There is a new park in the north end. It’s a small park, but super fun, lots of tricky lines and was fun to watch a few people shred. What’s cool about this park is that there are actually three places to ride in the entire park. A small bowl, some ledges in the center of the park and then in another corner, a wide quarter that would be fun to session. All within a couple of hundred yards. Super stoked to see Tacoma bangin’ out these smaller parks all over the place. There is another small park in Browns Point, but it was soaking wet since it has that fancy smooth cement. I’ll give twenty bucks to anyone who does the bowl gap there, I have to be there though.
Anyways, here are some photos. Fun ass time, even though it was sprinkling and can’t wait to do this again. Hit more for a quick video I shot on the new iPhone.
Another Ortiz edit, fuck yeah! The 180 railhop in Tacoma is nuts, watching fat mike straight hop it a few years ago was insane enough. I think Davey may have 180′d it, but I can’t remember which video. Anyways, some sick lines at sumner, some fish hatchery and other places. Couple other Ortiz edits after the break…
Figured I’d post this. Pretty small park, basically one at a time. No idea if they’re expanding or not, I’d hope so, maybe even a couple ledges on the edge of the park. Tranny is only about four feet tall, but could be fun as fuck on an early morning. 23rd and Orchard, behind the community garden, just look for the construction going on behind the school. No idea on bikes being allowed or not as there wasn’t a sign to be seen, but if there are skaters chilling, probably just a waste of time, who knows…
A little 56 action
It’s been a minute. Sorry. I’m old as fuck, 6 year olds are better than me and I got a mortgage to pay. I took a picture of Chad tonight. What a nice guy. Go ride your fucking bike….

Went up to Seattle this morning to shoot some pictures for a family friends, graduation type thing. Did that and ended up at Revolution Cycle near Northgate. Nice little shop. Met up with Fat, Jack and this kid Zane. No one could figure out where to go, so I follow them and we stop at this school. Zane calls out this roof gap and before I can even get out of the car he’s asking for his bike. I saw this kid riding his bike yesterday at Fenwick without a chain and didn’t think he was trying to fire out big roof gaps the following day. Anyways, here are a couple shots. The first shot he didn’t ride away, his second attempt they were yelling at him to stop because a car was coming and he went anyways. Third try he rode away and into a fence. Later on I met up with GJ, we found this little bank to wall. He never got in any good shots because some concerned citizen didn’t think we were up to any good…
Fenwick jam was fun. Nothing like the “old days” but a good time and a few scrappy kids with egos. Here are a few pics, enjoy, go ride, party on…
