryder has never tried to go into business and has always posted orginal material free but it is annoying to see the photos pop up on someones pay site as if it were their material I have even seen people post pictures of me and say it is them. Having said that we both understand how much it must annoy when business is concerned. Trample Com was an inspiration for so many of us in the trample family (and that is what it is even though we are a worldwide family) and now Cucculio's site is breaking new ground and capturing the hearts and imaginations of the trample family.

It is so nice and refreshing to see a problem existing between family members aired in public with so much honesty. Carlo it takes a big man to admit a transgression and apologise in a way that all your trample family can see it and John to accept this and turn a long held belief and bitterness to a thank you and a good wish is fantastic. Strength peace and long life underfoot to both of you.

After talking with you friday Carlo I must tell you that I have been in practice again. Helen and Tracey gave me what would have to be one of my more intense tramples for well over an hour putting into effect all of the things I have claimed to be able to withstand for the sake of our "special art" and I survived and loved it immensely I just hope that Tracey soon will let us record these amazing tramples for the world to see as she is as fantastic as Helen and very creative. I will call tonight or tomorrow to let you know final arrangements.

John one of my dreams has always to have been part of the Trample com machine with you and my friend Rudy it was the closest trampling I could find to that which was close to my heart and some of the ladies still loom large in my memories. I am sorry to see that it changed so much over the years since you both dont have that much input into anymore. Thank you for providing and assisting your worldwide trample community with this forum and giving our beloved Daddo a place to hide his weary old bones and recover. I love seeing Rudy pop up occasionally.

Had a strange health scare only yesterday. I have not been feeling 100% lately (well since my knee reconstruction) I have had stress with work (which is now over because I gave that job the big goodbye) and university studies at my ripe old age. I am trying to regain my level of fitness and strength for my own reasons and so I still can provide quality trample material for my friends and also so that I can look ok when I visit Carlo in about a month (can we tell them yet Carlo mate?). I visited a Sports doctor friend of mine (who is involved in martial arts) for a blood test and diet plan after speaking on the phone Cucculio as I have commenced training again (and perhaps have overdone it too much this week).

He rang me Friday evening evening at 10.30pm very concerned and told me my blood test was highly irregular. There is an enzyme that is created when muscle starts to break down in an athlete etc. It should not be present in the system anymore than normal levels of 100 - 200 and mine was 55,000. I had to rush to the hospital the next morning for a further series of checks and it had dropped to 40,000. I dont feel ill (and still had the massive trample last night) but the Doctors seemed concerned and I dont think they are telling me everything. I am not allowed to train at all for a week (I guess I should have said no to Helen and Tracey last night) and then have the blood tested again. If it has dropped to normal they will put it down to overtraining if not they told me I am in for every test under the sun (and that concerns me) sometimes what people dont say is more important than what they do. Dont worry Carlo nothing is stopping our trip as I dont feel any different than I have for months and I think it was because your stupid friend stryder rode his bike too far, lifted too much weight, swam too far and generall fucked with his body after 5 months recovering from surgery..Big dumb shit.

Anyway love to all and I say again thank god for the internet as Helen and I can meet and get to know some of the nicest people in the world simply by coming here.

Oh and for our friend Footstool. Mate had dinner with Mark and Diane on Friday evening (in fact that is where we were when my doctor friend rang got trampled there too by Diane, Helen and a friend of Dianes named Alli after receiving the phone call I cant help myself) . Mark is converting our video onto several copies of Compact disk for those who would like to obtain it in the states. When he has done them I will personally find out who wants them and arrange postage and payment for Mark and Diane (I understand it will not be too expensive). Hope that helps and hope the above information indicates why we have not posted any pics for a little while and I have finals at University in a couple of weeks but we have not gone away.

Glad to hear from you again mate, was getting worried, thought you might have taken off some where, only 2 weeks to go now and l'm on my way, my friend that trampled me is already there competing, l hope to catch up with her when l arrive.

I'm hoping to get there on the 21st, will give you a call when l do, looking forward to visiting some of the clubs, and l'll show you a couple of the videos that l have done so far, and how l'm going with the web site.

Anyway hope it is nothing serious and you will be ok, there seems to be something affecting most of our top tramplee's for some reason, to all of you that are having health problems l wish you well and hope to see you all back here bigger stronger and better than ever.

Best wishes steponme

Thanks for the post, Stryder....I too am happy the situation is resolved...in reality, I know that Cucciollo never meant any harm, but it was still frustrating that he would not admit what he was doing....and it made it laughable when HE started getting upset that his material was being stolen...hahahaha
Anyway, I have no ill will and hope he produces great trample for the trampling lovers among us all... :D
Looking forward to YOUR visit!

Hey Stryder,

As one who has had health challenges of my own, I know how scary what your going thru can be. I wish you the best of luck and a full recovery. Your always positive attitude can do more for your recovery than any pill. God Bless, Underhill ;)

I'm glad that little fight, between two good folks and video artistes, is finally over.
I'll always have a spot in my heart for the best of trample.com. I still have that e-mail about who was who in "Seven Stompers". Finding out one of the girls went on to some fame and fortune on "Baywatch" and Playboy makes me want to watch that tape again.
I'm glad that you're paying a visit to Carlo. I hope you give the folks the best show you possibly can. I just wish I could attend. Personally, I think I have a couple of good videos in me. I still think "Enter the Trample Dragons" was a terrific tape. Perhaps soon, I will be able to pay a visit to Carlo, and see if I can do half as well as Rudy or Stryder in the trampling department.
Ciao,
BW
