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.

Hauling Otis

If Jackson Allen was a WWII fighter plane, he'd be the JackAl (or maybe JacKill). Transitioning from FBM flow rider to full blown Youtube pro, Jackson hauls ass, jumps more fences than an episode of Cops, and gets rad to a song that is thankfully not the Black Keys. He even gets a tug boat to go fast! High fives will be in order, next time I see you bossman! Expertly paired with a LeastMost article with photos by Nate Delp.  If you need more tabletops, I suggest you pick an IKEA catalog.

Also, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Thomas Re out in Santa Rosa, who's turning 30 today.  Thomas is an OG Santa Rosa shredder who was definitely one of the first people I remember really catching me off guard as to how good of a rider you could be.  Cheers boys,  the weekend is upon us!

grEight Three One

Heavily inspired by the new movie, Chasing Mavericks, local riders in Santa Cruz are trying to live like Jay and "GET IT IN." The Hunger Games have officially started, with the help of Nate Delp and his 7Deeznuts. Some pics from a Monterey session, hopefully scaring some old people. Mike Hutch pulling a Tupac by putting out more riding content when he isn't capable of riding. And finally a tribute to that guy Tyler Smith and what he does best - rip around skateparks. I love the GR831!

Maimed Monday

This post goes out to Hutch, who has a broken hand. Luckily these tricks use bluetooth hands-free technology. Goddamn. Nate Delp pfotograffiee.

Also check out this video of this year's You Better Show Up Jam. I showed up, Dusty showed up, and Caveman showed up; did you? More content, spread out over the course of the week, rather than one gigantic post. Just you watch!

Alpha Frail

After fifty years, Spider Man finally enlisted the help of a side-kick by the name of Andy Maguire, otherwise known as Alpha. I hope it all adds up now; not working a landscaping job, the regular posts on the blog, catching me riding around town during business hours. Let's just say that working for Mr. Parker has it's perks and there really is a lot of down time when your career choice is super hero. On the flip side, I'm protecting the citizens of Santa Cruz County (with some exceptions in Santa Clara and Monterey Counties) from tweekers, bike thieves, scum, and schoolyard bullies. Oh shit, I think I just compromised my secret identity.

Based on this video, Dakota Roche is doing pretty well as Corey Martinez's BMX super hero sidekick. Although I kind of wonder what kind of green, toxic and possibly carbonated goo he had to drench himself with in order to get those lightening reflexes, insane pop, and unmatchable steeze. What could that substance be? And would enough Country Club have the same effect?

Where is Bin Lomond hiding?

Tucked away in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Ben Lomond is a hot spot to ride. Literally. Look at the sweat glistening off the shirtless bodies. Nate Delp captures the fun.

Nate came out to Santa Cruz with some friends a few months back and is a certified solid dude. Saw this edit of him on BMXboard figured it best to extend the membership of the Country Club. Simple and stylish, from a person with a good appreciation for old school Nick programming.
