Steve and I met up with Mike B. and Bryan and hit up the Willimantic Park mid-day. I was expecting the place to be all wet and covered in leaves and branches from the storm, but I was dead wrong, the park was mint. We had a fun session and Bry threw down a man-sized abubaca 90's DMC style. Mike landed a clean truck over one of the hips, good stuff. On the way home we stopped at the Hebron Park and just when I thought everyone was tired, Mike and Bryan start firing out sub box tricks on the huge wedge's safety rail. Dudes ain't right! the drop on the backside is a solid 12'! It was good to get out and ride with the guys and enjoy the nice weather after all the rain we've had from Sandy. Looking forward to binge eating some candy tonight. Happy Halloween!

Mountain Miles
Been putting in some serious time on the mountain bike lately...and neglecting the BMX. Got a ride in Monday morning before Hurricane Sandy hit, it was pretty gnarly out!
Sunday
Buttery
Yesterday's jam at the Buttery Brook Park was rad! Gotta send a huge thanks out to Colby for inviting us up and letting me set up the tent and peddle some merch. The local crew that renovated the park did a hell of a job, the place flows great and there are a lot of fun lines. The Box Jump Best Trick event was off the hook with a 720, decade, and 3 whip getting fired out. The box monkey's were in full effect emptying their bags of tricks! The Long Jump Contest was held in the gravel parking lot and I was convinced someone was gonna die. There were a few epic scorpion grinds and a little blood shed, but at the end of it all the dude blasting 32+ feet rode away with nothing more than some broken forks :P Super fun day, great weather, and awesome to see so many riders young and old coming out to ride and donate some cash to the park. Really looking forward to getting back up to Buttery Brook before the snow arrives!

NEJC WAS BONKERS!
No long winded post folks, just the simple facts. NEJC was epic! 600+ people, 100+ riders all gathered in one place for the love of BMX. I shot about 5 photos all day, I was too busy peddling TYRANT merch, taking in the madness, and binge eating $3 hamburgers from the Steam Punk. Counting down the days till NEJC 2013!
Thanks Chuck!

Mansfield Cross Action
So I haven't raced since CrossVegas at Interbike in 2008, but that's coming to an end bright and early Saturday morning. I've registered to give 'em hell in the Cat 4 race at the Connecticut Cyclocross Championships at Mansfield Hollow. I'm sure it's gonna hurt like hell cause my cardio is pretty shot right now, but I've got plenty of leg strength and BMX skills to get me by. Should be a blast...especially riding this 31 year old beast! I'm sure all the other spandex jockey's in my race will be riding carbon, several thousand dollar bikes. F that, STEEL!

Sunday Morning Squatch
Steve and I hit up the Squatchville Trails for a little morning maintenance and some riding. After an hour or so of removing the puddle and dialing in the Green Line the place was ready for action. As usual, Steve gave it hell!
