Fisher's Playground

I love going out to Fisher's house! It is so sick out there. On Saturday there was three inches of snow still melting away out there, so we hit the shack track and found some really moist west mesa sand. Davis and Wagon have been out there working on a great GP track and after just a few laps the berms and ruts got built up and we were dragging bars through the turns. Well they were dragging the bars, I was just trying to stay in the berms. There were some jumps built up over the road, and since we didn't have a shovel, we did a lot of kicking dirt with a boot or digging with a rotting 2x4 with rusty nails to get the take offs groomed enough to hit them. But once that was done, Cartelli and Shaffer began throwing some big whips up and over the vehicles. Check out the pictures in the blog below this one. I had a few of the whips, but forgot to downsize them for the web so they were taking forever to load and I got impatient and started doing something else.

Speaking of being impatient, the next morning we get to Fishers Magical Playland and I am just can't wait to start riding. You could tell it was going to be a bit muddy for a while, but after a few laps it turned to a piece of sweet Georgia pie, or something like that. I was probably ready a good 15 minutes before everyone else and headed out into the mud. I almost went down a few times, but got a few lines going. I only jumped a few of the obstacles and then pulled off to catch my breath. About that time Wagon heads out and was on the gas from the start. He was flying through the slick spots like they were offering up full traction. He has a killer style over the jumps as well, he gets just about halfway across and jams the back brake, pitches it to the angle of the landing and flies like that the rest of the way, it looks cool.

Speaking of looking cool, Shaffer started whipping it over the last really big double and each lap he seemed to get it just a little bit flatter. Then, while we were all hanging out at the trucks, Shaffer was still out there getting in a few last laps and he laid one over that was totally flat and kicked way, it looked like a pro whip for sure.

That dude in the red and black Fly gear on my bike, well that is Gabe. Gabe hasn't been riding a lot lately, in fact he doesn't even have a bike. But it didn't take him long to get it back, he was flying out there. He gets married in about two weeks, we better make sure he gets a bike before then!!
