Pumptrack with Nik Dommen

We have been working on and shredding Kyle's pumptrack for a while now, but I have never really taken my camera. There are so so many lines that it is ridiculous. This track is unique in that there are as many transfers and airs as there are pumps and berms, so it is more like a dirt skatepark! So much fun to ride and so good for your endurance and skills. Pumptracks kill it. Anyways, here is Nik Dommen keeping it stylish and flowy, enjoy!

F Line

Yesterday Allen, Dan, and I headed out to F Line to shred some dirt jumps that were previously built for hard tails. These are now trimmed down so big bikes can hit them. Nonetheless  even though they were cut down they could still send you pretty high. I learned suicides which was pretty cool too, here's what we came out with.

Sea Otter Classic 2013

It has been way too long since I have updated this. I have been super busy with school and whatnot, but I got a good long four-day weekend for Sea Otter where I got to ride bikes, see old friends, get free stuff, and take some pictures! On Friday Allen, Kevin and I decided to day trip it to Aptos where we warmed up at the step-up and then headed to Post Office. Allen 3'd his trail bike at the step-up and I finally made it through the pro line (after years of going there and wussing out) at Post Office which is a check off both of our lists! The next day we hung around the pits collecting as much free stuff as possible while staying hydrated with some good ol' Coors, then heading to pro slalom finals in the evening. The weekend was full of good people, good riding, and great times!

Upper Park with Kyle

Today Kyle and I headed to upper park to get a few clips in for Xpedo and Felt. In between filming, I snapped a few photos, here is what we came out with. Enjoy!

Scott Sterling for President

Today, I woke up at 7 for the good light to go shoot some photos of my good friend Scott for his linkeden account. We decided to hit up campus, since he's a student and what not and here is what we came out with, enjoy!

Woodward Tahoe

The other day Mike, Nik and I headed to Woodward Tahoe to get our progression on. We had so much fun and were throwing down every trick we had wanted and landing them in the foam pit. I learned flips and went for it on the resi box, but I cased and my foot slipped off slapping down hard and bruising it pretty bad. I then went to get my camera and when I got back, Mike had fallen pretty hard on a tailwhip attempt on the resi, and possibly pulled something in his shoulder. That left Nik for some pictures, so here he is throwing some nasty style into the foam. All in all it was an epic day and I can't wait to go back when everyone is healed. Enjoy!

Random skaters, but I had a candid photo project due the next day..perfect

Xpedo Photoshoot

 The other day Kyle, Nik, Chuck, Todd and I headed to Kyle's trail to shoot a photo for Xpedo pedals. We ended up building this drop we've been eyeing for a while which was pretty cool. Here are the ones that didn't make the cut, enjoy!
