Ah that one isn't too bad actually. Its just hidden under all the scrub and stuff. The first one I cased so hard the first time... the lads are still giving me shit about it. I slipped a pedal but thought I still had the pace.... Whoops. The orings indicated full use of the fun-o-meters.nice!
although that last jump looks to have an uphill landing? the anti-tranny??
Yeah Toodles! Send it!Ah that one isn't too bad actually. Its just hidden under all the scrub and stuff. The first one I cased so hard the first time... the lads are still giving me shit about it.

I wasn't feeling particularly great this weekend, wasn't getting the pop I had been getting previously. But it was nice to ride with buddies, as I'm usually there with my kids. I've never seen a video of myself riding here, and I could clearly see that I was still sucking up the "pop" at the lip instead of going with it and getting full amplitude.
This weekend was the first time I saw bikes outnumber scooters there. I was there with two other buddies, and as part of the over-40 crowd, we were obviously on dirt jumpers. There was another crew of 5 guys (20-somethings), 3 on BMX, one on a DJ, and one on a scooter (how his buddies didn't tease him mercilessly is beyond me!). There was one weirdo on roller skates (how are those even still a thing?!), a couple of skaters, and a handful of scooters. There's no doubt the scooter kids put us all to shame (360 bar spins, triple tail whips, backflips galore), but still, they're scooters. You can't grow old with those. better to get good at something that you can grow with IMHO!!! Like skateboards or BMX - at least that's what I tell my kids!Clearly a photoshop. You forgot to fix your scooter shadow.

My neighborhood is overrun with kids on scooters wearing Thrasher t-shirts. I can't help but to shake my head in disappointment.
Still up on Phinney?
We should. I'm in Ballard now, so still close.Yup. I didn't even know there were kids in my neighborhood until the pandemic hit. I don't know where parents were storing them, but I can't wait until they go back. We should grab a beer again once this blows over, you still in Green Lake?

Always good pics...and as always super clean...View attachment 158495
Found these while looking at Google Drive. This was the weekend before the idiots that run Santa Cruz decided that Post Office jumps should go. This is the larger line would guess the lips are around 6 feet or so...
Thats another badass pic...yeah that sucks...you catch em at the right time and focus is always spot onI wish I had gone more. That was the only time I had been there with good riders out in numbers. Had driven by once before and it was a bunch of 12 year old out there cutting their teeth and learning so didn't hang out. Yeah, I think the land was gonna be developed....
Thanks
