Steve threw up another quick self- edit, this time from Wethersfield Skatepark. Loving that 60/40 stall!

Belltown Fun Box
We got 3/4 of the fun box done at the Belltown Park tonight. All we have to do is add the stair set on the back side and a hubba ledge. We'll be building again Wednesday, May 5th from 5-9, come lend a helping hand!
After building last night, around 9:30, Steve and Tristan Bush sessioned the park for a bit and I snapped a few photos. Check them out: CLICK HERE

Steve @ EH
Steve shot some video of himself riding the Belltown Skatepark using his point and shoot camera. Pretty rad!

Belltown Update
Steve worked his a$$ off solo for 2 hours getting the trannies and all the boards cut for two 5' quarters. The rest of the crew showed up after school and work and got building. T was cool enough to cut her work day short and come help hold some boards and sink some screws. Her and I started framing out the deck of the fun box, which will get completed next week. The last screw was sunk around 9pm and the new quarters look mint! The park is coming along nicely, so psyched for the Summer sessions under the lights! Remember, you can always check the Belltown Blog for updates.

Rode My Sunday Away
I got in an early morning 2 hour mountain bike ride and it was super muddy in the trails. I recently found some new double wide quad trails on the outskirts of Great Hill and the riding in there is awesome! I'm really psyched on the Kona Five-O I built up, such a sick ride!
This afternoon, Steve and I met over at the Belltown Skatepark and rode for an hour or so. I can't wait till we get some more quarters built, but we made the best of what we already have there. I pointed out a pretty rad fence gap last week when we were starting to build the street spine and sure enough Steve launched it today. All I gotta say is burly gap to mini grass lander...and he did it like 4 times so I could shoot from various angles. Fun, fun!

Fairfield a BUST!
Heads up to anybody heading down to Fairfield to try and ride the new cement park, it's a total bust! Cops aren't even giving warnings, just handing trespassing tickets out straight up! Fighting a ticket and having to go to court for riding your bike is such BS!!

Highbridge NYC Park on hold!
So it appears the plans to build a new NYC skatepark at Highbridge are put on hold due to budget BS. This is a drag, because this skate plaza style park looks like it has some original obstacles and it is going to be a bike friendly park. Fingers crossed, they get the ball rolling on this sooner than later!

Street Jam
Apparently Vic from Hartford is looking to get an all day/night street session going on April 21, from Noon-dark. It looks like they are meeting at Heaven around noon and heading out around Hartford from there. Most of us have work or school, so I doubt we'll be in attendance, but if you have the day off and want to ride contact Vic by CLICK HERE.

Steve Went West
Steve Morse headed out to Ray's MTB Park with a bunch of fellow Connecticut BMX riders a few weekends ago. Check out the rad photo below shot by Justin Luong. Also, check out the video below shot by Matt Horak.

New Adventures
I spent yesterday evening at Pedal Power putting together my mountain bike. I traded the my XC frame and am on a Kona Five-O now. I didn't get the whole build complete, but with Todd's help I got a ton done. I'm looking forward to riding Mesh and Highland this year, along with my local favorites like Hurd Park and the Salmon River State Forest. Happy trails!
