Rooming with my brotha Colton Satterfield from Utah! Imagine driving up a mountain in Temecula’s wine country, walking thru Nasty’s front gates, signing VH1 waivers for The X-Life TV show, dodging all the Rockstar banners, and then looking over the backyard hill and seeing a monster dirt banger set. The course was wild, you start … Read more
Phil & I did two weeks of shows out of town together earlier this year with Rich, Lukens, etc. Shortly afterwards Phil came out to ride one day at the State Fair and literally slammed right to his face doing a tailwhip. Here’s the thing, Phil doesn’t fall. BROKEN FACE. Cracked cheek bone. Glenn & … Read more

Sara, Tyler & I cruised down to Fort Wayne Friday afternoon after our last show.. Seriously rode practice better than I ever have, finally starting throwing some of … Read more
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

I’ve been on the wait list forever, and one week before I got in! I was in CA at the time, and actually had to book another earlier one way flight back to MN to get home and out to Chicago in time. I drove down a few days early for practice. First of all, … Read more
The most ridiculous contest ever. Roll in bunny hop off 2 ocean containers. 14′ long x 12′ drop into an 8′ landing. Peoples knees were giving out when they hit this thing. One kid hung up on the landing and rodeo bucked to his face & went to the ER within the first 10 mins … Read more

The winners of these local contests around the US, flew out (all expenses paid) to Orlando … Read more

Went out there with 5 people and 5 bikes in Cal’s tiny Corolla. It was a long trip… I did my first opposite 360 downside whip! It took a good few years for this one… I remember back at G-Shock about 4 years ago trying these for hours. Contest was good. Contest was hot!! Lots … Read more

Once again an early flight… MSP airport at 5:00am. Layover in Denver, then to Oklahoma City for Mat Hoffman’s CFB Comp (Crazy Fricken Bikers). The dirt is fricken rediculous. 10′ landings & a crazy kicker with a 10′ gap into a 12′ tall roll in… The street course is in Mat’s cement park with about … Read more
