- Colorado Crankworks
I went up to Winter Park this weekend to check out the Colorado Crankworks event. This has become one of the must-do comps for the slopestyle athletes and the course showcased the abilities of the riders well. In the end Brandon Semenuk took home the $6,000, tricking threes, flips and variations on all the hardest features. As an indication of how huge the course was, things took on a serious tone, when rider Alex Poch fell backflipping out of the soup bowl and broke his femur. Heal up man.

- A few pics from the National Champs
I spent the day at Sol Vista yesterday taking in the national championship pro race. The course was sick. Lots of big booters and flat corners. Aaron Gwin took the victory home on his Yeti.

- Desert Adventure
I spent the last few days out in the desert floating the Colorado river, and biking around Moab. We started at the West Water put-in and spent the night out on the river returning to Cisco a day later. From there I followed the Colorado further and ended up in Moab for a weekend of riding with friends.

- Published!
So I am excited to report I got my first ever shot in a magazine! I am in front of the lens not behind it for this one. Some of you may remember that a few months ago Eddie Clark took some outstanding shots out at the jumps near my place. Well one of the shots has made it into the Mountain Flyer photo-annual as a 2 page spread!

- Private Ranch Trails
So this summer I was lucky enough to get hired to do some trail work for a former business colleague of mine. He has a gorgeous ranch in the northern foothills, and plenty of space for some built features. He’s just getting his feet wet in the DH scene so we proposed to build some pretty low consequence, but bigger stuff. We put in 3 large tables, and a really fun bermed single track entrance. Everything turned out great, and he hired us for a second round, which this time was an 8 jump mountain crossy line. We lined up a bob cat and went to town in a dusting of fresh snow.
Of course the setup is private so don’t expect to ride any of this any time soon :p

- Pacific Travels
I have been lucky enough to get out and do some traveling lately. First, my adventures took me to the lush climate of British Colombia where I checked out the Whistler Mountain Bike park and Vancouver. Next it was on to San Fran to see Radiohead and many others at the Outside Lands Festival.
Here are some pictures of my travels

Last week I got my walking papers from the doc for my broken foot. Had a great session with friends out at Eaton and Micheal Chilcoat was there to capture the action. Check out his Flickr Album.

- Lyons Outdoor Games – DJ Comp
Yesterday the town of Lyons put on their Outdoor Games. A great little grassroots festival that brings local kayakers, bikers, and outdoor enthusiasts to the town of Lyons. This year the event featured a dirt jump competition and local diggers Dave Camp and TJ Sharp spent the last few weeks putting in a set in the middle of a field. A few local landscaping firms helped them with some dirt, and they shaped everything up.
The local comp featured a bunch of my friends, some local BMX talent, and a few Lyon’s locals given’er. Little Matt Cordova took home the cash with his consistent tricks and high energy riding while his brother Joey was a crowd favorite with turn down backs, and 360 combos. AJ Threw down a technical double tail whip for best trick of the day. Big ups to all the competitors and to Lyons. These DJs are here to stay, so I am sure we’ll be having some more fun a this spot.

- Summer Nights – Eaton Park
It’s been digging season lately. My foot is getting a lot better but I am not quite cleared to ride how I want to yet. So instead of shredding with the boys, I am behind the camera. Eaton is running great.
