My First Outlaw!

On May 29th I joined the Tampa 0utlaw Push Race. The race was going to start at 10pm. It was a fun night and the race was about 6 miles. Not a lot of people showed up. There was about 12 people that joined though. Along the race you had to pick up checkpoints. The first one was a playing card underneath a bridge. The second check point was to locate a building and describe it. The third check point was an interesting one. The last check point was to locate one of the guys throwing the event and pick up this heavy piece of cement. I didn't get first, but I did get third. Also that night I won some gravity high grade wheel 79a 76mm. After the race we all hit up the local Tampa downtown garage. It was a fun and exciting night. Their is no video, but their a picture as soon as I get it ill post it here.

Brooksville, Florida. TLS session

This is by far the best sessions i had, but also a realization. When we got to our first spot I went down a hill had a bit of speed wobble and drifted, so i changed my wheels. While i was doing that one of the guys fell and i his face road rashed. He was in bad shape, but not enough for a hospital run. I give Ian credit cause after a hour he was feeling a bit better and started skating with us a bit. After seen what happen Bobby and I started using our Full Face Helmets. I suggest anyone that is getting into DH to invest in a Full Face Helmet.

My first DH Race

My first race i didn't do so good. I didn't have the spirit in me in this race, but i did learn a lot and had a good time. As you can see in 1:54 on both video that was my heat. Funny how those two video 1:54 was my heat. I should had put on my grippe wheels cause as you can see i went straight to the hay bails.

Here is another video of Tally made by the TLS the crew. The crew i usually skate with the most and yes we did sleep in a car grrrr. Due to the fact that every hotel in Tally was booked.
