Wooden Ramps

Puyallup session 11/10/13 from Nathan Delp on Vimeo.

So it looks like Nate has access to a time machine and has provided us with a glimpse of what Fun Spot should look like. If you would like the Fun Spot to be a permanent fixture in the Santa Cruz shredding community, sign this waiver!  Or if you find yourself in town on Thursday, come check out Biker Texas Ranger, AKA Mark Hubbard's band, Oatmeal Cookie, play at Moe's Alley. $5 at the door, show starts at 8:30pm.  Gotta love this time of year in SC.  Nothing hints at winter more than 70 degree sunny weather.

Sponge Spot

I gotta say, I've been feeling like riding the fun spot lately. Thanks for snapping these pics Steve!

Paused Motion

Once again, the park could use some love so here are some pictures from the Fun Spot taken by Nate Delp. I'm starting to think there are gophers living in the ramps. Another round of badgering the parks department?

Mike will take a stand for prime places to ride.

Happy Halloween 2011!

We usually forget birthdays, dates for jams, and plenty more relevant events that generally effect the Clubbin' brethren. But today, I'd like to wish everybody a happy Halloween. Halloween is a good holiday; not my favorite holiday, but it's still fun after all these years. Especially since I'm psyched on the crew, the costume, and the near future. Cheers! Also, thanks to Nathan, Jackson, Crazy Chris, and everyone who came out on Saturday that made for an awesome Fun Spot jam. Blew my expectations away for sure.

Make sure to check this link too, for a glimpse of the new FBM video. Should be rad, and a premiere is in the works too...

Boo There...

...or boo square. The fun starts at noon, and there will be pizza, shredding, prizes, and costumes. Get into the spirit; the haunted spirit! I know there are a bunch of hungry ass kids out there, so make sure you bring a non-perishable food item for an entry fee. See you there, homies!



Speaking of homies, here are some vids from the Country Clubbin' extended family. Take a look!

Road trip to Reno anyone?

Reminders

Just in case y'all forgot, the Fun Spot in Santa Cruz is having a jam on Sunday, Halloween. Wear a costume, dooda most, and get some gear. If somebody makes it to HOW6, Fun Spot, and Clayton whilst busting at every stop, I will buy them a 40 of Country Club. It will be a rad time, so I strongly encourage all to make their way out to the 831 on Halloween!

Holy Fuck!

In the name of table top pictures over the hip at fun spot, I think Kyle has helped Country Clubbin' step on everybody's dick. Fuck yes Hutch!

Tricks and Treats

Going down for the third year in a row. If you're sour about not winning anything, then you can always recycle the cans/bottles, which would probably amount to an astronomical sum. And if you don't have a costume, you are a barn. This was linked from Mario's blog. More details soon...

Broke Back Box Jump

Well, Broke my back in two places. FunSpot wins again

Even Newer FunSpot

This is why the city threw our bike park westward about 100 yards

"SANTA CRUZ -- Almost 17 years after President George H.W. Bush marked the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary off-limits to oil drilling, shark chumming and Jet Skis, visitors to Surf City will soon be able to see the wonders that the national sanctuary was created to protect.

Exactly $3 million in federal funding came through Thursday to help build the $16 million Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Exploration Center on the former "Fun Spot" skateboard and bicycle park across from Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf.

Supporters say that money, coupled with about $4.6 million in federal dollars expected this September, is the final amount needed to begin construction. Crews could break ground as soon as January. The visitors center is expected to draw about 350,000 people annually."

The attraction will feature an intertidal touch pool; a floor-to-ceiling model of a kelp forest, complete with a scuba diver; a theater projecting footage of deep sea critters found in the bay's underwater canyon; and other exhibits.




Good times had on that peace of land, but I think the marine lab will be awesome

Update

The Santa Cruz police detpartment will not accept formal complaints over the phone. To make a complaint there is a form that needs to be filled out, they may be picked up in person down at the cop shop.

Santa Cruz parks and rec will refer you to : Steve Hammak 420-5366, regarding hard to interpret signage located at depoparkspot.

The muni code ordinace that Macintosh "violated" is here:


13.12.010 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. No person shall ride a skateboard or bicycle or permit a minor for whom he or she is responsible to ride a skateboard or bicycle in a city park or recreational facility unless the person or minor, while riding the skateboard or bicycle, is wearing a helmet, elbow pads and knee pads. (Ord. 2007-15 § 2, 2007: Ord. 94-47 § 1 (part), 1994).

Now the question remains, did the officers have sufficiant proof that andlbeev was in fact riding without head sholders knees and toes? Or was he merely moving in the direction of said officers with the intent to communicate?

you be the judge.



FREE ANDY !!!

Beware !

guestapo-po's are in full effect down at the funpark bike ranch, andy macbook got shenanigan'ed for not wearing a cup and trying to flea the scene.

formal complaints will be happening, ask jackson for more info.

on a lighter note, an old interweb classic makes a comeback today courtesy of hot rods and courtry-space:

Small BIG spot? Funner?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH yeah (coolaid guy voice)


The new funspot will be of actual fun size. So maybe not as many grom 26ers doing the trademark clockwise fuck andy maguire up loop. Which in my opinion was the biggest down fall of the old park, who the fuck wants to hit 2 weak boxes in a never ending clockwise loop, fucking up everyone that has any creativity to use the ob-stacles in a different way.

The new box will be 6 feet tall, 12 feet wide, and 10 feet long; and shit ryan fuckin nyquist is building it. AND! Gone is the stupid ass wallride/berm that succeeded in wasting about half the available wood for the old not-so-fun spot. I cannot wait to drink a 40 and pee under the new ramps. sweet deal.

Come out this weekend and lend a helping hand and check out the new park. Im looking at you B-Rad.



stole these photos from jackson allen because i am unable to do anything for myself

The last session at Funspot was fuckin weak, ruined my bike, so I guess no BMX fun for a while, I will now be posting porn.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

Luke shot some photos a while back at the soon to be dead Fun Spot Wharf location, so I figured I'd post them up. I'm kinda bummed, this has become my favorite hip to ride, hope its gonna be set up at the new park.
