omaha!

Rolled to Omaha today with Kevin and Matt for some street and park action. Our adventure really started yesterday when i picked Matt up from school. We rode the ankeny park, downtown des moines and then the urbandale park before crashing out at my mom's house in des moines. This morning Kev showed up around 8:30 and we were on the road by 9. The drive to Omaha wasn't to bad. We stopped for some McDonalds cause that's what dirtbag mountain bikers eat. Once we got to Omaha our first order of business was a seek and destroy mission at Roberts skate park. The park was definitely set up for skateboards because everything was really tight and all the transitions were short and steep. After the mandatory shredding we drove downtown. We found some pretty decent spots. Kevin hit this really haggard waterfall gap thing that took some serious nuts. Matt was 180'ing everything in sight and I got a couple manuals. Everyone ate shit at least once today. Kevin smashed his nogin pretty good on a botched 180 and I had a pretty ugly dismount after a 3 tap that left me face down on the cement. We got some serious footy so expect a video in the next week or so. On the way back we listened to Fu Manchu at the minimum 100 decibals. Here are some pictures:
