Shots from comp in Asheville saturday. Cool course and fun peeps but didn't quite compare to years past. I didn't take many but here's some.
Ben M is my hero.
Mid way through a 3.
Since the competition wasn't too hott (I wish it were downtown like years past, there's something I dig about downtown Asheville, especially when there's a festival going on, this is not to take any props away from the organizers and builders of the course) we went dirt jumping in g'ville afterwards, here's a couple shots from that, I'm waiting for better shots for the full release of the new spot.
This is the small line, basically just a lot of new dirt on last year's overgrown jumps. That berm is about 300% bigger than it used to be though.
The other set is a good bit bigger, about chest high lips and 12-15ish foot gaps, as soon as we get some speed/distance issues worked out on the second hit I'll have shreddage pictures of those too.

well, considering not a single pro knew about it, was invited, was not advertised, etc...it's kind of hard to get people to show up.T-Pirate said:
Did you not stick around long enough to run into Voreis and snag some pics of him?
bizutch said:
Nope, never saw him.
Matt Purcell said that late that afternoon a BMX pinned it when nobody was looking and hit one of the ramps and launched his arse up over the massive 8 foot fence around the track and landed to flat on the pavement on the other side.T-Pirate said:
He said nobody saw him do it but him and 1 or 2 others and that it was more insane than anything he's seen! Wish I could have witnessed that.
Apparently, it was the guy pulling barspin backflips on that spine at the downtown course 2 years ago.
My new project, just for kicks and a fun BMX bike until I get a new one in the next few weeks. This bike was found at a local Elementary School missing the rear wheel and the right pedal was seized. The brake cables were rusted ans seized, and the chain was so rusted that I was able to break it off with one whack of the hammer.
Anyway, it is a 20" Diamondback steel frame (i think it's from the early 90's) with the original handlebars, threaded headset, 1-piece cranks, sprocket, grips, and seatpost. The wheelset is a 44/48-spoke combo street wheelset from a 1998 GT Performer w/ 10mm axles, the seat is from the same GT, and the brake is an Avid 2.0 SD V-Brake and matching lever from a 1998 Specialized FSR Comp. I'm not sure of the front sprocket size, but it looks to be around 44t, and the back i think is an 18t, maybe a 16t. This wonderful build is topped off with an exquisite rattle-can two-tone paint job with my masterful overspray technique onto the black frame.
Here it is...

dark mtn.
Yesterday we decided to head up to pisgah to camp and ride. We only had one night because I have work today, but we got a good ride in and had fun.
Crossin the creek to setup camp.
The cooler is stocked.
My friend Zach shows a strawberry who's boss.
Some Shreddage.
Pisgah has some okay scenery.
Some more shreddage.
At the top, this is called Slate Rock.
And one last one from camp, we got rained on after this and had to go in the tent early.

Looks like a fun time up in pisgah. Massanutten was really sweet too this weekend. I actually remembered to get some pictures there too instead of just leaving my camera in the car.

A couple of pics from a really cool (and hard) skinny at an undisclosed location...
That skinny is really hard. I got like 3 feet on the log after you drop down that steep roller thing.
at least it's not so high up that you face emminent peril if you fall off...that's my kind of skinny 
haha yeah it's crazy. It's downhill the whole way, but the way we built it, it's uphill on the skinny. 
nice work mike looks hard and fun
It is super hard, and it makes me mad.
Has anybody gotten it all the way yet?
