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?

what are you doing this weekend?
going to lincoln to ride with some to ponca state park. 155 miles of gravel followed by a night of camping and singletrack. uh, we'll see if i actually make it to the dirt.
damnit, that link looked right in the preview...
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.
