Night ride...bikes on dirt

yeah, i know, bad picture. that's jupiter below the moon last night. i've been thinking how fun riding at night in the fall is. some of it has to be the sun going down early and it's dark when there is time during the work day to ride. the other part is the weeds and bugs are less of a bother. regardless its fun...again.

Get There While You Can.

I moved to Louisville, KY a little over 7 years ago. I would say that I found this ditch within the first month or two of me living here and have been waiting for it to be dry since. It's got everything you'd want in a ditch: smooth ground, perfectly pitched walls with tranny at the bottom, plenty of flat, and amazing hips, gaps, and ledges in it. It's also got this wallride.

When my wife and I bought our house 4 years ago, I was psyched because this ditch was less than a block from it and I knew that I'd get a daily look at whether or not it was dry. It never was.

Until a week and a half ago. I got a call on my way home from work that there were a few guys skating it so I rushed home and grabbed my gear. Cole had been killing it all day and volunteered to jump up and do this axle stall again for a photo. I don't love the photo except for the fact that after waiting for 7 years I finally got to shoot something in this ditch.

Cole Wilson, ollie up to axle smash.
