Trails & Track

We were all over the state today. Steve and I met up with some guys at the Willimantic Park at 9:30am for a little early morning 'crete action. We made our way from the park to Schmidt's trails with Ethan Roy in tow. Schmidt's is odd, it just never feels right to me...but some of the guys were making it through the line. We hung out there for a few solid hours before making our way to Falcon BMX in Meriden. The track was rebuilt a few weeks ago and looks pretty fun, but the heavy rains early last week rutted the place up already. We took some runs and called it a night pretty early with everyone beat.

Runnin' the Green Line

Steve and I did a little digging at the trails tonight and he decided to give the first jump of the Green Line a rip. Despite the soaking rains, it's running pretty good. So much digging to be done, so little time!

Sunset Ranch Jam: 4/21/12

Days like today define BMX and are the reason I'm 32 and still riding a little kids bike! Awesome trail jam at Sunset Ranch!! Rode with some old friends, made some new ones, nobody got hurt, everybody had a good time, and so on. A huge thanks to Chris Traverse for the invite and for having that place dialed this year! BMX!!

Legends Never Die

Today I woke to the crushing news that Mike Tag had passed away yesterday. I can't say I knew Mike, only met him a few times at East Coast Terminal and the Ghetto Street comps, but the guy def had an effect on my riding! In the late 90's and early 2K's Mike was thrashing everything he came across. The guy was an animal on a bike! Steve Crandall has a great post over on the FBM site: CLICK HERE. My thoughts go out to Mike's family and the FBM crew. Rest in peace, ride on!

Grab a shirt, grab a shovel, and get your a$$ to the trails!

Dodging Showers

Rain showers were all over the state this afternoon. It would pour for 2 minutes, dry out for 30, and pour for 5 more. Nature at it's finest! Anyway, despite all the wetness we got a solid late afternoon session in.

Squatchville

Steve found a new trails spot and has been slinging some serious dirt. I got down there the other day to lend a hand and the place is coming along nicely. We've dubbed the spot "Squatchville", as it's in some dense pine forest, there is a ton of wildlife, and we're always hearing crazy woodland noises!

First Dirt of 2012

We rode the Deep River Skatepark for several hours yesterday, then made out way to Bongi's to check out his new dirt set-up. As usual with those Haddam kids, the line is pretty wild! Despite the place being bone dry and crumbly, a few of the guys were going at it. Looking forward to riding here when the place is packed.

New Trails

Steve found a new trails spot....downhill, 30 yards from a brook, and most importantly no Poison Ivy! Looking forward to putting in some serious shovel time this Spring!

Tables & 2x4 in CT

Met up with Tony Long and the T&F crew today and to our surprise Van Homan and some of the 2x4 guys came along for the day trip. We started off at the Middlefield Park and the local skaters weren't too psyched. Eff em! We rode and dudes were having fun. Mid-day we headed over to the snake run and people were stoked. That place truly is a gem! Everyone was getting rad, taking white knuckle bomber runs, and having a good time. There were a few casualties, but nothing my zip loc bag med kit couldn't patch up. We topped the day off down at the Deep River Park and Van Homan owned the place jumping the humps....then throwing a turndown over them. All of us have been eying that up for years, I was psyched to see it go down. All in all it was a fun as hell day with a bunch of great people. Thanks to the T&F guys for venturing over 2 hours once again and thanks to the 2x4 guys for making a pit stop in CT. Always good to ride our local places with new faces.

Deep River at Dusk

Haven't ridden in 2 weeks and haven't posted in a long time. I'm back to working a day job and I've been busy and hell! Sorry folks!

Met up with some of the Mercenary crew at the Deep River Park to get rad for an hour+ before dark. Good times for sure! Really looking forward to the time change Sunday. Bring on that daylight!!

Willi with the Mass./T&F Crew

A bunch of dudes from Mass. came down to ride the Willimantic Skatepark yesterday. I figured Tony Long had 1-2 people with him, I'd was def surprised when 3 car loads of dudes showed up. We rode Willi for 3 hours and then made our way over to Baltic for another 2. Everyone was having a good time, guys were feeding off one another and throwing some rad stuff down, and most importantly a lot of fun was had! Love BMX day trips!!

This video does it no justice! Pete Henkel hucking a huge 20 ft. gap!

Combs & Smith at Willi

Romb Combs and Eddy Smith, 2 young RI rippers, made the trip over to ride the Willi Park today. I met the guys over there around 10 and the place was empty all morning! Those dudes were maching it around that park! Getting rad on everything. Sadly, my flash broke so the photos are straight up natural light and kinda shotty. Looking forward to getting some great pics next time around!

New Year's Facelift

I gave the site a minor face lift today. Enjoy the new look!
Ignore the big blank space on the right side as you scroll down, that will soon be filled with ads.  Call it selling out, but if I can generate a little income from the site it will allow me to ultimately bring more product to you guys!

Chilly Willi

Rode the Willimantic Park with some of the Fat Trax dudes again. It was pretty chilly and by the time I got there those guys had already put in 3 hours of riding. None the less, good times!
