TGIF....

Well it was a long work day leading to something I have been anticipating for the last few weeks. Vince Krusher was going to meet up with Fudger to shoot a sequence 360ing the big pyramid at Civic. This Pyramid is big enough that I have repeatedly seen person after person launch themselves superman to death landing trying to just clear it strait.

A few weeks ago Vince gave it a go but he couldn't go fast enough. It is insane watching someone pedal as fast as they possibly can and then cranking a big 360. This pyramid is pure bunnyhop too. The cobble stones and the mellow bank really don't work to throw you in the air, it all has to be done with the hop. That first day Vince came close, but it didn't pan out.

So here we are, Friday 6:30pm and the caeras are firing. Vince has a bigger gearing this time, so speed should not be a problem. On one attempt he was mere inches from being done with this stunt. Next thing we here that damn loud cherp noise that a police car makes. I turn around to see a cop signaling out his window for us to leave. We decide to stick around and see if Vince can do this.

Next thing we know the cap is driving up the sidewalk with his lights on. Most people headed off the opposite way and headed home. the other half of s casually went up to the cop car and this dude was pissed. He cussing, fuck this, fuck that, I really wasn't listening. He told us that he didn't apprecate us leaning on the fallen officer memorial, we were actually gathered around the thing ans some of us were leaning on the guard rail, but we weren't disgracing the thing as he so elequently said we were doing. Dude was a dick, he tried to diss us for being old and riding bikes, he had no real argument. AP got called out to pull up his pants with the threat of an indecent exposure ticket. We just left.

So Vince didn't get to clean the 3, i guess we will have to go back again another day.
