Skate It
So I bought a pair of plastic pedals (made me a bit sick to my stomach to spend my hard earned dollars on such a thing) to go to this new park in Manheim called Skate It. I have heard so much shit about this park...low ceilings and all this other noise. Well I just have to say that Ryan and I had a blast. True the ceilings are way too low and there really isn't anything mind blowing at this place but I had a blast and it only cost me $5 for 2 hours. Where Ryan and I grew up we didn't have a new concrete park or even tons of street to shred like there is in this area. We had some shitty asphalt banks and dirt jumps (I hesitate to call what we built back then trails) and in later years we were lucky enough that my parents were kick-ass enough to let me build my own little skate park in the driveway (if your reading this Mom and Dad...THANK YOU!). In the dead of winter like this I'll take a mini that you can barely air without hitting rafters and some wedge ramps under a roof any day. So to anyone against that place...shut the fuck up, get on your bike, and enjoy being able to ride when there is over a foot of snow on the ground. I just want to remind everyone of a little park named Voodoo. People started dissing that place, I guess they got tired of riding the same thing after a while and stopped showing up as often and now its gone. I know this Manheim park ain't much but its something and don't let it disappear! I personally will be going Sunday evenings from now on when the weather doesn't permit for trails, which I'm sure will be happening often over the next few months. Sorry to rant but I suppose as a trail rider in a world of unappreciative little bastards its hard for me to sympathize with anyone who can't just enjoy what they have while they have it.
Turbospoke = The raddest thing to hit BMX EVER!
So who the fuck wants to buy me one of these for Christmas? I don't care if its belated...I NEED this!

Ugh
Why is trail season over?!?!
I really don't have much else to say. We've been hitting the woods on Sundays for the past few weeks now and its been fun, shame it gets dark so early or I'd be there during the week for sure. Riding has pretty much come to a complete hault but digging is in full swing. We started stacking the the 270 berm in the new and improved Trees line, its going to be a TON of work but hopefully the end result will be worth it. Diggers have been few and far between but it happens, especially considering the cool conditions and lack of motivation since we won't get to enjoy the fruits of our labor until next spring. The grill is still in operation though...been cooking up grub the last few weeks and between that and a few beers cracking it makes me feel like trail season is still here. Its just great to be back in the woods with friends.
Went to Incline last Monday. That place is ridiculous. Xgames training grounds for sure. Had loads of fun and its incredible watching Justin ride that place. Got to witness my first front flip in person thanks to Scotty Cranmer...that trick is stupid crazy...it seems even less real when you see it from ten feet away. Ryan somehow rode that place like a god damn concrete park, found lines where there were none. And as for Danny...well thank you dude...your endless hateful cold blooded jokes have never made me laugh so much haha. That mutha fucka is ruthless and I love it. Oh and I'm selling my bike, buying a custom razor scooter and moving to Lakewood bc that shit is the wave of the future!
Anyone who isn't a lame ass (or broke ass for that matter) reserve a seat for the next Ray's trip. At this point Kimmel and I are going for sure. Hit up Zach and Green Mountain for details.
Well that's all for now. I'll leave you with this site that I found on ESPN's blog...

Not much to say here. The year in trails is basically gone. Its been a wild season to say the least. There has been good, bad, and ugly but all along the way shit has been nothing shy of fun. Come dig and get things ready for next year. Here is a series of photos that I snaked off Kimmel's camera from throughout the summer that I think speak for themselves. Good times...but there is much more fun to come.

Digging
So any chance that everyone will be down for digging this Sunday? Hopefully have some brews (or bronsons as Brett calls them haha), jam some tunes, lose ourselves in the woods, and just forget about reality for the day. Let's finish the ski jump in BBs or build the next lip in Canyon Hopper!
And in picture news, there will be a HUGE photo update coming soon. I'm getting Kimmel's camera tonight with loads of photos from the entire summer and fall including a recent trip to Ray's MTB park. So look for that either tonight or tomorrow.

Shoes...
So everyone in PA knows that Ryan Yazzie loves shoes...so it didn't come as much of a suprise to me that Yazzilla showed up on the Orchid website recently. Dude is a major shredder and deserves some god damn coverage!!!!!! Bought time. I think now that its winter and wood and concrete are the standard ramps of the season I think I am going to start sending the focas Ryan's way...he destroyes any bowl/ramp with a tranny and deserves to get online more often. Oh and did I mention he finally has a fucking cell phone? Well he does and congrats to him on that...FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shred the gnar Yazzie! Suicide wings Thursday night? Haha
PA Woods - 10 Year DVD!
I just picked up a copy of PA Woods latest DVD. Although people are more than welcome to come watch it at my place when I get my copy, I suggest EVERYONE go buy a copy for themselves. These movies are always some of the best videos out there (especially for trails) and I have never been disappointed (I have the first two Catty Woods DVD's). At only $10 and free shipping you really can't beat it. Plus this time around it comes with stickers and everyone loves stickers haha.
Go here...order a copy...and enjoy!
http://pawoods.com/htdoc/pawoods10year.htm
Here it is the final pawoods video. If you seen the other videos before you know what to expect, but this one is a little different with about 20 minutes of new trail footage from this past year and a lot of old sections from prior pawoods videos. It's basically like watching the trails and scene evole into what they are today. Starting with the first video back in 1999 to the present, it showcases all the trails from Nam to Posh and Catty and everything in between. This video is a thank you to everyone who digs and rides trails and helped out in anyway.

Rain Rain Rain...
Updates are slow coming, because the weather around here has been pretty awful for trails. You'll get three days of beauty and then a downpour, and then not enought warmth to dry it up. I literally haven't been to our trails in 3 weeks.
The family went to Catty to ride a trailriders mecca last sunday. The weather was ridiculously perfect, actually summer-like. The drainage they have there is unbelieveable. Everything was running perfectly, which almost confuses me because they must have 200 sets to maintain. Raked a ton of leaves, brett and i both fell into the pit of death because you couldnt tell where the ground stopped and the pile of leaves began. I hoped to have some decent pictures from the trip, but as with all good trips, if no one is broken, no one really stops to take pictures. I think i have like six good shots from the whole day, i'll post them later.
Brett, Black Rob and I are heading back to Catty saturday to meet up with Frank and ride again, weather depending.
Depression season is knocking, hopefully a winter trip to Ohio and some random sesh stuff will pull us through.

Sunday Sesh
Sorry for the major lack of posts and pictures as of late. Season is dying down and things have been a bit slow in the news department, not to mention wet at the trails.
There is a possible trip to Catty this Sunday to shred. We have been meaning to get up there all summer and somehow always get caught up at our own trails. Frank mentioned heading that way so hopefully that'll be the game plan for Sunday.
Next Sunday come to the trails! We are having a gathering of minds to discuss what we are going to build for next year. My personal priority list is as follows...Trees is getting a total revamp that has already been started, part of which will includes a sick-ass 270 berm, then we need to get some more shit cleared and stacked in BBs...especially that ski jump that is going over Only's, and Canon Hopper (I think that's the name Kimmel came up with) needs at least three more sets before the dead of winter hits like a ton of bricks. Then last but not least we need to finish out Only's...which should consist of finishing the sixth landing, building the 7th set, some sort of berm/roller set up to get your shit back together (how it ends up sort of depends on the trees and ground in that section of the woods...there was too much underbrush this year to see how it looks) and then hopefully two monster booster sets to round it out. After all that the sky is the limit. I know Brett has some intentions on building some kinda new line...so we'll need tons of ideas for where to take that exactly. I'm always down for a new line. Hopefully the trails blow up this year and we can get twice as much shit built as we did last year. With Kimmel and Bryan visiting on a regular and Ryan living in Lancaster full time, we should have one hell of a dig crew to get everything done! I'm sure we'll be grilling and poppin brews well into the winter months so on Sundays come on out!

Fun
So I took it upon myself to go ahead and delete ALL the drama from this site...in every
shape and form this is not a place for it.
90% of the posts on here were created by yours truly and maybe there is a reason for
that. If it doesn't involve stories of wild road trips, drunk madness, sweet ass dirt ramps,
bmx lifestyle, or any combination of those four things I just mentioned, I don't wanna see
it here!

We've all got way more important shit to deal with than some random bullshit drama. If
you got a problem solve it...if it can't be solved then fuck it...I don't need to read about it
on what should be a fun BMX site and I'm sure as all hell nobody on the god damn interweb
wants to read about it!
Anyway onto things that actually matter...
The Catty Jam went down yesterday and I'm a damn idiot. We decided not to go since
we all sort of assumed that the weather wouldn't exactly permit for Sunday shredding...
well as the photo below proves we were clearly wrong and underestmated the fact that
Catty has some of the best trail bosses on the planet. I'm sure it was an incredible time.
Friend Catty on Facebook and check out pawoods.com in our links below. The place
is amazing and I'm bummed we missed out. Apparently they raised quite a few bucks
though so that's great news! I'm just disappointed we didn't do our part.
Second is there is now a Q-ville trail site too! These guys are all super nice and though
I haven't hit this spot yet they look like they have tons of potential. I'm stoked that there
are other guys in Lancaster county with the motivation and love of dirt that we have!
Hopefully over the winter we can help eachother out a bit...in the meantime check out their
site!

So I know that Brett is going to hate me for this...but I created a 717 Family Facebook.
I honestly did it to get some shots of the shirts up and possibly promote any future creations.

Party Pics
Wild-ass Weekend!
So needless to say the jam did not go down on Saturday. A whole slew of other crazy shit did manage to go down though. We had the last party on Pearl Street before I move out and move into a way nicer place. Guess its going to be up to the other rats in the 717 to get a damn BMX house to host all the festivites from now on!
The party was crazy. There was a 1/2 barrel of Yuengling premium, 7 gallons of jungle juice, and thanks to Zach and his fiancee we had a giant tub of some crazy moonshine concoction that put everyone on thier asses. My buddy Brandon came thru with two bottles of tequilla and a sweet ass mexican costume to do some shot pouring in. I don't even know where to begin with the costumes...there were so many characters in attendance. Hogan and Brook were there, MAX from Where the Wild Things Are (two of them actually), Billy-fucking-Mays, Wall-e, Hannah Montana, The Flinstones, and even President Obama decided to pop out among many others. Kimmel in a singlet was nothing shy of sexy and everyone spend most of the night looking for Zach "Where's Waldo" Reed. It was just awesome to see everyone take the costume thing to heart and go all out for the final bash! I'll post some pictures up later once I see what ends up on Facebook and see all the shit Joe managed to get photos of. Wall-E/EVA won the best costume contest...as you'll see in the pictures Wall-E was out of hand (barely made it thru the party...that thing was huge) and there was a tie for second between Hulk & Brooke and Toni's version of MAX. My vote went to Obama bc seeing Brett's sober ass dancing like an idiot wearing the funniest mask of Obama made me laugh my ass off everytime I saw it! Cheers to the guy that can dance all night long and not drink a drop of booze...impressive.
Now onto the true craziness. Party started dying down not long after 1:30ish when the jungle juice and moonshine were gone...there were still some heads raving in the kitchen and people lingering in the living room. Apparently people had been pissing off the porch all night but leave it up to Fashion to be the guy that gets caught. I'm going to make a very long story short here...
Fashoin pee'd out the back window. The landlord's girlfriend (both of them live on the first floor below) apparently stepped out back and nearly got pissed on. Landlord lost his fucking mind. Storms into my place looking for "the mother fucker that was pissing in my back yard". I can't say I blame him for getting upset but the asshole took it too far. For some reason when Fashion openly admitted it was him my landlord proceeded to tell me how I need to grow up and the partying needs to stop. Funny coming from the dude who as far as I can tell smokes weed most of the day, seems to have no real job himself, and fights with his unemployeed girlfriend at volume daily (and as an added bonus she was arrested less than two weeks ago for one such fight were they were wrestling in the backyard till 6 A.M.). I guess I was mistaken at my definition of growing up...here I thought paying my bills on time, having a serious 9-5, graduating from college, and driving a decent car were pretty good steps for most 25 year olds...my bad. After all that they call the cops. Here is my favorite part...they show up, don't say a word to us, and tell them that there is nothing they can do. Apparently pissing out of a window even if you rent is like pissing in your own backyard and the cops left. Then the landlord's crazy bitch girlfriend tried telling us that everyone that wasn't on the lease had to leave...at which time my roommate Josh told her to go ahead and call the cops back and slammed the door in her face. Anyway it was a crazy series of events that lead to the major buzz kill ending of the party. Hopefully everyone had a good time regardless.
Sunday was a whole different story. Rode this place called Hell Track in Millerstown. Dudes there were super awesome and crazy shredders for sure. Wild set-up and Ryan killed it like always. Most of us were a smidge sketched out at first since we don't normally ride wood...especially not like that. Forgot the camera so there are no pictures. Ryan and Brett are headed there Saturday night for some super crazy party so hopefully I can send the camera with them to get some good shots.
Well that about wraps up the events of the weekend. Sorry this shit took so much to get the point across. Hopefully its not too much. Its worth reading for sure. And thanks again to everyone that came out Saturday night. What a time.
PS buy shirts. We got em in mad colors and all sizes! Hit me up: stonervoodoo@hotmail.com

Sunday Session
Well it's starting to look pretty official, Brett and I agree that we are basically going to
have to plan on shredding trails Sunday. The jam would have worked out much better
on Saturday but Sunday will do. Maybe it'll keep some of the goons from getting totally
out of hand if they are planning on enjoying what looks to be an amazing Sunday. Hopefully
nobody is too hungover to get out and shred (including me).
Bike is nearly together. I'll probably post a picture of the new rig later this tonight once I get
her all built up. Can't wait to ride my own bike again!

New Bike!!!!
Hopefully heading to Green Mountain Cycles to pick up the majority of my parts tonight.
Matt (Literacy Bikes) already got me my Casselberry red XL Deluxe frame and a fresh Deluxe seat.
I'll post pics as soon as I finish building her up!

Deluxe = Awesome
Here is a sneak peak at the new Deluxe video from their recent trail trip.
Can't wait for this video to be available.
Rain? Not again!
Well weather is looking worse and worse for Saturday. My hopes ran high a few days ago when they were calling for only a 40% chance but as of today they are predicting a 70% chance of rain on Saturday. Not sure what other people's thoughts are but I guess if anyone is capable of riding Sunday after a night of wildness Saturday night then I'm down. Unless someone has a better suggestion for "postponing" our jam. The next weekend is the Catty Woods raffle and I really don't think I'm trying to miss that one.

Avoid the Noid!
Just so Brett knows, Noid was not invented this weekend. It may, however, been used
in extreme excess to describe the wild-ass Noids he was forced to travel with. Avoid the
Noid...or don't...your choice. If I were you I would come join the Noid (and by that I mean
the wasted combo that is Ryan and Kimmel) this weekend at the trails all day Saturday
and then party like its 19-mutha fuckin-99 at my place afterwards.

Noids infest Cleveland
What happened in Cleveland will probably make its way back to Lancaster, so i'll just tell you the juicy details. Hopefully kimmle will e-mail me the pics and i'll post em tom.
Friday night Ryan and I were driving to the bike shop and decided to go with kimmle to Cleveland to ride this ray's park. So we called the little turd Benjamin Button with no job, no GED and of course he was down. Those are the chanracters. The word Noid was invented that night and got used the whole trip. everything was a noid and ben used it like crazy.
Arrived at justin's house at like 12 am with Ben and Ryan. Kimmle was soooo stoned when we got to his house. We had to wait on him outside his house for like an hour to come back from wherever the circle was taking place. On top of that, he was wasted. Ryan was drinking on the car ride there too. We watched the new Shola vid and partied a little. The shola movie sucks. I was mad stoked to check it, but not even worth it. Go to bed at like 3am suppose to get up at 9 am.
Ryan and I are up at 9, wake up ben, wait on kimmle till 10 30 to leave. Slowest person EVER.
Take the Blazer 6 hours, drive through a snow storm, sleep, look at dans. A lot of farting went down on this trip. Kimmle blasted the pip the whole way.
They say you don't know people till you travel with them. Well I knew my friends, and I think you know them, it is just the bad qualities they poses shine like a diamond when you are on the road. hahaha
Get to rays at 4, we have to pay cause the boss is there watchin over the dude that is suppose to get us in for free, furthermore claiming that you have to have brakes to shred. so the wild card and GED go to chenga. Kimmle and I shred rays. the rythem room is the best!!! kinda like huge trails. It took me some time to get the lines down and the hip but once i got it, i dialed her in with some trail style like whoooaaa!! kimmle was shreddin it too. Busted some one footo euros . Got to shred with mark p from pitt, his brother, brian katchunkski (haha) and probably some other pros, i'm kinda out of the bmx loop. Ryan and ben came back, the wildcard blew his ank apart.
Best part of the trip was the after party with the two girls from texas at the bar she worked at. The slogan of the bar was, "more than just a quickie" !!!!!!!!!!!!! We got free drinks most of the night. Justin got sooooooooo loose. couldn't even hit the pool balls. Told the bar tender he wanted to take her panties, she told him he could, then he said he would smell them and stick them in his pocket hahahaha. ryan was gettin crazy, he made friends with everyone, ordered (3) 22oz beers at once for himself. it was kareoke night and everyone in the bar was gettin super loose and beltin out lyrics from dre to country stuff. The bros there were sick too. no attitudes. The owner loved us, thought we were the coolest. Ryan told him we was the baddest muther over a million times.
Thanks for the texas girls for lettin us crash at the house and hookin us up with free drinks. We owe you guys.
Justin and ryan were too drunk to get out of the car when we got to their house, so they woke up at 6 in the morning screaming at each other trying to figure out where they were, and it was below freezing and ryan was in a t shirt. that was the most memorable part.
Sunday, everyone except me was too hung over to shred, so we went to lake erie, west of cleveland. wildcard and i tested out the water, built a sand castle, made a keystone with the 717 family in it. took a million pics.
drove home, farted, saw all these pitt fans at the truck stop. the cute girl told me they won. football blows.
Thanks to ryan, for lettin us destroy the blaze, lindsay and trish for hosting us, GPS for gettin us there and back, big thanks to the more than just a quickie bar, and the bros that i spent 3 days with and still love even though i know all the things that make them suck now.
pics soon. watch out for the noid infestation of TEXAS in FEB.
ben- give me the wheel
ryan-give me my pocket knife back
kimmle- give me my v card back
NOID
FAKE?!
Shirts and Sites
Ran into some issues last night with the shirts. Bryan was trying diligently to get
them printed last night but had problems with blowing thru the screen. Hopefully he
can have it resolved this week and get those bad boys printed in time for the
Halloween Jam this coming weekend.
I decided to add a few more of the sites I check out from time to time to the Links
list at the bottom of the blog page. Mostly trails related stuff...so please go check
them out and see what other dirt dialers put online these days.
That's all for now. Maybe Brett will get on here soon and post a little something
about the wild trip those clowns had this weekend. They headed up to Ray's in
Cleveland for a weekend of bikes and craziness that I'm sure was nothing shy
of eventful and insane.

Cross your fingers...
Weather is starting to look up for next week. Should be sunshine and perfect fall temps
for stackin' and packin' but the weekend is a different story. As of now its saying 60%
chance of rain on Friday and Saturday. Guess only time will tell since the weather men
have been sucking as of late with their predictions. Let's all just pray to the Trail Gods
that its perfect jam weather and the meteorologists are just suck at their jobs. Oh and

in case you were wondering the after party is still poppin' the 24th...rain, snow, sleet, or
hail!!!! So come party your asses off even if you can't surf some dirt mounds. Oh and
scrap the Iron Hill keg...let's just say that fell thru. No worries though we'll just fall back on
some cheap shit and if you got some beef with that we'll have plenty of jungle juice to go around.
Shirts will be picked up Sunday...so like I said before if you think/know you'll want one
email me and let me know what size and color you want or just bring your ass to the pad
to pick one up!

Here it is folks...the rough design of our first run of shirts. Thanks to Bryan at Colormake
for the design and the serious hook-up on the printing. Shirts should be available early
next week if all goes well and pricing is looking to be a mere $10 a pop! Shoot me an
email if you want me to reserve you one a while... stonervoodoo@hotmail.com. Check
the old post below for color options. The first run will be limited but maybe if they are a
big hit and we get more shit made I'll take the time to set up a Paypal or something.
Hit up Bryan on Facebook if your looking for some clean design work and dialed prices
on the quality printed gear...

Update: Looks like cold rainy weather is on its way. Winter is a bitch...but I guess
the PA clay wouldn't be the same without it.

Bing is cool...
So I got on Bing.com just to check it
out...honestly didn't think it would have
much to offer what with it being Microsoft
and all. Boy was I wrong! The bird's eye
view might be my new favorite thing on the
internet. They have really clear images
from four freaking angles of almost any
place you can think of. It's no Google Earth
as far as cities are concerned but for trails
its sweet. Here is even a snap of the old
trails at Keener's. I also found Catty and a
few other spots on there. Check it out if
your bored...its slightly amuzing.

So Sunday was amazing despite the lack of bike for myself (Stoner) and everyone was
out in full force. Zach from Green Mtn. made it down to shred...and was admittedly
going incredibly high on every single set. Kimmel showed up with Big Head and was
bopping thru Only's easier than ever...I seriously think he's blasting that fifth set real
soon. He also brought his slimmer green race rig down for me to shred on for a bit.
Shit was fast. We got some good digging done on Beyonce's and cats were popping off
the new hip landing to the right. Some made it between the tree's of death some did not
haha. Well anyway I'll get to the part everyone came to see. Here are the pictures from
the day. Enjoy.
I love this picture...I'm giving this non-riding shot the POTD.
Me with a table on the green machine. Pretty proud of this considering the giant bars.
Brett was killing it (and himself) all day...this is a fine example.
The pup in a rare moment of cuteness between getting into EVERYTHING!

Dialed
Added a new link to the list at the bottom of our page. Got a message on myspace
from one of the guys from the 603 and he sent me a link to their page...their trails
look nothing short of flawless and fun. So go check that shit out!
http://dialed603trails.wordpress.com/
In 717 news the shirts WILL be here before the Jam/Party and the second I have
the actual design I will get a picture posted on the blog. The price is probably going
to be around $10 a shirt.
Colors are going to be as follows:
Royal Blue w/ Yellow print
Black w/ Safety Orange print
Heather Grey w/ Black print
Army(Olive) w/ Cream print
And a limited quantity of Black w/ White print.
So if you know now that you love the 717 and know what size and colors tickle your fancy
then get your orders in kids! The first run is only going to be about 50 shirts...so they
probably wont last long.
Last but not least I'll have the pictures and a post from yesterday's shredfest up sometime
tonight. Don't hate.

GRABBY HANDSS!!!!!!!!
So Stoners bike was stolen out of his car last night/this morning.
Douchers broke the rear window and took JUST his bike...which is beat as hell.
If anyone see's some kid ridin a prestine Casselbery Red Deluxe setup around, probably with the bars all chicago'd out and some pegs on the back by now, just go ahead and shoot them dead in the street.
You can tell the cops that the717family sent you. they'll understand.
In other news, we'll have Tshirts comin out really soon. The design is pretty rad, so be sure to check back and we'll post the design before the shirts are printed to raise some hype!
They'll definatly be ready by the jam in all sorts of PA type colors.

any myself. Better see ya there next Sunday!!!!!
