Halloween is a comin...

Tentative date for the Halloween/Birthday Jam and after partythis year is going
to be October 24th. I asked everyone what they thought would be best and that
seems to be the general thought so we'll go with that. Keep your eyes peeled for a
flyer for that later this week. Get your wild ass costumes ready...Kimmel says his
is pretty wild this year and he's usually the guy to beat.

Here is Fatbat and El Nino from a few years back...this is what your up against!


Digmore.

This is a pretty sweet site that I found today. I love trail blogs...I'll look at trails sites
with pictures of dudes in the woods sculpting dirt all day before I go watch some
boring-ass street edit of kids doing the same tricks everyone else is doing. I think
the motto on this sites banner says it all.

Really don"t have a ton to say about today (plus I'm sure Fashion will get on and have some emo shit to say about how beautiful today was and how good the fifth jump is or whatever). Anyway as promised here are the next set of pictures of the fifth set in Only's. It's running incredibly well since we peaked out the fourth landing and mellowed the lip a smidge. Well I'll let the photos explain the rest...

























Ed had a shit-eating grin on his face every time he sent the new set.


























Fashion learned opposite tables.


























Tobogan!

























Blurry Eddie table.


















Euro table on the fourth.

















This is Fashion NEEDS to see every picture I take of him...picture whore.

























Matt turndown. The blue-grove getting laid on the lip.

























This is one of my favorite pictures. Ryan tucking like only Ryan does.

Just a little bit of late night posting action tonight. I've just been thinking about how amazing PA can be sometimes. In my opinion, this summer sucked. And not just like, sorta sucked at times, it really effing sucked. It was either a million degrees out and humid as a wet dog, or it was raining for days, neither of which are prime for trails. I'm just not one of those riders who can convince myself to go out and session when i'm going to be drenched in sweat in thirty seconds. If i can't hold on i dont have fun.

Then, in less than a week, our world turned into this heavenly place that we all remember and the reason most of us swear by the 717 and PA in general. Beautiful skys, long days, just enough sun to keep you warm and a nice breeze to cool you off. The kind of weather where you keep your AC running to just be a bad ass but really dont need it. The kind of weather where you spend a few hours at the trails and aren't even sweaty. This is what i love.

Anyway, all sappy love for the weather aside, this weekend should be just about as flawless as it can get. Sunday is supposed to be beautiful, the trails are going to be super fast and perfect, and the fifth set is going to scare some people (yes, ME.)

I love trails.

*also, i apologize for my lack of grammatic effort. i am of the txt generation and it has taken over my life. sorry. lolz

size 2 girl jeans


just wanted to remind brett of his roots, and offer congrads on now making the rest of us look huge. dick.

I Got High

Finished the landing...

Ramped the new sender tonight. Holy smokes, what a senderrrrrr. My head hit the branch that we thought would be totally out of the way. You have enough time to think through whether you want to bail or not at least 3 times. Stoner and I both hit it. Kinda cleared it once. Bottom needs to dry out a little and it should be cherry. 

Reminder to Stoner, bring bug spray. 

Found out who the little rug rat is who is messin around at the trails. This is your warning so you better hope you check this. I'm building a new landing next week and i'll need some filler. You would fit nicely beside those Mondays. Kinda the same color too. 

SHRED THAT GNAR

Blisters, Hatin, and a Beauty

This is my first post so.... update.

Tuesday night Stoner and I hit the trails to finish the new landing in onlys. Dan and Ryan came along later with BEER and Ryan cleared the trail ahead for the next jumps in his typical Native fashion. The new trail hound climbed the landing, puked on a leaf, and had the time of his life licking ryans spilled beer. (like father like son) New landing is pretty much all packed and clayed. Just needs a little more love at the bottom and the new sender will be ready to make you all.... shake in your loteks. And you thought the trails were big before.

Probably some trail event going on this weekend for the holiday. come hang out if your left hangs lower than your right.

peace
