Lazy Days

The best sessions happen in half empty parks.  No contest runs or loud music.  Just the sound of Rob fixing a broken lightbulb and two wheels running over metal sheets.  Last Wednesday BUC went up to TRP while I had class and came back with these photos.  Participants included John Reed, Wagel, Scott, Sparks, Kenny, Kris K, Mike, Bayliss, and one other fellow who's name we're not sure of (he's doing the three in the photos below).  It was a really light-hearted session that gave way to some of my favorite light-hearted photos.  Like the session, they're not meant to be taken too seriously, but serve as a decent reminder of why we stay riding even though we just keep getting older.



























This Sunday we're heading out to Birdland for the Nationals.  This is a much anticipated trip. Regretfully, we haven't rode any trails this summer so we're making up for our procrastination in the few remaining months before snow.  From looking at the photos, it's clear that Scott and his crew have put in major hours and effort into those trails and it's awesome of them to invite people out to ride them.  Bring your shovels and come out.  And yes, as Scott mentioned on Deliverance, we're bringing along some goodies, although when he said Mr. and Mrs. Newman, I though he was talking about BUC's parents.

Remember that TRP contest?

While we were away from the site, there was a contest at TRP sponsored by the Adrenaline Games Alliance.  Remember?  Well, you were probably there and you have probably been waiting for these pictures for ages so here they are, enjoy...





It was a while ago so I don't really remember everything that clearly, but in summary--Carmickel got his feet as far from his bike as possible while still being on it-Will spent most of the contest upside down-Dillon did a 720-Cory did heelclickers-Dane will have a second career as a comedian-Bayliss did big tailwhip transfers-Brad's bike was spinning most of the time-Malcom has new stunts every time I see him-Sparks got that look in his eye as only he can-Steve Byrnes is back from Ohio and will double whip your face-and Stewy double pegged the vert wall to fakie and many other ridiculous stunts making Stewy the winner.  If I forgot anything or anybody, remind me in a comment.  There are many more of buc's photos on the AGA website.  They repeated some of them with different effects, not sure why.

Oh, I noticed the pixelation problems on the last post so I changed up templates.  Hopefully the pictures won't be scaled.  Let me know how it looks people.
