Fun Spot

I wanted to go ride somewhere cool on my day off so I headed over to Santa Cruz. It seems like I haven't been doing anything on my days off. I got there at noon and drove by the Fun Spot and there was NO ONE there! So I altered my plans a bit and went there first. I went to lift my bike out of my truck and ugg there goes my back. damn. same thing as last week at work. By the time I got there there was some other kid there. I put on my full face even though it was really hot there. I did the two box jumps and they are so fun. Incredibly fun. After awhile I called my brother and left a message and then put on all my pads. It was so hot but I was safer now. I pretty much just did the two box jumps hit the berm and sometimes do a little jump and sometimes do another little jump and go back to the top of the roll in. Did I say it was hot? Totally sweating. I drank a bunch of water. My brother showed up and we hung out for a bit and then he had to go back to work. I jumped some more and then i was so parched I headed over to the taco place to get a soda. I was sweating so much waiting in line to get my 7up. It was so delicious. It made me feel instantly better. That and I took off all my pads and shirt and sat in the shade of one of the ramps. I was tired but I put on my pads and rode a bunch more. I rode about 9 miles in the park. I did some whips and stuff and one handers. I even tried a couple times to get my left off. I will have to try that some more next time I go. There was a kid on a scooter and he was really good. doing the jumps and wall ride and doing 360s. it was pretty cool. After that I putt putted down the boardwalk area and then back to my truck over at Steamer Lane.

Really nice time today other than my back. Really nice. i am happy.
