Got my pass through April Mays (thanks) and walked over to the Superpark course. Ran into Mike Spinner, Ryan Guettler, and Josh Harrington who were hanging out with Dave Mirra where is Subaru was parked. The car looks like a beast and in practice earlier this week Dave had already crashed a car when he overshot a big jump on his first attempt. 
His team got his car back together (new engine/front end) and he's looking forward to the race which will be interesting indeed to see how he does there. Now the SuperPark is something else. It basically is a concrete skatepark but made out of wood. It's a piece of art, it really is. The riders were testing it out and were looking for lines. Morgan Wade (wearing a fullface) had a bit of a slam but loves the course. We'll see wha
t he comes up with when his group of 5 riders gets the green light to session the course. Daniel Dhers did not seem to have any problems adaption his tricks to the course. You would say that the park is super tight but if you know your tricks, you don't need 30 feet of flatbottom to get ready for the next hit. Bohan looked good too, always smooth and Gary Young is loving it. We noticed that Rob Darden is back on the HARO program and Dave Dillewaard has a taped up wrist that still bothers him. Josh Harrington had to take 4 1/2 months off because of a crash where he hit his head but he's back on the bike and tries to be ready for X as good as he can. 
A walk over to the nearby vert ramp so a huge ramp with some roll ins and stuff. It's placed outside so hopefully it will not be too windy when the riders drop in for that one. It never rains in Southern California we've been told so there's no fear there. We did however experience the 5.8 on the Richter scale earthquake and we're sure that would feel weird going up the wall preparing for your trick. 
Let's just hope for the best. They were lucky this year at the Empire Of Dirt, let's hope there are no problems at the X-Games this year. Big Air is indoors and street is outside. We'll show you some pics of those set-ups later today. BdJ
