I've got my P.1 here in my dorm and my Sunday in Kirkland, so I'm up for whatever.
I'm finally at UW...who wants to shred?!

- Start date
how is it? is college fun?
haha well the one move-in day i've had has been pretty fun.
Nice, I'm in Lander. You?
Sweet. Well yeah we'll definitely ride when you get your bike up here. Do you know if there are any skateparks or dirtjumps around UW besides greenlake? Or is greenlake even open still?
I just drove by Woodland Park the other day, and I wasn't really paying attention, but I'm positive I saw the jumps still there. I hear they're completely legal, so I wouldn't worry about it. Also, if you haven't ever explored the wooded area above the dirt jumps, there are some drops and (kinda small) natural jumps in up in the wooded area. Nothing huge, but still fun to mess around on. I haven't ridden there for quite a while, though, so it could have changed.
By the way, I'm across town at SPU, and I'm always up for some riding.

sweet, i remember they looked sick when i used to live in kirkland, but that was like 6th grade so its been a while.
I think I saw you on the Ave today. Green P1?
yup that was me!
I drove by again today, and the jumps are most definitely there.
no race nate?
was just at greenlake two days ago, they could use some love but the whole main line is doable and pretty fun. the street on campus is amazing too. let me know when you guys will be out and about and I may come join in the fun.
I'm down to ride pretty much whenever/wherever. I'm probably gonna do some riding tomorrow, not sure where yet though.
So I hit up the Greenlake jumps today. I hadn't been there for about 7 years, but they're pretty much the same, only not nearly as intimidating haha. Some of them definitely could use a little work, but they're decent. After riding for about an hour and a half and getting the whole main line a few times I decided to quit while I was ahead, since I'd had a few close calls on a jump with a bad kicker lip. Good day though!
is the one with the bad lip the second gapper (fourth jump overall)? we tried to carve out the center so it was a bit more rideable but they all really just need some more material to do them up right.
yeah that's the one. it was weird though because I was doing it fine at first, and then I just had this scary streak when I kept getting bucked.
Hit a corner going pretty good in a drift and my front wheel caught a hole. It put a crazy load on it and the arch broke, any fork would have failed. Fox is sorting me out real quick so i'll be on it again soon.
Hey guys, willing to shred campus when i come to UW next year 
haha
haha
nice, i was thinking about riding then too.
what were you going to ride? your broken bighit?
ah that sucks, but yeah we can ride tomorrow too.
it hasnt been broken for almost 2 weeks now.
I told you that last week.
EDIT: Well actually after going threw my bike today at the shop...ALOT is broken...hah. My pedals, fork, cassette, chain, and chain ring...but it still rides, so w/e.
I live in Greenwood, really close to Green Lake. I recently started riding again. I'm at Green Lake almost every evening. I don't have any friends who are into riding, so let me know if you want to hit the dirt jumps.
will most likely be down thur tomorrow round 5 till its too dark to ride
bring me with you.
I wana ride my bike and take some pictures, its been forever. :-/
you dont have a bike you could ride anything on (unless you have your TOP built up already), but if you'll throw down some gas $ and i don't have to drive all the way to your house to get you then its on bro.
Well I dont have my TOP built, or even purchased yet...I cant by **** till my boss OK's it (ugghhhhhh). But the stuff there cant be THAT bad on my bighit? And even if it is...it would be cool to take some photographicas and what not...who else you going with?
And I can put some money in for gas and probly get to you to get down there, but I'd need a ride back to my place...up to you I guess?
Edit: Blah...my mom just blew that idea up. Never mind.
