Good February Ride

David and I went out to do some riding at Blackrock during a nice day in February.

David is a shredder so keeping up with him all day (and by all day, i mean ALL DAY) made me feel like i got better and faster. we did a ton of laps, dodged a lot of falling debris, cleared a tree from the trail, did a ton of laps and ate at Paula's.

David and I saw a cool line before the Road Gap on Sicktar Gnar so we decided to session it a few times. Its a small transfer into a berm... very fun. Here is a video.

Got out on a ride today at Blackrock with my Dad.

Got out on a nice sunny day to ride with my Dad at Blackrock. Dirt was great and the bugs were out. I'll definitely bring my deet with me next time.



on a side note, i found out the Blackrock Flow Cup is in 15 DAYS.. I'm hoping to have the rest of my bike here so i can ride the Legend in it.

speaking of the Legend .. i've been wanting to wait until it was fully built to put it on the blog, but it looks too good not to share.

The icing on the cake today though was dad brought down my Raceface Atlas FR cranks that were sent down from Canada last week. Not only are they rad but they came with a pint glass... i totally didn't expect that.

More to come...

A few favorite trails.

Here it is, this is a long one. It is a few trails i ride regularly. The editing isn't that great because i was sick of doing it. I think its still worth a watch though.

I love this place

Went out to Blackrock with Dad today

Dad and i drove out to blackrock to do some riding while the weather is awesome. there was a ripper little kid out there... age 8 or so. The footages is pointed down at the bike a bit more to show whats going on.. but i think it was pointed down just a bit too much. i'll find that sweet spot for sure. We rode Bonzai 1 & 2 then rode Sictar Gnar and lower Bonsai to finish out the day.

enjoy.

BTW, the blackrock guys were doing some work when we were up there.. and they have some great stuff in the works.... we rode a hodgepodge of trails today since a handful were closed for work... I can't wait to ride sictar from top to bottom once it is 100% polished... and they were building what looks like to be a small wallride on the top section of bonzai.. I have a feeling summer is going to be gooooood.

Season starts on Saturday

My season officially starts on Saturday - Miguel and I are going to go ride at Blackrock, it will be raining so but it is Feb in the PNW, so it is expected. We'll probably spend the majority of our time at Basic. I want to get the cobwebs brushed out and Miguel is just starting to get on a big bike so hanging out at basic will give him a great opportunity to get comfortable and develop some technique.

I'll have my cam with me and i'm sure miguel will bring his still camera.

should be a good time!
