Hey guys, sorry there haven't been too many picture posts over the last few days but I have been pretty busy. The weather was CRAZY down here on Tuesday but everything looks good for the rest of the week.
To make up for the lack of posts over the last few days here are some pictures. Some are new, some are old, but they all have something to do with Louisiana BMX.
This first one was shot by Tommy Manasco almost a year ago. Tommy, TJ and I took at weekend trip up to Nashville, TN to ride the concrete park and hang out with Chris Mahaffey. We were about an hour outside of Nashville when I called Chris to let him know where we were but he wound up taking a last minute trip to Atlanta to film. He's a super nice guy though and he wound up letting us stay at his apartment the entire weekend while he was out of town. All three of us rode the concrete park for about 11 hours on Saturday, which is something I don't really get to do too often. Good trip for sure.
This one is Micky Marshall shredding the Majestic Thrillseeker. Micky, Cody Miller and David Gamble had been working in Mississippi for the last few weeks but decided to come home a little early which is good news for BMXers in Baton Rouge. (Pic: Erik Stevenson)
Speaking of David Gamble, here he is doing an icepick in his soon-to-be-former living room. David is leaving BR for the desert oasis known as Las Vegas. Will he return? Only time will tell but one thing's for sure, we all enjoyed his stay here in Baton Rouge. David is a nice guy with some skills on the BMX. (Photo:Erik Stevenson)
Over the weekend I was doing some thinking about how to go faster on my bike. I took a page from the roadbike crew and decided to shave my legs. I didn't have a good razor so I thought that sliding my leg against some bricks would be a suitable alternative. Probably not the best idea. It didn't really hurt until I got in the shower, where my whole leg felt like it had been lit on fire. Now I have a new Rueben tire tattoo and a killer brush-burn across my left leg. So sweet!
That's about all for now. Big props to Ooti for posting the Lafayette news, even if it was about a naked dude. Also, big props to the Ooter for keeping the scene rolling in Lafayette- he's been working hard for a few years and it's good to see some stuff coming together. He claims I will be moving to Lafayette soon because they are building some killer dirt jumps. If that's the case then I'm there! Oh yeah, another shout out to Ooti-Tang for bringing my bag back from Austin. I needed that deodorant bruh!
