This has been going on every year since the Forest Grove Park was completed, but this is the 4th Annual Version of the Coming Home Jam that I have had a flier for it. Come out and have fun.
There are 5 Classic Events:
1. Rail Jam: Best trick on the rail, real straight forward.
2. Skid Contest: Pedal hard, Pedal fast, lock that tire up and let er rip!
3. Best Trick on/over the Large Volcano: Simple as that. Do it, do it.
4. Long Jump Contest: Go fast and launch out the huge wedge!
5. Best Trick to Flat: Got a sick trick? Let's see you do it to flat!

Rode this for a bit today. Dialed in the bike and it was just dry enough to "shred."
Zoom in of the TV conference call and Nuno with a giant sandwich.
Had JC's car for the evening since I had to pick him up from the airport. Snuck in a quick session at Mable Davis.
I also hit Walmart to stock up the house with necessities.
All of us from the office went with Taj to meet up with some friends at Frank for lunch. It is a hotdog joint. I did a comparison of a full veggie chili dog to a regular. The veggie version was good, but the regular was still a bit better.
Roscoe napping at my feet.
Quick visit to Mellow Johnnies today. This LiveStrong belt drive was pretty awesome.
Aaron hanging out for a bit.
It has been so could out here and this is what I have been wearing in order to take advantage of the dry nights at the skatepark. Bionic and shit.
Party platter.
The @ girls. Witnessing their twitter show in person was almost too much.
Levi, Tommy Dugan and others fingers.
Conference room is pretty much dialed in now.
A big weiner just drove by the OTX office.
Matt stopped by the office.
Ready to ride.
Wet ride to work has been the norm lately.

West Coast Night out.
Can't forget the J's.
Tunes on my ride into downtown. Kareem was feelin' the kit.
This is my new favorite spot. Barbarella's, I call it Dancerella's. I went off, at least that is what I was told.
This dude got looser than I did apparently.
I was blessed with a new Empire beanie today as well. This capped off the West Coast Kit.
Absolutely beautiful Sunday here in Austin. Capped out at almost 80. This was taken at T1. I didn't even ride my BMX. I just set out on the Ruckus and made a day of it.
Absolutely beautiful Sunday here in Austin. Capped out at almost 80. My only real mission for the day was the find Sunday's and the East Side Trails to check them out. I couldn't have picked a better day to show up. The locals were going off. I just sat and watched the awesomeness. Later I helped get the fire going for an end of the day BBQ Grill sesh. Couldn't have asked for a better Sunday.
Yesterday was amazing, today it's snowing. Taj on our way back from the store going into the office.
I pulled up all the shades. The snow was such a distraction.
Austin Snow Storm!

Had to run up to the office today to give Jake Seeley a frame. I hit up the grocery store for some food and saw the above car. It was Super Badass. The grocery store was nuts. So many people not feeling like cooking for the big game I guess. I headed back to the office, ate my foodies, worked on my bike, and watched Pelham 123. Somewhere in there Jake stopped through and I headed home to get Super, but not before shredding the garbage on the side of the house for till I did some real small no speed transfer and endo landed through it. Close call, time to call it.
I spent most of the Super Bowl not hating on it, twittering all things super and eating some Super Pizza. All in all a dialed day. Well not when I tried to go ride later, it was misting out, so I just went on a fun Ruckus ride.

Slept in this morning, felt good. I headed to the office around 1 to get started on the cabinet strip and repaint. After a quick talk with JC in Buffalo, I borrowed his car to hit up Home Depot. Quick back story.
Before Bauer left he started working on painting the OTX logo on some new cabinets we had for the Shelves in our office. The X was the last item left to do and he had run out of paint. We we grabbed more paint and he went to spray the final cabinets, the original layer or pain bubbled up. He stopped before this happened to tall of them. He took off and a few days later I warmed the cabinets with a heater, brought the temp of the paint up and tried to finish the job, same issue. I hate spray paint when it doesn't work correctly.
So today's mission is to strip all the cabinets back to fresh and start over. I grabbed some Citrus Stripper hoping that would be the nicest on the original finish. I tried it on a test piece and all seemed good to go, so I started. It took a bit to get the cabinets all stripped but they looked great. I ended up having to retape the logo outlines and copied Jims as close as possible.
I held my breath as I started the repainting process. I used a test piece and all went smooth. A few hours after I started the repainting process I had the freshly painted cabinets screwed into place and and knobs added. Stoked!
I also worked on the Ruckus in the waiting times between all the steps. I made me a bracket to mount my Speedo Straight on top of my Elementary Stem and did some other fine tuning. Pretty productive day and I rewarded myself with the UFC fight on Pay-Per-View. Pretty decent night of fights as well.

Good and very productive day today, well till I had to take off around 5:30pm to go to what I thought was Traffic Court. When I arrived I get through security, take my number and wait a short bit. While waiting I snuck this quick above photo of a 3 seat Eames Aluminum Arm Shell Tandem Seat. The office was full of these sets in several arrangements. Pretty dope.
My number was called in no time flat and I went to the window. It was here where I either admitted guilt and payed my fine of set another date over a month out for court. I really wanted to fight my ticket, which was for Disregarding the Barriers near 6th street on my Ruckus. I was over it so I just payed. Luckily I was almost in and out. I hit up Empire on my way home and hung out with the dudes.
I ended up at the office again later in evening to work on sanding down the logo on some cabinet doors. When I went to respray I had the same problem Bauer had with Orange Peel and wrinkles. I called it after that and headed home. Not to bad for a Friday.
