Welcome to Ohio, John.	+ Over the 4th of July weekend a group of us spent some time at Troy's family's lake cottage in Indiana. A fair amount of lake jumping and fireworks went down.

+ As many of you have probably heard, Woodville Skatepark will be closing soon. Thursday the 8th will be the last day unless someone buys it. Is there a prospective buyer? I have no idea, but I hope so. Troy and I are driving up to Woodville on Tuesday. I'm not sure what session we're riding yet, but we'll be riding there and probably some other spots around Toledo. + SeditionDesign.com is up and running. Updates are being made often so drop by and see what Jarrett Ward and the Sedition crew have goin' on. + I got a new bike! I'm riding a red Series One now. A big thanks to Robbie Morales and everyone at Fit for being so rad. more... + Nathan Powell is having a jam on the 9th. Contact him on AIM for more info, his s/n= ugpnsp184. + My house was struck by lightning a couple weeks ago, and I've been without the internet since. So I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I have changed the layout of the photo gallery, though. Hopefully it loads faster for you. I have a bunch of pictures to upload yet and will have a bike check of Troy's "Evel Knievel Lake Jumper" soon. But for now I'm headin' out and gonna do some lake jumpin. Happy 4th. -Bud	[video] Bud Dickman on his new Fit.(444kb) Sage Youngblutt skatin' the VW fullpipe as Auston, Troy, Jim, Steve, and Booker look on.
