Eugene Dirty Day Trip

Half way across the country people were bitching and moaning about who got what place at the Dew Tour. But the reality is, that’s a small part of what happens in BMX freestyle. A very small part. A bunch of us headed down to Eugene from Portland yesterday for a backyard dirt jumping jam at Frank’s place. No credentials needed. No massive energy drink logos. No ticket sales. No judging. Just a large gathering of people having fun. Frank’s got some amazing jumps in his yard, as well as a cool mini-ramp inside a barn, located way out past the land of cell phone service. On the way down we hit up a relatively new concrete skatepark in Harrisburg, OR, which was awesome, although the new concrete was incredibly slippery. After a couple hours of concrete we headed 10 more miles to Frank’s house, for a day in the dirt. That’s Justin Inman above. Check out the photos from the day after the jump.
