BMX tour de Austin.

I got to spend a week in Austin, tx in April riding some of the best trails Texas has to offer. Unfortunately I had no camera, but did take one day off riding trails to do some street riding with my boy J. We rode or little bikes all around the city hitting a lot of good spots in the south and central area. All pic’s were taking by J.

Capital of Texas

For Bmx Austin, tx is a hot spot in the dirty south. Offering amazing trails, awesome street, and a handfull of skateparks. People from all over the world come to ride austin in the beautiful winter weather time. The other weekend i decided I would take a trip up to Austin the caught up with my bros the do some riding. Thanks to J I was able to come back with some photos enjoy.

The last week of the trip Vernon and I stayed at our friend Adam Chatfields house in Beaumont, Ca. Adam has 3 Sx tracks in his backyard that he lease’s to many of today top pro’s in the Sx series. Vernon is a mad man with the right equipment, he rebuilt the back track in only a few days. Also we built a sweet 6 pack of double for bikes that were really fun to ride.

A day at the Hills

It has been raining none stop over here in california, which means no SX tracks or BMX trails are ridable. So Vernon and I meet up with Adam Chatfield and friends for a day at the hills in Beaumont, california moto style. The rain made the dirt perfect, and pro rider Josh Grant came out with a bobcat to dial in some lips. Due to the poor weather I had no video or still camera but the session was so awesome we came out the next day armed and dangerous and here are the results with good riders and perfect weather……VIDEO COMING SOON!
