Brad went on a quick road trip the beginning of last week. We had a project finish up at work that needed to be in North Carolina on Monday morning. Friday afternoon we could not find a trucking company that could get it there with out charging an arm and a leg or garanteeing it would be there Monday. He left around 8:00 Sunday night after a good trails session with the Cleveland guys and drove throught the night to get it there before 7:00 Monday morning.
Monday morning he made it back to Richmond Virgina and found a hotel to crash at to get caught up on sleep. Tueday he got some directions to some local trails from some guys that came to the trails earlier in the year. No name for what they were called, but there was a good variety of stuff to ride. With the 100+ degree summer weather there, the trails had seen better days. We are guessing it is the off-season and they are jamming in the fall, spring and maybe the winter. Brad took alot of cool pics and they definately had some cool and unique lines. Hopefully we can make it down once snow flies here.
Tuedays evening he made it back into PA and went to York to check out the concrete park there. I have been wanting to go there since it was built, because concrete is the next best thing to trails. I love the feeling of coming up with lines for the first time and dialing them in. It was what we were hoping for and can't wait to get the crew down that way. The park is exactly what the city of Warren should have built, instead of the piece of crap pre-fab cement park that they paid good money for that fell apart with in 2 weeks. Street stuff for the skaters and flowing transitions for the bikers. Everyones happy then. Brad got some riding in and a couple of hell yeahs from some locals on some lines he was doing. There was also some dirt jumps right next to the park also. Pretty dry, but Brad took a couple of trips thru the 2 lines.

He made it back to work Wednesday and had some good stories and pictures to share. Nothing like going on a road trip and having work pay for it.
