"Just doin what I do" lifestyles of the poor and haggard

So life for me is hektic for a few reasons, and this is not a sob post about why people should give a crap, because frankly, there are people that do wayy more than me. Anyways, school all week, 3 studio art classes art 117 art 118 art 120, spanish 201 and another weird PSU required corse. Fortunately all these classes are rad as hell so its all gravy. I ride bmx and like to shred jumps in the woods. Me and my buddys have been doing this for years some more than others. I have met people from around the country, and around the world. All because we share a common interest, and love. (Riding bikes is about 95% of the reason i ended up in Oregon) We build these elaborate set ups in the woods. Jumps! Tons of them, thousands of man hours go into these spots, and usually get plowed. Some stay for years and years, some are world renowned some suck. But as far as trails go the east coast where i grew up till i was 18 and the northwest is the spots to be!. Its our zen and no one gets it. We dont really go to the skate park often, all though thats fun, we rather be in the woods with a bmx bike, a six pack and some shovels compiling this massive dirt jumps just so we can ride for the few months it doesn't suck out. Here are a few shots of my local trails back in NY, and the jumps here in good ol' Oregon..... and keep posted to see video sales and shit for the people who dedicate their free time to building jumps, and just being underground. We dont do it for the money, all though some do have some big sponsors which is rad. We just Dig and ride jumps for the pure love. To feel that weightless moment in the air, where ur flying 20 or 30 feet far and 15 feet in the air is like nothing else in the world. Along with this come injury and sometimes, unfortunately worse. Ive seen the biggest names be crumbled to nothing all because of one crash, but u know what, if those dudes could get back on a bike, they wouldnt think for a second about passing up the offer. We sighed up for it, so until that day comes keep doing what your doing and lovin it. So what im really getting at is we are sculptors of dirt and masters at fun haha. that was lame. But really we just are doing what were doing. and lovin every minute of it. so my point is, when im not bustin my ass during the week, you can catche me dippin into the woods, livin the life, and riding some bikes.
