I'm alum from SIU Carbondale and still live down here. The team has 'legit' for at least 10 years or so. We even had a ski house (and later the girls had a house) that we started in 01 up until last year when the city condemned it
. I was involved from 99 till 04. I'm still in touch with a few of the riders, but have been too busy to help out much lately. There are a few pretty good riders on the team and three lakes with/in 20 min from the school. PM me if you'd like more info.
In addition to U of I, I think Western was starting one and SIUE was getting a WB team together. Talk to Kyle at Extreme Power Sports in Greenville about the SIUE effort. Don't have any personal contacts for the other clubs anymore. Check out this site for other contacts:
