WoodWard

Yo! Well after Colorado I spent a week chilling out with some good family friends near LA. Then headed out into the high desert to WoodWard West. Sat in Starbucks waiting for Kalin Law and Kevin Sorichetti. Met Chris From PlusSizeBmx and he gave me a lift up to Woodward Lodge. Checked in got my room had a nap and got rudely awoken by Kalin and Kevin. Jumped in the Bronco and headed down to ride. The car felt a little weird so we stopped to check only to find that the rear wheel was just about to fall off. apparently Kalin felt something funny about 100 miles before Woodward so that was a lucky escape..
We sorted the wheel and spent the day riding the indoor park. It was boiling hot the whole week. Every day was pretty much the same woke upHeaded down for breakfast, Played on the trampolines got padded up shredded the indoor park died from the heat. laid in the shade for a few hours then when it cooled down which it never did but i felt bad for not riding so we rode the outdoor park (Enterprise) and the bowl (Crater) Best thing was everything was free Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. the only thing that was different was sometimes we rode the Trails which were super dialled. We spent one afternoon at the step up which was so fun got some sweet shots and i got crazy dirty and with me sweeting i looked like a homeless person. I would have loved to ride more there but I would have passed out from the heat. I had so much fun riding and meeting new people. Was cool to be there while Camp was going on and seeing the kids progress so much in just a week. Spent some time in the bowling alley which is on site so there is not just your sport to do. I dont think you could get bored at WoodWard and if you do its because you clearly dont know what fun is. Our last day came all to quick but we made the most of it. I needed to get some GoPro footage of what I was riding so I blitz every park I liked and got footage only thing was it was 104F which is about 40C and thats damn hot. But it was so dry so not a lot of sweat was happening and if there was it evaporated instantly. Last thing we rode was the Step Up and it was sweet to see Kevin throwing down and stomping a huge flip no hands. It was a bit strange to be riding in crazy hot weather and watch a huge thunder storm roll in. Thunder and Lightning was cool. Spent the rest of the afternoon in the pool cooling off and chilling out. Had our last dinner, said our goodbyes and started our 4 hour drive down to San Diego. I had a blast at WoodWard and cant wait to go back. Big Thanks to Jake Kinney, Kalin and Kevin and to everyone there. If I was name all of them id be here for a long time, that and Im terrible with names so ya haha. Here is a load of pictures I took on my phone. The cool ones of me riding will follow later. Stay tuned for my next blog of a week in SD. Bye! Bye!
