+ The Season Bike Co. video is up! This is a little project we filmed over the span of a couple days time. Thanks to Tony Cherry for helpin' me film it and everyone on the Season team for helpin' out. Music by The Fight Within and Sage Francis. DOWNLOAD THE SEASON BIO VIDEO HERE + Speaking of Season, check out the photos Troy took on their trip to NYC for the Brooklyn Banks Jam. And in other Season news, I've been helping out with their long awaited team video and it's nearing completion. There will be a premiere party for it sometime in first part of September. Be on the look out for that. Oh yeah, none the footage used in the bio video up above will be used in the full length video. They've got some nutty stuff goin' on. NYC TRIP PHOTOS + Here are a few pictures from The Fight Within's CD Release Show the other night. 1 2 3 4 5 6 + Taylor didn't have a front wheel the other day, so he made due with what was available so he could go out and ride. Here are a couple photos from a couple days ago. 1 2 3 + I've had a great time living with Troy here in Dayton for the past few months, but it's time to go back to school. Tonight I will be moving out of Dayton, and by Sunday I'll be moved into the new place in Toledo. Unfortunately, we won't get our internet hooked up at the new place until sometime around September 7th. So that means no updates for a couple of weeks or so.

Keep your eye on myspace for info and random news or updates about the Season video premiere and other happenings. I'll be checking that and my mail from school and friends houses.

If you know of any parks that I don't have listed in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, or Wisconsin, email them to me. And keep checking it every so often b/c I'll be adding more parks and photos of them as I get them. Thanks to everyone who has submitted parks and photos so far.
