Last Day In Texas


Forrest Berkey Carport Drop In



One of Austin's 500 ditches.

Big thanks to Forrest Berkey who let me stay at his place,
took all of these photos, and drove me around. This is my
first visit to the Longhorn state and it has been an eye opener.
It feels a lot like Seattle or Portland but without the hills.
I think someone who rode bikes was on the cities design
committee because everything down here is built to shred.
We would pass 20 amazing setups on the way to the store.
(20 might be an understatement) I also got to attend two video
premiers. First, Fully Cocked at Shakespeare's pub/bar, a
local Austin Video with Forrest Berkey, Chris Kowaleski,
Jesse Hilliard, Cody Smiglewski, Jon Chayse, Gresarette,
Reed Stark, Seth Peterson, Clint Zabodyn, Devon Lampman,
Evan Paul, Mark Kusick, and Kyle Stark a different style
video with a mix of all these guys shredding together. I am
pretty sure Clint is responsible for most of the filming, and
all of the editing. Great video you can find it at Goods in Portland.
Second, Anthem 2 at T-1, this video rocks and rolls. Even better
than that is all of the guys in the video are cool dudes outside
of riding. Burns has the closing section in this and it fucking rules!
Another shout out to the Eastide locals Mark, D, and Hunter,
thanks for letting me ride the trails. One of the highlights for sure.
