I'm coming out that way for the Lookout race and I'm trying to do some freeriding after the race but am trying to find people to ride with who aren't leaving right after for Danger Bay. I have nothing to offer but friendship and stoke!

Theres plenty more where that came from.
it seems everytime we make it out to a hill ive had my eye on, it turns out to be better than we thought, and we find two more to check out.
Rado keeps producing, and weve only scratched the surface.
if you are willing to drive a bit, you can find some magic.
Got a whole new loop planned next week Robbie!

I haven't seen or heard much from DC's race so I can only guess your all still in recovery. (Greatest quote ever!) "My boy 125K Rimes!" I really can't wait to see the pics. So the Cali Series winners are who so far?? Kelly @ SLO, Mercado @ Dump, Mischo @ Barett, Zak @ Malibu, and now what's his name @ Danny's. How you bunch of knuckleheads put together a World Class Series is just too cool. Way to go Outlaw organizers!
I had Claude-Éric Charbonneau stop by on his tour of the U.S. this past week. Not to impressed with his Swiss Bob skills but the conditions were pretty fast. If you see this guy on the road, well he's family.
Eric joined myself, DuBois, Coop, and Joel on a hill hunting mission to Western Colorado. Justin has been mapping out the State and has a great knowledge of hills that I've only thought about hitting. I don't want to give that much up about what we rode but to check these BIG ROADS off my list finally is kinda liberating. We had a blast. Not one person changed a wheel, just grab your board and go. Fun to look at road none of us had ever seen and bomb with friends who had the same excited nervous smile. I want to go back this weekend!
pic cred DuBois.
I won't be in Portland this weekend and will hope to see ya at Maryhill in the Fall.
Sign up for the Colorado Race at Lookout!!! BB Downhill after Ditchslap. See you at both.
See you guys in DC in the Fall! DCDC That kid shoulda been holding up a Migration Board and talking about NCDSA!

Happy Birthday Koma Kino! Thanx for everything last year in France. My favourite Frenchman to fry with.
The American Dream's Birthday is today also. Is it time to start shaving?
Congrats to Fast Freddie and Lou who just had there second boy Laurik!! Can't wait to see you guys this summer in Munnsville.
Sux big slimeballz not to be making it to DC's or Maryhill this month. And one thing I will miss is a session on Tabor. That is a great place to ride when we all get together in Portland and guess I will be there in the late summer? Things at the glue factory are pretty slow so it has been harrd to cover shifts.
Liam you gotta let me win just once! I don't think you will get the chance to beat me in Europe this summer. money sux now.
Gotta run.
A certain French Canadian has invaded Rado and will shredding Vail w/ me Thursday and Friday. Get here Friday night for Swiss Bob runs and Saturday we head to Junction for hill recon with the Estes Crew.

Too bad you can't make Rob, that hill doesn't seem steep enough for Minis but I guess so, the only problem is trying to fit that with 4 guys and all their stuff. I don't think we'll be able to bring any.
Did you see this old school race video? Just had it the other weekend at Mt. Tabor. It's part of a downhill series in Portland, PDX Downhill. Click here for link Casey Morrow filmed and edited it.

For too many responsible reasons I can't make it to your race DC and it sux! I hate this feeling of not being able to make it just to pound Buds with you. Ya'll have fun and which hill did you decide on? I've heard the gnarly one has dragons and pits of despair and a corner with only room for one skater? Have fun and I was just telling the story of Ghost Riding the Whip and Jon Huey's dancing.
I road with my gps (snowboard) on Columbine and Ledges on the frontside of Vail for those of you following along at home. Ok so off Chair #2 same runs we do on the Bob. I hit 55mph on the Bob @ night groomed. My groomed early morning speeds on the board were only 52mph. I thought it was pretty cool to find that the lil plastic Bob was that fast and my board was that slow. The stuffs melting up here fast so make your plans to shred before it's all gone.
I road Battle Mountain Pass the other day and it was kinda scary. Lots of sand in the road and Mag chloride slicks in the turns with tailwinds. I did one run and bugged out. There were snow removal trucks and run off so things in the high country need some time. The Front Range seems to be hitting? How are things goin with the race on Lookout?
Happy Birthday Danny!

So you know Zoo Bomb, from Maryhill of course. Well they recently had their Mini-Bike Winter event in Portland, full of mini bike events and chariot wars. The crazyiest s#@! ever. People just pounding on each other on bikes chariots. Anyway, here are some of the photos from the event. This first is Billy the Kid doing some mini bike races.

Really rad for Zak (RADO) and the podium being Mischo (he doesn't even know where he's from) and Dubes (who might be from Florida but we claim him here in Colorado). The only races in the World are the Cali Series right now and what started as a small grassroots loosely organized series is bringing the best. I haven't been keeping track but I think Mercado has the only Cali local win this year??? Way to go Muffins!
I'm sorry I won't be able to make your race DC and just don't want to miss the jam session in your living room or cooking for eeerbody or hanging in your front yard looking back at your nieghbors or getting to the podium with Portland and Santa Fe. Your race last year and my trip to Ridgecrest was unforgettable. You had the Cali win last year at Barrett and think you need to pull one out for the home town crowd. Danny can I get your mailing address I need to send your B Day present and how old will the future of speedboarding be this year????
