now all you need is a wet bar and a sound system, no scratch that, just get bands to come play for you.

Don't know what to say. This place rules. Dirt jumping at midnight with the homeboys is legit.
The first few shots are before the sun went down, then a few shots as the sun was setting, then the night mission was on.








AT can corkflip anything









Everyday we get a sunset like this at The Farm.



This might be my favorite pic i have ever taken.






Lights on. Time to celebrate.


















Watering DJ's at night is a weird feeling.

Stephen Murray Fund...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is extremely sad. Here is a press release...

http://www.bmxonline.com/bmx/news/ar...636876,00.html

"Stephen Murray is a BMX Athlete that could use help from the BMX community. Stephen is a professional dirt jumper that is well known for his amazing tricks like double back flips, 360 back flips, turndown back flips and so much more.

Stephen Murray came to the United States from New Castle Great Britain over 10 years ago with a dream of riding with the best athletes in the sport. He came over here originally as a BMX racer but quickly took to Dirt Jumping and Freestyle in the scene of Huntington Beach and Sheep Hills.

2001 and 2002 marked the biggest year for Stephen Murray of his career. He won the Gold Medal in Dirt Jumping at X Games and back to back wins at the Gravity Games, the two biggest contests at the time.

Stephen is quoted on his own riding style, “I go 110%, go big and send it!” (EXPN.com)

On Friday June 22nd at the AST Dew Tour BMX Dirt Finals in Baltimore, MD, Stephen Murray took a horrific fall on the final set of the dirt section while sending a double back flip. Stephen has received career ending injuries to his spinal cord and vertebrae.

Unlike the NFL or other major professional sports, which have unions that provide funds to athletes who are injured, BMX has nothing like this. BMX however is much more like a family than any other sport. Now is the time we need to reach out and support one of our family members like never before.

The injuries that Stephen sustained are no doubt going to affect him for a life time. Medical bills alone can reach astronomical dollar amounts. As a BMX community we have the power to help him. Stephen is a young 27 years old and is the financial provider for a wife and two young children.

This message has the potential to reach millions. Even if you are only able to donate $1 if we did it all together we can accomplish a great deal. This is for real, this is an opportunity to help out one of the most loved riders in our sport. Please find it in your hearts to contribute any dollar amount that you can, and say a prayer for Stephen Murray and his family in this difficult time.

I'm curious why such a great spot would get plowed so quickly after being built? Anyone know the details of the destruction?

Thanks,

Brandon

It is a shame we live in a litigious society where property owners have to worry about being sued and insurance issues! Damn shame that such a sweet sesh spot was dozed! RIP!!! BTW… how about an update on project earthworm…(or whatever the name of it was)?

Now, I don't know how it works in Cali...but up here in the midwest if you've been granted permission to do something knowingly hazzardous on his property and the owner is NOT charging you, he cannot be sued unless it was deliberate.
Thant's the way LIFE should be: Live at your own risk.
