Frid’Eh Update #18 Presented by Xtreme Toys By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #18 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update Presented by Xtreme Toys in London, Ontario. #18 goes out to a guy we got to know pretty well last summer.

Frid’Eh Update Presented by Just 1 Helmets By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Let us start off with an apology to Seth Rarick and Topher Ingalls. In all my excitement about leaving for NYC last Frid’Eh, I somehow looked up the Top 100 CMRC National Numbers, read them, and still managed to mix up who was 16 and who was 17.

Frid’Eh Update #14 Presented by Gamma Sales By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #14 here at the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week presented by Gamma Sales. It’s a bit of a strange week here for the ‘ol Update – last week was #13 and this is #14. The only reason this is an issue is because of some archaic superstition surrounding the ‘dreaded’ number 13.
