Colorado has some crazy weather! We woke up early yesterday morning to the most intense thunder we have ever heard, then followed by a heavy downpour. Jack and I thought there was no chance of riding, but shortly after the rain started it came to a stop. We got ready and went to athlete registration and media sign in to get registered for the event. From there we went to check out the dual slalom practice, and get ready for the slopestyle practice!

The LoST Trailz

Published Dec 12, 2008 at 10:12
The LoST Trailz, located in Cobs backyard, are brand new hand built dirt jumps. These jumps were built over the last month and are coming along quite well. Cob and friends work and ride out there daily. Still many plans for the LoST Trailz including a step on/off box onto the barn and a huge double after the drop off the barn.(barn seen in pics and video. very cool stuff) After all that there will still be much more space to continue building.

Cob wants to have a Christmas Jam! A lot of local dirt jumpers killing the new jumps with lights set up on all the jumps and riding into the night. We will have pics and footy from that, so stay tuned. Meanwhile check out the LoST Trailz in action.

Coming to Aptos, California is every dirt jumper's dream. Aptos is the home of many professional bikers such as, Cam McCaul, Greg Watts, Jamie Goldmen, Alex Reveles, Ryan Howard, and many more to come. The most recognized spot in Aptos is the Post Office. The Post Office has been getting some serious upgrades lately, thanks to Jamie Goldmen, Alex Reveles, Ryan Howard, and many other local jumpers in the off season. Many hours go into digging at the Post Office and it shows because the park is phenomenal.
