101 Sessions in 90 days
The first quarter of 2011 has been amazing for riding! Most of the sessions were outside, so we had to bundle up. The last day was 65 and blue skies!
Layton is OPEN!!!!!
That was a yummy session! Come on Spring. Get here so they don’t lock the park up again.
It was warm today
Well, we had to ride today before it gets really windy and snows on Thursday.
I’ve got SPRING FEVER! I just want it to be nice so I can be outside without a coat.
Draper, Fairmont, Syracuse, and Clearfield were the parks visited today.

Working Road Trip… Vegas Baby….
While working in Vegas the week of the 24th-28th I had a great Session at Doc Romeo (Pro) park and an amazing beyond belief session at Anthem. There were only 4 older BMX guys riding so with the park almost empty we had free reign to try new lines and experiment. IT WAS PHENOMENAL!!!!!! The other guys were Vegas locals and had long pants and hoodies on and I am in my shorts and T-shirt sweating and thinking the weather was perfect. Amazing what long term exposure to cold can do to your mind.
It’s nice outside
I was surprised at how nice the weather was today. So after I dropped off the car pool, I went and rode Syracuse for a while. There were still puddles in both sides, but I was able to jump the spine without getting wet.
Then I went to look at Layton. With a towel and my leaf blower, I could have the main bowl ready to ride. The gate is still locked and will be for a while.
Exciting morning
It’s 6:00 a.m. They are all up. Could it be that they are excited to go somewhere? All you have to say is Chandler BMX Park.
Even Spencer is up, dressed, and ready. Shocked? That’s how good this place is to ride. Last year Spencer learned tuck no handers at Chandler.
I was up at 5:00 a.m. as usual, but the boys got right up when Wes’ alarm went off.
I asked Wes, “Are you ready for some riding?” He said, “Yes, oh yes.”
