New Equipment, S'Fun.

I rented a ringflash for a product shoot today. It puts these crazy halos around things. Hell, I think I look like I have a shadow afro in this photo!

Tonight's session was pretty fun. I rode Grant with Stewart and Roll. Seriously, Roll has the sickest style. It's all speed and power. I get pumped up watching that guy ride. We worked on switch handed steams for a little while and then I got into a really nice fire hydrant to funky chicken. I'm having so much fun riding. It's the shit.

Rock On.

That's Paul, he's the machine.

Coach Joe and I headed down to Salem today to ride with the BBB and I have to say that it was well, well, well worth the drive. I like the vibes down there. It's been a while since I rode with Jeremy and I was really excited about showing him the stuff I've learned but it really didn't work out that way. I had a hard time with Hang-5's and it was really starting to piss me off. I did get some good squeakers and fire hydrant to squeaker. Oh yeah! I got a whiplash too, on film even!

Anyway, the contest is coming up next weekend.

Good times all around.

Things Happen.

Joe, Scott, Roll, Stewart & I hit up Grant & OMSI today for a nice session. The sun came out and I was sweating like a 10 cent whore on nickel night. Hey, just the usual!

I've been learning some tricks. Coach and I put on my back brakes but I don't think I've used them for much more than lawnmowers yet. After seeing Diversion 5 I've been super motivated to try some back wheel tricks. I've been trying to pop up the rope-a-roni's but it's not happening yet.

Anyway, we rode a lot this week. Roll is super fun to ride with, he has good positive energy and a super smooth style. The Coach & Stewart got me pumped up as well. Hell, I landed a few more Whiplashes, a couple of solid rebates and some flail boomerangs! Hang 5's feel really, really good now and I was playing around with trying to get into steamrollers from them. That's a real commitment and my knuckles will pay the price for FAILURE.

Here's Scott: Get stoked!
