Dubuque

The Dubuque trip went alright. The jumps were ruined after a flood this summer so we rode street all day. . . . and a long day it was. Early in the day Kevin got a bunny hop to 180 off a 4 set of stairs and Matt got a nice little manual to barspin to manual. After that we hung out under this sketchy bridge with a really nice concrete bank for a while. Kevin and Matt both got 180 taps and I got a barspin to fakie I was pretty proud of. We sort of got chased out of there by a crazy cracked out family. After that we found a cool little grass bank. Matt and I both got 360 taps and kevin was really close to 180'ing it. The highlight of my trip was the wallride-manual I got at the parking garage next to the grass bank. It was my first ever and I felt pretty rad about it. We took some footage that i'll try and edit sometime soon. I definitely think more mini road trips need to happen this year. I know Sugarbottom has to happen as well as another Fort Dodge trip. Who's in?

silly computers! that sounds like a lot of fun if you like getting your legs shredded to bits in a sausage grinder. a ride like that would make me cry for my mommie.
