Today' fail

Crankworx Colorado Top 5 Runs

I had a hard time watching this live let alone posting it.
Only because one of the announcers just makes me want to punch a kitten in the face!
All I could think of while watching the runs was that a young Macho Man Randy Savage
was behind the mic. Then at the end, he tries to be Chris Farly. I thought the contest
was fucking great,but a universal mute button should have come with it. Oh yeah, the music sucked more cock that than a flamer at a penis enlargement seminar!

Just turn the sound off and enjoy the clip!

Some Vimeo.

Here's a fun little edit, but a really shitty song.
This video features all the usual tricks and stunts.
Kind of bland, but was still a good watch!



Here's another one. The riding was not what you would expect with the awesome editing.
However, good music and interesting spots more than made up for it.
Oh yeah, I've talked to the owners of Leaf Bikes a few times. Awesome guy for sure!

The Washout Jam has been replaced.

This is how things went down.

I had the Washout jam all set up. We had an awesome spot in the Pasadena wash. The spot was complete with a pyramid, drop, quarter pipe, hip, sub-box, etc.Up top we had a really technical pump track, and down the road some awesome trails.

Unfortunately, we went to the wash about a week a go to find that the cops locked everything up super tight, cut down trees so they can get back to the pump-track area,and posted signs EVERYWHERE warning us to stay out and that it was now Pasadena CityPolice property.

So to be honest, I didn't want to hold the jam there anymore. I talked to the owner of Atomlab while testing the new G.I. fork about moving the event somewhere else.We talked about the new park in Santa Clarita, some nearby trails, Woodward west, etc.Nothing seemed to be panning out.

Then, out of nowhere I get a call from Rick Nolte. He suggested that we move the Jam down to San Diego to the famous "Home Ave. Ditch. With a twist of irony, Home Ave.is also a wash. There is a killer park, and trails nearby. So it was settled.The Washout Jam was to be replaced.

Want more irony? Rick informed me that last year there was a Jam planned, but then Mike from Atomlab set up the Woodward Super Session on the same day.That fell through, and the original Jam was "replaced". At the Home Ave. Ditch.So it looks as though the "Replacement Jam" is here to stay!

Clip from Revolve.

***editors note***
I grabbed the video below off of Decline Magazine's site.
Apparently Vimeo replaced it with what you see.
Even though you no longer get to see the clip from Revolve....
I gotta say that what Vimeo put in it's place is just as good, so enjoy!
