Hahaha gravediggaz! Jersey barrier fun!

Anyone remember this lovely little creation I made at the entrance to the graveyard jumps? I was doing lip tricks on it then Kyle hauled at it and launched into the grass and rocks behind it. Too good! Modded barriers rule, if you need more proof, ask Tyler. He likes to feeble his barrier creations...and sack himself on them as well. Gotcha!


...and yes this is the same barrier that I put MFM stencils on and got charged with a felony because cops don't realize that we run shit! No worries, I got off with just a ticket. That day was priceless though, cops searching my shit and asking if we were a gang! Meatheads...

Let's get 'em!

Been busy as of late starting a new job. It's quite the transition, but I'm glad it took little to no work to get a job in my field. I just hustle and go so hard cause ima go getta! In all seriousness, been thinking about the new skatepark that supposedly is being constructed on the westside of Portland at Douglass Field. I say supposedly because I heard it was to be completed one year ago, but nothing ever became of it. Just a couple weeks ago I remember talking to Rodge about Portland getting a park and we were both like 'that'll never happen!' but now Rocco D. is saying that they have broken ground and it will be shreddy come summer time! Above is the layout of the park they want to build-looks like tons of fun. The best thing about having a local park is it's a great spot to meet up with your boys and ride all day or get warmed up for street hammers...that and skatepark bbq's! It's high time that we got a new park cause the kids in Portland have gotten really good and don't have shit to ride! I remember growing up with a park and kids these days need that too! It's a really good environment for all ages to get together and do the one thing that we all love to do...ride little bikes! Everyone feeding off each other and progressing...ahh I'm getting chubs N/H! Can't wait for summer and that! I say that to say this;If you think that bitch summer is yours, she could be cheating on you. Jim Jones. DIPSET!

I stopped doing the site over the summer and just chilled out, went riding, swimming, moved...all kinds of shit. Unfortunately, one week into the new year I was out a job and my apartment, and I saw my buddy get his jaw broken. Not a good way to start out! With all that negativity around me one would think I would have gone insane, but I've been through much worse, so I know to keep my head up and just get what it is I want. On the brighter side of things, I took a trip with Tyler and Zach to NYC and Long Island and rode the Brooklyn Banks while Maine was buried in snow haha! AND even bigger than that, as most everyone knows already, Portland shredder James Meliota is getting hooked up by Fly Bikes. If anyone deserves it, it's James. He is one of the most dedicated people I know, and he puts in mad work. Watch his edits and you'll see dude is no pussy.
