Ahhh… Austin!!!!

Steve stretching big no foot cans over this gnarly hip in the gnarly humidity prior to the whip of death followed by hours of who, want, when, why, how… followed by hours of who, want, when, why, how… followed by hours of who, want, when, why, how… followed by hours of who, want, when, why, how… followed by hours of who, want, when, why, how…


Steven and his whip of Deth…
This was me yesterday… this shit sucks!!!

Steve trying to regain his composure after a good head slap while wearing his helmet.

Well, we ditched Angel Fire for another all night drive into Austin, Tx. We went from 25 degrees and snowing to 95 and 90% humidity but at least we’re riding dirt!!!

And famous dirt at that… 9th st. This is everybody on the trip’s first time to Austin and so far we love it!!! Just on the drive in we saw ditches and banks everywhere. After a quick stop to eat at Pita Pit we headed over to 9th st. to ride this ridiculous spot!!! Aaron Ross and Taj stopped by, Aaron and Steve switched bikes for a bit and Aaron wasted no time in downside whipping Steve’s Riot.
Thomas was killin’ shit at 9th st. and pushing everybody to step up. He and Bafus started riding the big line with a huge left hip for the 2nd set and they were both tricking it with tuck no handers, lazy 1 hander 1 footers, no foot cans but then Steve says… “I’m gonna whip it…” and rides away. I get set up in a tree for a cool shot thru the trees as Steve drops in and sends another beautiful tailwhip around to pedals and cases… blowing his feet off and sending him crashing head first into a roller at the bottom of a 7′ tall, steep landing. I jumped down from the tree to find Steve twisted around his bike snoring and bleeding… after a few scary moments, he comes around and is doing fine except a headache and swollen eye. Steve is the 2nd knock out so far this trip… this has to stop now thanks. He’s up playing video games right now. We decided to call it a day after that. Good night from the Motel 6 on I 35 N in Austin, Tx.
