Our friend Alejandro made that one. I don't think he posts on here. We're still working on some other vid action...
the spot..
- Thread starter fiddy_ryder
- Start date
I have requested the next friday(10/05) off...anybody down for some digging and ridding at the spot behind the spot?...let me know...i'm thinking morning till' dark...hit me up!
No can do. I'm taking Monday off, though. Huckler was talking about doing the same. Can you do that instead?
unfortuanally we start inventory on monday...i gotta be here fo sho!
I can meet you guys out there on Monday. Hopefully by then we will be working on jumps 8 and 9
hahahaha! i've heard it all now...
I am not sure why you would find that funny. . .
I'll help shovel on monday if i can find a ride out there after school. Is anyone gonna be out there this weekend, i can probably ride but i might be going to santa barbara with some bmxers to ride the skatepark on saterday. Does anyone know if there are any djs in SB.
That first one is bad ass. I love his tables/inverts.
This one is just silly how inverted he is
your downside table x-ups aren't so bad, either

sick...his foot is not even touching the pedal on the inverted!! nice!

you might want to get some practice someplace else, nothing even close to a beginner line here...
That 1st shot of Brett is super good. I missed a good evening of riding it looks like...
Cru...that was of the 3rd one.?..man...that's a cover shot! sickness extremo !
Here it is Cru...that's another option...don't know the specs yet..but we can find out.

That thing is sweet, but it's a race frame. I have my eye out for a 20".
ha ha... the old Westlake Crew rolls out tears the trails to shreds and Cru thinks he's ready for a 20" Ask huckler what happened at my trails when he tried to relive the glory days of 20" he got straight owned.
Please... I'm a bmxer for life. :biggrin: I hit all the DJs at the compound on a kid's 20 a few months ago, first try. It felt akward, but I'm sure it will come back. I just want all kinds of bikes... a 20, a cruiser, a DJ hardtail, and a big bike. But, I don't have the money or the time for all of them...
yeah- I don't doubt it. I'm trying to start an intranet fight with you cause I'm jonesing to ride and hang out with the crew in full effect.
those things happen when your bikes brakes aren't working(many ride brakeless, but it's not my deal) and you just throw it down anyway....
Haha, I bet. I should be out there around 5:00 tonight. I'll be out of town this weekend.
OK, now I'm convinced that we can bowl out after the hip more. And then build up the lips and landings on number 5 and 6. We need all the speed we can get for #7. It's plenty do-able now, but I think eventually, we'll want to go steeper with the lip.
Oh... and if you're jonesing for an internet fight... you could jump into the Poachers thread over on MTBRetarded. Geez.
whos down for a trow down on friday..(all day)? digging and ridding...anyone...anyone?
no dice...
I'm trying... Maybe tonight. Maybe during some part of tomorrow. Not sure on Friday... Saturday seems good. Sunday is iffy... next week is bad...
That MTBR thread is nuts. I lurked there and got out.
We got to get Eric some different lenses- he's way too good to only use that extreme sport edition wide angle on everything. Too bad he shoots Nikon...
Haha, but don't forget that Eric has this lens. He shot this from his place in Santa Monica while we were out riding at The Compound...

Change of plans, again. I am going to be there tonight. Hopefully around 5:00.
words that sting. Now I am going to be self-conscious when I post pictures.
Besides, pictures are more interactive when you have to get a magnifying glass out to see what the action is. . . .
Thank you for the encouragement, though. I will start bringing my hiking boots and trekking poles to use my 300.
trowing down in the dark...sickness to the extremo!
I'm just messing. Those are killer shots. I wish I had a true wide angle to play with and 1/10th of the photoshop skills... This photo would have if nice blue background if I did...words that sting. Now I am going to be self-conscious when I post pictures.

I know you are kidding-I was just hoping that no one would notice that I use the same lens. . . now I am going to have to step it up. With my vast photoshop skills, I decided to help you fix your shot.

[FIXED]
As you can see, changes are subtle, but after a couple of hours of color correcting, I feel it looks pretty good.
That is tight. I don't even see the difference other than the change in the sky color. Thanks!I know you are kidding-I was just hoping that no one would notice that I use the same lens. . . now I am going to have to step it up. With my vast photoshop skills, I decided to help you fix your shot.
