And pot smoking has been decriminalized!?

Just got home from a trip there, pot smoking is legal, purchasing it won't be legal until October 1st.  However you might end up in Washington where it is legal to buy and smoke with nothing but a driver's license.  People in Oregon are extremely nice.  There is also a lot of mom and pop restaurants compared to the chains.  I hit the beach for a day and went to Cannon Beach, they have his massive rock right off the beach and it looks like something out of national geographic, look up haystack rock.  Try to make it to the coast for a day.

I have similar taste in geo but I also like to run a gyro, which narrows frame choices down to like 3.  Just now building up a bike after about a 3 year hiatus, surprised how much has changed.

its real simple to tap holes for gyro tabs and also if you're buying direct from fbm/etc they could do it.

Well, I have done it before with minimal tools and my threads were pretty shit, ended up just jb welding them in place on my 2nd wave.  I'm sure with the right tools it is much easier though.  Current build is an aitken s2 and that sucker has the tabs welded on!

boiled/put on a fresh set of odi longnecks, fluorescent yellow, they match my helmet.  I also got new pads for my helmet and cut up the old ones and now have a mega padded lasek, she's comfy.

Post pics now so we can watch the progress!!!!

ask and you shall receive, this was taken after we cleaned em up from winter.


since then we have fixed the first lip and lander, pitted out and stacked the next two lips back up and clayed em, stacked up the next two landers along with the trick-jump lander to the right and are currently working on the berms.  Ill be taking more pictures next week, including our sweet pump track start.

It's been stupid nice this week so we have been putting in work.

Berm to the right is the beginning of the main line, followed by some rollers and the berm jump you see in the next picture, the other line is a "tech" line we are building, rollers to what we call the "in and out", then down into a 90degree almost vertical berm to nothing at the moment.

lander of the berm jump

first left hip followed by a larger righty

right hip lander

long and low through the trees, starting making the lander to the left an actual double today.

after the long and low, and what we did today, not running yet.

quick flick of brandon christie making the right hip looks easy after a long days work, no offence to brandon but I am more satisfied at how well my new nikon 35mm lens performed in low light, this was literary taken 15 minutes before it would be completely dark, thanks to bluebmx for hooking me up with the lens.


happy trails.
