I just got back from a pretty exciting trip up the northern part of the West Coast. I spent a few days in the San Francisco area with some friends, and rode the Lake Cunningham skatepark, which was absolutely amazing. I also hung out in Santa Cruz for a day, mostly down on the boardwalk, which is always a fun time. From there, we drove up towards Portland, Oregon stopping at cement parks along the way. We rode some pretty fun ones, lots of carving and hips to jump. Finally we made it to Portland for Dew Tour. The contest was pretty crazy. Now I’m back in Greenville just trying to relax between riding and school. That’s pretty much it for now.

All riding shots were at Dustin Millers. In the double whip shot Foster is on the left whipping with Mason. The 80’s party was at Adam Jones house. Costumes were mandatory. I was everyone’s personal trainer for the night. We were all pretty wasted.

Josh Betley, Drew Hosselton, and I took a trip out Albuquerque, New Mexico this past weekend to ride some street and then hit up the Double Ditch Jam. Josh was filming some clips for an upcoming Felt Bikes video and Drew was filming some clips for Vital BMX and shooting some photos for MirraCo. Definitely a busy past few days, but they came through. Both Josh and Drew ended up with a couple of really good clips that you’ll all be seeing soon enough! Big thanks to Sam Adams and Denise Baca for being our tour guides.

The Double Ditch Jam was just as wild as it had been years in the past. We gave out a few pairs of shoes; Adrian Vigil won a pair for best trick on the rail (barspin to icepick grind), Mario Carrasco won a pair for the longest jump to flat, and Squirrel won a pair for the longest wheelie up the ditch. The Albuquerque locals always come through with a good time and some great riding. Josh and Drew are already planning a trip back!
