Hey guys, sorry about the lack of updates on the site but I've been busy. I took a little weekend trip to Austin, Texas with Micky Marshall and David Gamble. The trip was ridiculous- Austin is the most laid back place I have ever been. Big thanks to Joel for letting us stay at his house and showing us a side of Austin I have never seen. There is so much more to do there than just ride bikes. Also, big thanks to Seth and Lisa for providing us with some wonderful conversation and freestyle rapping.

We also got to check out the new Etnies video, Grounded, and I'll just sum it up like this: BUY THE VIDEO!!!! Not only is the riding COMPLETELY out of hand, but the production quality and style of the video are unbelievable. If you buy any video this year or next year, buy this one. Companies need support from riders to keep cranking out videos of this caliber, so do your part and pick up Grounded.

Unfortunately, nobody on the trip had a camera with them so we don't have any sweet pics to look at, but we did a fair share of riding 9th St. I was a big titty and didn't jump Main Line but I had a good time riding the small jumps and watching Micky Marshall roast over the big jumps. Thanks to the 9th St. locals for the hospitality and the BBQ on Sunday afternoon. Talk about not wanting to leave...


The ride home went by really quickly because everyone in the truck had some tall tale to tell about the weekend. But the story-telling crown definitely goes to Micky Marshall. He kept David and I entertained for about 5 hours with crazy stories about him growing up in Ohio. Thanks a bunch for passing the time Micky.

That's about it for now. Big thanks to Joel and his roommates Seth and Lisa for showing us around, and to all the 9th St. locals for being so chill.
