Now Playing: Lou Reed: I'm So Free
Yeah man.
So much means so little. Hot trips and cold drips. I took Noah to a "Go Skateboarding Day" event in Kentucky over the weekend. We had a good time. He likes it when skaters eat shit "He fell down!!!" he yells when they bail. I'm not sure they appreciate his commentary but I think it's pretty funny. We found this full-pipe but there was no way to get inside.
The "longest day of the year" (most sunlight) was the other day and I celebrated by working on my trails until ten at night while still being able to see what I was doing. Luke "White Lotus" McGarry now lives up the street (even closer than Sean Newton), which is pretty random (if you saw how out in the country we all are here) but is also very cool. He came over and rode Birdland last night. Got through it all in a minute, with the exception of the berms, but provided some new perspectives for design. 270 berm version five (no exaggeration) coming up!.
I put in some Kalamazoo street time today and it was fun.
I love cruising around and hitting little jibs. Speaking of that, this video is awesome. Kevin Porter is one of my favorite riders and the fact that he filmed this himself is even better. Etnies rules, in case yo forgot (I didn't)
Kevin also has a part in the very good Vinyl BMX DVD which I got from Dans Comp just today. Speaking of Dans, they have more Deliverance Bar Bags on the way. Nice segue, eh?
I rode the Kzoo park tonight with Luke and Dave Moon and it was a treat. Talk about feeling like a sub-standard rider! Both those dudes are soooo frickin' good.
In other news, Dane Wild still rides bikes and has been been doing shows with Ron Thomas. Here's a nice tabe taken at a spot in rural PA.
