22/11/08 my b-day jam, banksgiving jam, movie premier
« on: November 24, 2008, 04:31 PM »
WOW!  I haven't had a day like this since....ever!  I have had countless bmx memories, each a little different, but Saturday should go down in my files as nothing short of epic.  They day started sketchy when the park operator was late, but since they cut the price in half and let us ride an hour into the public skate only session, all is forgiven :) 

Clairemont skatepark 8:45 am to noon.
Lee Reynolds was awesome!












Mike Dominguez






Dan Hubbard
and yes he did a backward nose manual down the whole ramp
















Mike Parenti










Mike Montgomery on a 26" this year


720 step up








A hydrolic gyro




Damon Nichols/Ramp Rat showed up and rode this




Me












Xavier


Alvin


Tony Murry bailed early, broke another rib, gashed his arm on something, and had a huge lump on his head. 


more pics


























After my birthday jam we headed for Dennis Enarson's house to check out the Banksgiving Jam.
There was some crazy shit going down from some top riders.




















Mike Parenti, first day back from a broken hand and six weeks off.






And finally, that night at 7pm we went to the movie premier for "Writing On The Wall" featuring the Nike 6.0 riders.
Nigel Sylvester, Mike Spinner, Dennis Enarson and Garrett Reynolds


We decided to get our own group shot








That is it, that was my bmx day for my 41st birthday and I can't imagine my 42nd could possibly be better than this.  But I will try.

A huge, huge thanks goes out to Xavier Mendez for helping to notify all of the riders at my party.  Lee, dude, wow!  Tony Murry officially has roll-in-itis, pick up your front wheel man!  Mike D and little Mike D great riding with you again.  Thanks to all of the riders who came out to ride.  Pictures by Lee Reynolds, Alvin Mullins and Andy Shohara.

I forgot to mention that Catfish was MC at the banksgiving jam and movie premier, but he did show up early to the skatepark and rode with us in the morning.  Thanks for showing up Catfish, was a pleasure to meet and hang with you.

Andy - it was really great to see you mate. It must have been almost 20 years since we'd se each other. I had a blast as did my son.  Very tough hanging out with a 4 year old at a skatepark, he wanted to ride everywhere and not look where he was going, so max. hand holding was needed, which stopped me from hacking around on my goose.

a very lovely quad w/ graphite tuff's


Mike D and Lee have a chat


me and lee - haven't seen him since '86 either


the man the myth the ledgend, a very young looking Andy


an old schools mongoose amongst a sea of new school - one kid goes let me have a try at a power wheelie and he pulled it off too!


this backyard jam was off the hook - starting to really love the new school riding - they can be going a a slow speed, hit the undervert and go 7ft with ease.








Andy - thanks for a mental day.

 I was in san Diego this week for a few days with the family. i thought I'd check out where Andy's Clairemont skatepark was... and just my luck.. it was on the same street as where we were staying. Pity I made it a month too late for the jam, but its a wicked park. The half pipe is huge. I don't know if the photos give it justice. It must have 2 feet of vert.

and the concrete bowl is huge also. I could never ride that. 

The sun was belting down and the waves were lovely.  8)  What a  place to live.. lucky so and so's. Andy,Ramprat and the others.. :daumenhoch:

Hey Ross, if you're in San Diego again you have to hit me up!
I think that's me on the big 1/2 pipe.
