Road Trip with KB

Took off from Newark Valley Friday afternoon on a mission to get to kellys buddy's house to stay the night and then take off to Woodward in the morning. Well about half way there, on the 3hour drive, we rolled into Rockys skate park. It was an unexpected stop but that's what you expect with KB, the unexpected. Got to meet rocky..who is a super nice dude and rode the park VIP style. Rocky's is a super fun park and its definitely worth making a trip too. After that we loaded the bikes up and were off to Tommy T's. When we arrived we got welcomed to a nice little fire and some real chill people. 30 rack of PBR into it..it was time to pass out and wake up for Woodward the next day. The next morning I woke up to an inch of water in my tent from all the dew and it was about 40 degrees out I think..kidding, but it was for sure colder than shit out. KB woke up all nice and dry out of his tent that was perched on top of the box jump..that bastard. So after getting up we downed some coffee and red bull and headed out through Amish country too Woodward. Arriving at Woodward was kind of overwhelming once you realize how massive it really is. We payed our 35 bucks and got our shred on. We hit up the rock first which was really fun. The ledges their are like butter. Then we hit up little dirt with the baker kids. Sure enough though 2 hours into our long awaited destination it began to rain. So everyone piled in lot 8..it was fun until the crowds kept pouring in. Needless to say with the amount of people at Woodward this day all in lot 8..it was way to frustrating to ride. So after some wondering around we got to sneak into cloud 9 VIP style where the owner to Woodward was observing some of the pro riders. It was a sight to see for sure. After a few hours of chillen their we decided to make the long trip back home. It was unfortunate that it rained but it was definitely worth the experience.
Here are a few photos from the trip..I really didn't get a chance to film much or take pics because I didn't want to waste any riding time and its a good thing I didn't..fuckin rain....

Nike Vs KB/NV

So we all know that 3 years ago Nick Marz won the Nike contest for a backyard mini ramp. Well now it's time for Nike to hold true to their promise, now that we have the park paved, and they are totally backing out. Thinking that sending us riders/skaters from NV shoes is going to make up for them not holding true to their promise of a mini ramp in NV. WE raised $10,000 dollars to get that park paved..sure we were going to do it anyway..but we had the thought of a kickass mini that was going to be built there for us to ride in fall. Now these big timing fucks are going to back out? jesus Nike if you wanted to make headway in the bmx community you ought to hold true to your word. I was always skeptical about Nike entering bmx thinking that they would just throw around money to make it look like they cared about our sport. Turns out I was right, they are all image and not about US and the sport of bmx. Well heres more of the dl on the situation ( http://thecomeupbmx.net/news/nike-vs-kelly-baker ) just thinking about this shit pisses me off so i'm done. Please read from the link above and post in the comments!

P.S. word on the street is we got a better hook up coming from some other companies..so look for that..KB is the shit!
