"The Muddy Buddy® Ride & Run Series is a unique mud-inspired team event experience, which has brought a new dimension to the sport of adventure racing. The series creates a national integrated marketing communications plan in key cities throughout the year. Each one-of-a-kind event creates regional promotional opportunities where sponsors can reach thousands of individuals in each market.





In 1998, CM Sports created the concept of the Muddy Buddy® Ride & Run Series. The event series started with four events in 1999 and has continued to grow each year. In 2005, the series will expand to seven U.S. cities, two international countries including Australia and Canada.




The race consists of teams of two running and mountain biking through 10 kilometers of trails, challenging obstacles and the infamous Muddy Buddy® mud pit. Partners must start and finish the course together while encountering transition areas on the course where the team members make their way over, under and through challenging obstacles.






MINI MUDDY BUDDY®





Mini Muddy Buddy® offers a chance for the little ones to get muddier than they ever have before! The race offers a short obstacle course before the kids enter the mud pit! The Mini Muddy Buddy® is free for kids, giving them a chance to come play in the mud with their friends, just like their parents in the race. Signups will be available onsite on race day. The Mini Muddy Buddy® is for kids 12 and under. All participants will receive their own Mini Muddy Buddy® T-shirt and custom finisher's medal!!"

This spot from Dierna..::




Everyone’s favorite anthropomorphic reptiles,
Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello, return
to the funny books in Digital Webbing Presents #24.
While the Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles are still
appearing in their own comic books from Mirage
Studios, namely TMNT and Tales of the TMNT, Kevin
Eastman and Peter Laird’s creations are making their
debut in Digital Webbing’s “Internet Collaborative”
anthology in the July issue of DWP.




“The story focuses on Raphael -- he's on his way to
deliver a mysterious package,” Ed Dukeshire, owner and
publisher of DWP explained. “Time is running out as
everyone is counting on him, but then he's ambushed
and outnumbered by Foot Soldiers.”




“Basically, I asked a buddy (Dan Berger) who worked at
Mirage Studios to hook me up. I've known Dan for close
to 10 years now. Dan used to write the syndicated TMNT
comic strip, so he's no stranger to the Turtles and
was my only choice to write this tale. He had some
ideas floating around, showed them to Peter for
approval and magic started happening. We wanted the
original Turtles and were fortunate enough that Peter
allowed it.




“My #1 choice for an artist was Andie Tong, who also
illustrated the Khenan feature in Digital Webbing
Presents #14. Andie is a huge TMNT fan and was very
excited to work on this story. I've known Andie for a
while now, and even worked with him on Masters of the
Universe. He's very professional, nails deadlines and
excellent to work with.




“Andie hooked me up with Darren Close to ink and
Jeremy Roberts to color/paint. The creative team
knocked this one out of the park -- you could tell
they were doing this for the love of the characters.”




“For me, it was a fun project that gave me a break
from my other gigs,” Tong added. “Further more, I can
now cross off another favorite 80s title on my list of
dream projects I'd like to work on. But hopefully, in
the future, I'll get an opportunity to pencil a
longer, more in depth storyline for these green
fighting machines. That would be grand."




The original black and white Eastman and Laird’s
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first debuted in 1984 and
proved successful enough to inspire a Saturday morning
cartoon in 1987, a live-action feature film and its
two sequels, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The
Secret of the Ooze and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
III: Turtles in Time, many video games and most
recently, a new animated series and the short-lived
Dreamwave comic by Peter David and LeSean Thomas in
2003.




For the record, TMNT co-creator Peter Laird even
previously lettered and edited the Gutwallow: Fury of
the Furry mini-series, also published by Digital
Webbing Press.




According to Dukeshire, the publisher is celebrating
the fifth year of publishing the anthology this year.
“DWP has been around since December 2001… time flies!”..

Mikey's TMNT is a fun and crazy place ..doing our best to provide a cool and safe place for Ninja Turtle talk,fandom,artwork,multi-media, and fun from all walks o'life.
This in from the main man Mikey QM, tho' ::




"The bulk of the site is the forum database ..




The account is past due for renewal, as I don't have enough money in paypal to give my payment NOR have I been able to change my payment options from paypal to a debit card. It's a mess.




So, even though I don't want to, I'm going to start asking for donations.




If anyone is interested, you can donate to cyborgdon@aol.com .."




..in my personal experience..Mikey's TMNT has been a major source of community and friendship. Alot of the growth i've had..not just as a TMNT fan but as a person has been incredible & in some cases crucial for my survival. And on lighter notes it's just a fun alternative to sqwak,get TMNT news, and chit-chat with fellow creators,writers,artists and weirdos. A real grassroots website imperfect and goofy as it can get..we couldn't have continued without our friends.And even tOkKa here has to bite the bullet andthank you all so much..for this labour of love !!




You guy's help keep this place alive ..and i don't know how Mikey or me could have done it without your support.




Your donations help keep us goin' and are always appreciated..but we're kind of in a bind here. I know money is so crazy tight nowadays.. but even a dollar or two helps put us tword our $90 goal. We're lookin' to out pals to help us out (tOkK's gonna try to muster up some cash to 'shell' out as well).




Please consider donating ..and thanks from the bottom of our hearts !!
