Greeley cops really can be cool sometimes

All in all super good session. Adam really stepped it up and on this bad boy. However we had a few issues at this spot. Our first issue was speed. There was a hill to drop in on but the snow was way to wet and sticky to just cruise down the road. So then We went to the dropping in on the bed of the truck. Still not enough speed for the rail.
We then moved to building a pile of snow and dropping in off the top of adams truck. Luckily the snow was wet enough to easily pack and build something like this.
Our second set back was with a crazy old man. That was screaming at us from his house up the hill. I went up to talk to him. He told me as long as we remove the snow from the sidewalk then we were ok.(which we always do). Then I would guess once he saw us standing on top of Adams truck he came out again and started screaming again. So i went up to see what the problem was and told me that myself and all my cult member friends had to leave right now. After a few minutes of me getting yelled at and trying to talk to him calmly he told me to leave or he would call the cops. We then went down and continued to session and then the cops showed up and this ensued....


We were pretty much told we were ok to stay as long as we were not to loud. Dude was just stoked that we were not sitting inside playing video games or something. He then proceeded to go up to the old mans door and tell him we were fine and to stay inside.
After the session was over while were cleaning the snow up of the sidewalk the old man came back out and yelled again because we were still there. I tried to tell him we were just cleaning up and would be gone shortly but he couldnt take 3 seconds to breathe let alone hear what i had to say.

Almost All Done


Almost done with the bike project. The tank is done and the bike is put back together. No more lame decals all over it. Super stoked on how it is turning out. Jeff and I worked hard on this. It is definitely not perfect but it is mine and we did it all in a garage. (Refer to below postings for a before picture.) All I have left to do is paint the giant ugly triangle air filter cover black and one small chrome piece on the other side black and I am all done....For now I suppose

2 feet of snow before halloween?

Somehow we managed to get dumped on the week of Halloween. So we went up to this spot i have had an eye on for quite some time.
Charlie Randy and myself


All things were going well until this happened. No I am not doing a lay back slide. I am actually just falling here. This fall was concluded by me slamming through the sideways bar and then getting tangled up underneath the bottom support beam face down in the snow and could not get untangled without the help of my crew unplugging me from my board. not fun.
However after the only thing that really made this rail gnarly was blown out we continued to have fun. here is a couple of the photos from what ensued.
