Cloud 9 Part 2

Posted in Dirt, Kelby Clark, Other Riders, Rob Helm | No Comments »

Well you can’t win them all, but Kelby is damn close. After a large rain storm in Georgia I had the opportunity to repair Kelby’s newly created park and get it back up to 100% totally sick status.

Watch the video checkout the flow and start building.

Kelby is an awesome rider for his age, and age aside he is a great rider. Be prepared to see some great stuff coming from him. I will just reference his work on the U box.

Cloud 9

Posted in Dirt, Kelby Clark, Rob Helm | No Comments »

As bad as the intro is we did not read anything it was just emotionless improv.  Rob is a fantastic down hill mountain biker and he has a real knack with dirt. He and I finished building a skatepark in Maine and Kelby noticed the video online. His gears started turning and we started talking.

The build took about 3 days, and we ended with an 18 hr day and then jumped back on the road. That drive was the worst experience of my life, but we had to be in Washing DC that morning. I just want to get this off my chest; 5 hour energy in a bottle is a lie… If you are really really super really tired it is only 1.5 hour energy and then you hurt and hallucinate a large green cog coming from the road at about 5 am. We couldn’t stay awake so we did the safest thing we could. Sleep be hind an old run down graffitied gas station.

Cloud 9 is so much fun. If I had a park like this one when I was first learning to ride I would have caught all the air in the world  accidentally suffocating every man woman and child, but then I would have brought them back to life with a 02 rich gust of 360 and 540 air.

Enjoy it Kelby

Put 3 of your favorite days together including Erie, Canton and Mars and what do you get? A video that took about 15 min to edit and one of my favorite chronicles of my life.

Oh my backyard. Fond memories. This was the first day I put a grab and a spin together. I want everyone to know I was the only one who cleared and worked this trail and everything was dug by me with a shovel. I didn’t even use a wheel borrow.

Took a nice long road trip with my friend Lee, and I over shot and under edited. The important thing is that now you can feel like you were there.

I really like this video. Catching Candy in the air, smiling, falling, and doing some basic tricks on a broken in half mountainboard being held together by a srewed on piece of 1″x6″ wood. Nothing but the best.
