Ever notice that when you're hurt and can't ride your bike, a day feels like a week? My shoulder's kept me grounded for 5 days, and all I can do is think about riding. I can't be alone there.

Sorry for the lack of updates on here. The Thrashbike Dirty Mitten Jam went down a while ago, and I've heard that it was a good time. Once videos and photos surface, I'll pull them onto here, promise.

I also failed to mention much about the Brawlin' at the Belmar, in NY on here. Everybody's probably seen this already, but if not, check the video. The video doesn't show it, but I heard that Guettler got second with a double flip and Brian Foster took first with [maybe, I think] a 720. Here's the video. Pay close attention at 1:32.

There is a bit of back and forth at the moment but it's looking like there will be a jam at Spooks trails sometime in September! We're waiting to hear word back from Adam Dayson who is working with the guys who built Spooks. We don't think it's going to be Empire of Dirt budget but it's going to a good time, so keep your weekends free around the 20th of September...

It is not often that a person comes along as dedicated to what and whom he believes in as John. Late last week after talking to some of Stephen Murray's family and the fact that he(Steven) needed a lot of love and motivation to help him continue to get better.  John decided to get the ticket and head out to his house to act as a personal care giver for Steven. It takes a lot to just pick up and leave your family, friends, home and trails. So please wish John the best with his decision when you see him. Before heading out for the west coast on Wednesday John has been shredding everything in sight especially Area and Catty.  -K

Last weekend's good weather and Big Daddy filming for his day in the life had everyone amped to ride, even Bob was blasting airs at Maple Shade with me and Brad Jameson.
