Fun in the desert. No comment on the Grand Canyon, that damn hole is so fricken big you can’t focus on anything. It’s insane.
Jeff & I drove down to nearly Texas the other day, the event was insane. Seriously you need to show up a week early to get enough practice in, especially if you’ve never ridden the park. Friday & Saturday practice, you’re lucky if you get 30-40 runs in before qualifiers. Special thanks to Jeremiah who … Read more

Evan and I are in San Francisco, and boy, did we ever fit in… Upgrading our rental car to a Mustang convertible was totally worth it for this photo alone. You may or may not know that just about every tech company you’ve every heard of is located in the Silicon Valley area, so Evan … Read more
