Check my Dew Day 1.....

Let me start off by saying, Portland has got to have one of the greatest scenes anywhere. This is something that I have always believed. I am not talking about bike riding or skateboarding though. I am talking about the people that live here. They are the scene. The crowed is what I am talking about. Last nights crowed and group of riders showed me something I did not think still existed. They showed me support, respect, and admiration. I don't know if it was the feeling on the deck, the look in the riders eyes before and during a run, or the amount or hyping up everyone did for each other, but it was contagious.

You know, I actually saw Jay Miron smiling before, durring and after his runs. That was great. He even told us, "This is one of the greatest vert contests ever. It has been a long time since it was this fun. Look at the entire crowed, they are on their feet. I haven't had this much fun at a contest in a while." That was one of the greatest thing I have ever heard. Jay was right. This was an amazing and special thing.

I am nor sure of all the finishings. I do believe that Jamie Bestwick took it all again. I do believe that watching him in person was one of the most.... it was just the most. So high, so smoothe, so fast. "No one has ever done a burn out in the flat bottom pumping."-Jay Miron I saw a flair whip in person, I saw Jamie's lazer coping seeking eyes, and I was surrounded by friends the entire time. Last night was a great night for myself, bmx and most of all, the city of PDX. Only three more days to go.

Did you go to Metro Jam last year? Well if you did, you saw Morgan Wades sweet tatoos. Oh yes they were all fake and if you would likehelp out Morgan, he is trying to complete both arms and then some for this year. Any where you go and you see fake tattoos, get them and drop them off at GOODS. Morgan has a great start, but he needs our help. I figure he always puts on a great show for us, the least we can do is help aa brother out with some tats.-ben
