Well, the verdict is in. My left ankle is badly sprained from yesterday's mountainboarding. Video and screencaps will be up as soon as Brett has them posted. You can all look forward to my ankle doing it's best impression of Brett's knee.

Went scuba diving yesterday in puget sound, going tomorrow morning to dive hood canal. Lots of fun, and I get free gear rentals at work.

So I went up to Montesano and plotted out the downhill trail for the mountainboard. Digging will commence next week. This will be a fast, technical trail with some crazy steep sections, berms, and a couple of huge jumps. Hopefully I'll have it rideable by september so I can enjoy a month or two of mud-free riding to pack the trail in ( Read more... )

Went down to the Centralia skatepark for some mountainboarding today (well, I guess technically it's yesterday now). Here's some pictures.

no style, but this looks really cool against the clouds

Great weekend up in the Seattle area. Hangin out with Julianne and Keser was a riot, and mountainboarding in the mud was fun as hell. Got to jam saturday night with the seattle guys (in brandon's apartment, bet his neighbors loved that), but missed out on some hardcore mudding by doing that. Slept in till noonish on Sunday and watched Touching ( Read more... )

Big ass mountainboard session this weekend in seattle, should be a hell of a lot of fun. Might also get a jam session and some songwriting in with some guys I'm trying to start a band with. Still a little sore from mountainboarding yesterday (finally got the backside 180 indy down). Too lazy to write coherent sentances or paragraphs. I guess ( Read more... )

so much for dart being a good local spot. I did some digging out there, expanded some rollers and put in a berm, but I still can't get enough speed to do anything there. now I still need to find a place to go ride.

So I may have found a place to ride in Olympia (about damn time, I say). Tomorrow, after a morning kayak run down the Nisqually, I'm going to start digging a new line in out at the famous bmx jumps known as Dart. Here's to training my ass off getting ready for Snowmass (I checked out ticket prices today to get out to Denver, it's going to cost ( Read more... )

Here's some shots I took at the ramp rat's competition.
My digicam sucks at action shots, so some of them are really blurry, but it'll give you an idea of what was going on there.

Hoooooooly shit it was a good weekend. Right now I'm going on 26 and a half hours without sleep, since we had to load up and drive back right after the ramp rats competition finished. Anyways, Friday we loaded up at 8:30 am and headed down to sandhill. We rolled into camp around 10:00 pm after getting lost a few times trying to find it. ( Read more... )
