The reply from Rob Walz, one of the head honcho's at Cade, to my email regarding Duane's removal.. (standardized email, but with my name..)


Brandon,

I’m sure that many of you are aware that I cannot log on to cascadepark.com, some of you wanted me to contact you through the forum, but I can’t. I hope you will post this for me. It may answer some of the questions that many of you have.

I knew that letting Duane go was going to upset a lot of people. That’s no surprise to me. He’s been building the parks at Cascade for 4-1/2 years, and has built quite a reputation. And I’m sure you will agree that the level of the parks has gone up considerable since when I used to do it. Duane grew up here, and I hope that you don’t think that this was easy for me to decide. And I do say me, as I did have the final say so. I would ask that you not pin this on anyone else.

As far as the “Indy Boys” many of you (maybe not you) but riders, commented on how they like the effort put into the parks the last few weeks and that was both the new guys and Duane. So please give the guys a chance. Before you make your decisions about how good or bad the park will be, please try it first. Then comment.

I know that many of you want an explanation why. I am sorry, that I will not answer that now or in the future. Some things are not for public knowledge. I know you will think that it’s not fair and that you deserve an answer. But we’re just not going to have that conversation. You have the right to your opinions and I will listen to them. But I won’t be able to answer all of them.

If you do have opinions about the park or how to make it better, I would encourage your comments. I did not take this step today to upset the local Cascade’s riders. I took it to make some changes that I felt were going to assist Cascade in moving forward, getting better and being able to continue business in the future. Unfortunately that decision did not include Duane. I know that my decision today upset a lot of people, and that was not my intent. But I do hope that you will still try us in the future and base your future riding decisions on the product that we give you, rather than on the people we use to make the product.

I look forward to you comments, if they are comments that I can use to improve the parks at Cascade.

Thank you,

Rob Walz

Being from Canada, and from having been in both states, I think I can offer my assistance in solving your debate. (yes I realize they're are gonna be a million Canada jokes that follow). I'm going to go with Minnesota as being cooler because:
1. Price is the fuckin man, and his guitar for the half time show was sick.
2. In MN, the worst we've gotten kicked out of a hotel for "partying to hard" is them going "crazy Canadians" and since this was in the morning the told us "get your free breakfest and get out". In Wi we had the State Troopers come in our door swat steeze, and made us sleep in my van, no key in the ignition in Feb, indicating Wi peeps can't party.
3. Mn has Spirit, can't go wrong with there season pass which came to 208 Cad.
4. Mn has a hockey team.
5. Brett Farve sucks, never seen so many ints.
6. Im calling that bblock, and sayin you guys don't know how to drink beer. I hate to say it but watch "Beer Fest" and thats what the outside world really thinks of your guys drinkin abilities.

1. prince is not the man. i cant sit here and do nothing when someone talks about how cool he is. He' s more fem than my sister is. i know he used to get pussy somehowbut im still saying hes gay. i saw the halftimeshow i laughed the whole way through it.
2. wi peeps can party? have you been to superior? yag shots comin half full in liquor glasses on every bar on tower ave. besides? are you nuts saying they dont drink? ever been to madison? lacrose? eau claire? milwaukee?
3. spirit is in MN, its right across the bridge though...
4. hockey is for people from superior, and canada...i went to some uws hockey games. fucking nutbags...all of them. lots of fun though.
5. brett favre was better when he was hopped up on drugs and booze. end of story.
6. Im calling you out, for saying wisconsinites cant drink. just dont say things like that its so wrong... I know some girls that would drink you under buddy. straight up alcoholic dirty sconi hos. then they'd break you dick off.

We've got all the nutjobs, too. Jeffery Dahmer, Ed Gein. A girl I went to HS with 3rd cousins to Dahmer.

And, PBR is made in WI. Enough said.

Dumb argument, MN is sic and so is WI. Two best states in the midwest. Best lakes, best people, best women.

Living in Tahoe now those are the only two states I could go back to in the midwest.......sorry FIBS.

Duane was a gift to the sport and a supporter of the midwest scene and the only reason I ever went BACK to cascade. I hope he moves on to bigger and better things.
