Eugene, Oregon has always had a thriving BMX scene, and moving here to go to school at the University of Oregon ended up shaping my future as a rider of bicycles. The BMX track at Autzen Stadium was the center of much of the scene then, (and probably still is) and the place where budding freestylers learned […]
A backyard with a view
Last Friday night was a good one. Riding bikes with some cool dudes in one of the sweetest, most photogenic pump track backyards to date will do it. This backyard with its mounds of carefully shaped soil in the shadow of Mount Diablo ranks up there on the wish list of any mountain biker. (although […]
