OCTOBER NEWS

Man!  Time flys the older you get.  I always heard comments like that from “old” people when I was growing up, and now I’m the one saying the same things.  October was AWESOME!  The Bucknutty Jam was SO MUCH FUN!  Watching everyone ride was cool.  Especially all of you locals.  I see you guys riding all the time, but I rarely get to see everyone put their skills together in a run.  For those of you who don’t know Andy Chapmen, he was announcing at the jam.  He is the O-ffical RR announcer, DJ, hypeman, king of awesomeness.  There was so much insanity going on I’ll just give you a few highlights.  Kyle Stegman boosting, Tyler Pikul flowing from one section of the park to the next with transfers, Zach Zueschel trickin’ and flowing,  Jeff Dickinson flipped from the hip to the box landing going into the vertwall, Adam Guilliams’ tuck-no-hander 360 over the big box, John Rodgers’ front flipped the box into the vertwall, Jake Wheeler wall rode and fakied a pole out of the 4 foot quarter in the street section, Joe West tailwhip-fufanued the massive wedge hip, Craig Schrock’s enthusiasm, Andy Seehausen abubacaed the handrail on the 6 foot for best trick; I could keep going and going.  If anyone has pictures of the contest PLEASE send them to me, and I’ll post them on the site.  I forgot my damn camera the day of the contest.

There are three things guaranteed to happen at an All Nighter:

No. 1 – FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

No. 2 – Red Bull will give you so much to drink, that your blood will turn INTO Red Bull, and you will shred uncontrolably until you spontaneously combust.

No. 3 – You will eat too many hotdogs and regret the smells that come from your body the next day.

Brandon ? walked away with a new RR deck for winning the game of S.K.A.T.E.  Brian Zeuschel changed his middle name to “All Nighter,”  because they FREAKING ROCK!!!!

Well….it doesn’t look like we will be done with the park by Thanksgiving.  I’m getting tired of the way my foot tastes.  I’m way too optimistic.  The change is slowly happening though, isn’t it.  Maybe January?  We just finished the new micro mini.  Check it out in the “New Ramps” pictures to the right.
