After a grueling week on the east for a little contest extravaganza we made it back home to Salt Lake for almost 24 hours. Instead of taking it easy Mark Dangler and I grabbed a few of our friends to pile in the RV and charge through the night. Our main reason was to check out the Ashbury demo, but you don't have to twist my arm too much to make one more trip to Big Bear before they come to a close. The sun was burning bright both days bringing out some springtime slush, along with hot chicks in some small attire really flaunting it. So we had that going for us too. The whole Ashbury team seemed to be putting on a demo on the entire mountain the whole day. Bringing some of the best new rail kids to Bear's full mountain playground. Which also maintained by the hardest working park staff I've ever seen. Sunday after a nonstop day riding till close we decided instead of driving back to Utah we would make out way to Oceanside. That way we could get at least one solid night of partying in. So we stayed with Cole Barash and Eric's pad to put down a handle of shitty rum and some adult sodas on the beach. The next morning we took off making our way back to Salt Lake with a real good hangover. As we were heading out the California Highway Patrol decided we needed to have the dogs come in and search the RV on the side of a busy highway for an hour. Only to find nothing, but made another crazy part of the trip. Thank you RIO for hooking us up at Bear, and Cole and Eric for showing us a good time at the beach.
