Portland AST demo
I just got back from Portland for the AST dew action sports demo, and what can I say it was a damn good time! It was nice to show up to an event and have some fun riding with my friends instead of feeling like they all hate me. They invited out Beau Bamburg who is a local from the area and a bad ass rider, Robbie Maddison who is the current long distance record holder at almost 400ft, Adam Jones 2007 X games gold medalist, current points leader in the AST tour Blake "Bilko" Williams, and the Metal Mulisha's Derek Garland, as well as myself. I'd like to say that's a pretty good line up for a demo! The day started off a little sketchy when Beau Bamburg's bike cut out at the bottom of the ramp and he was forced to eject and smashed into the back of the landing, luckily he was ok, but he hurt his hand which sucked because he was going to play the National Anthem on the electric guitar to start the show, so I was pretty bummed about that!
Everything else went smooth, they ran some pairs contests where would try to pretend we didn't like each other and we wanted to beat one another really bad and then we ended it with some very unorganized trains haha. Bilko's bike wouldn't clear one of the ramps very good so he was forced to pull off most of the time which messed all of us up and made us basically ride around on the floor looking clueless, and let me tell you I'm a pro when it comes to looking clueless! When all was said and done, I had a blast! We got to sign some autographs for the fans and I even took a picture and signed a autograph for a girl who is a fan of what I do here on YB, so that was killer!! Well this is pretty much my last week at home, I turn the big 27 on Wednesday so that should be interesting. After that it's off to Poland for X fighters, then I'm doing a Golf tournament up in Reno and then the Salt Lake round of the AST dew tour so I got a busy couple weeks coming up!! I'll be sure to keep everyone posted of course!! Take care!!
