Kona.

Amateuthour went to Florida to escape the freeze and get some new year bike riding done. We've never been much on media and filming when it comes to trips, one because most of us don't really give a shit if somethings filmed or not, and two, because we come on these trips to ride, ride a lot. When you drive 9 hours the last thing you want to do is spend time setting up shots and filming.
       Lots of riding happened, day one consisted of the Ormond beach and Daytona beach parks. No pics, not a damn one..... maybe its the change in altitude, but none of us could pull a thing Saturday. Who cares? We had an Oceanside room and an empty bar at the end of the night, complete with a soft tile floor bed for some of us. But you don't go on these trips for comfort, you know the drill.
    Sunday was Kona day, and what a day it was. 70 degrees, Hungry Howies pizza, and an empty snake run is all you need to forget about the tile bed, the cramped 600 mile drive....it all goes away as soon as you hit the first berm. I did take time to shoot some pics this day. You're welcome
    Monday was another sick park and a midday gorilla run through the streets of Jacksonville. Security got the best of us on most of the spots, but who cares. You don't come on these trips to "clock footage" if you do then I feel sad for you. Getting kicked out is part of the life, and it led to many funny encounters with J-villes best wackos roaming the streets.  Good times were had, maybe next time this slack bmx blog will bring along a fake media guy and things will get shot.....but I doubt it.

Mike Paton switch can feeble. Switch can feeble? I don't know what to call this
