Bridge Swing 3-22-09

Posted in Other Riders, Other Sports | No Comments »

Have you ever had an idea that sounded good at the time?

This is one of those ideas….

But it turns out is was totally awesome during and after.

I want everyone to know that the rope we used is for climbing and it is not rope that can be purchased for under two hundred dollars.

I would consider myself an adventure seeker and I have done many exciting things. This 70 foot bridge that we swing about 45 feet of is more exciting than anything else I have ever done. Sky diving isn’t as perceivable as this bridge swing and that is why I think i find it a bigger rush.

We now have a nice tactical leg bag for the extra rope, and if AJ Lawson is reading this I want you to know it is much safer now, we did some upgrades.

80 feet in 2.5 seconds not bad.

This is a spot in about 25 min from downtown Erie, PA

Med O Lark Time Laps

Nothing like building a skatepark in 70% rain and cold. I think we each got electrocuted  over 5 times. The wood was 3 days late and the concrete pad was 5 days late on a 14 day build. We pulled together and worked 14- 18 hour days to get it done on time, but next time I will plan for set backs because I really wanted an extra day to shred and fine tune the park.

I have heard good things from the skateboard instructor at the camp and I have received some really positive e-mails.

Thanks Med O Lark for the opportunity.

Listen to my words and if you have any questions feel free to ask. The wedge was moved closer to the bowl and I am very happy about that because it flows much better now. I really enjoyed building this skatepark and after every project this is always improved insight for the next.

Thanks again to Camp Med O Lark

CO Vacation

Posted in Brit Zab, Justin Dersham, Other Sports | No Comments »

It’s true. You cant have a bad time snowboarding in Colorado. JD and True Griz are having a blast with us in the rockies.

Interesting story time:

After a Party with an amazing spanish guitar jam session that alll the party goers joined in on Brittany and I went back to Justin’s a few hours before him. Our flight home is at lets say 3:00pm that next day. We couldn’t find Justin that morning and at 11:00 am we got a call from his mom saying that Justin was in jail for “attempted” stenciling of a sidewalk. Brit and I figured out the public transport got to the flight on time and had enough extra time to watch 300 in the theaters.

A great and eventful vacation.

PS. JD is out of Jail
