Title: OS reunion Woodward West, more pics*
Post by: andy619 on March 23, 2009, 09:44 PM
What an unbelievable weekend!  I picked up Tony Murry at 7:30 am and headed North to Eddie Fiolas house.  Eddie was kind enough to give us a tour of his crib, the house was very nice but his garage, holy crap!  I wish I would have taken some pics of his garage, there must have been 8 dirt bikes, a couple trials bikes, a couple street bikes, about 8 old school bikes, two quads, mini quads, filings cabinets full of magazines and boxes full of OS stuff.  After the tour we headed for Woodward.  We checked in, got our rooms and wrist bands then drove down to the park. 

On Friday I did not take a single picture or video, I was all about the riding.  My son and I rode from 2pm until 9pm with one break for dinner at 5pm.  We ate dinner with Dave Nourie and his son, Tony and Eddie showed up about 10 minutes later and sat at the table next to us.  After the Friday session I hung out with Hugo and Oscar Gonzales at the fire pit when Simon and Zack came downstairs to join the group.  We went to the bar at about 11pm and there were probably 60-70 tuned riders talking and having a good old time.  Hang-over the next morning.

We had breakfast the next morning with Gayle Web, Tony M, Eddie F, Oscar and Hugo G, and Todd A and his family.  The vert session was off the hook!  Lee, Simon, Zack, Kevin R, Wilkerson, Jay E, Gary L and Yellow were tearing it up.  I didn't ride that session but I did take some video and snapped about 40 pics.  I spent most of Saturday trying to balance riding with watching and filming my son and also filming the the vert sessions.  I took over 140 pictures and about 45 minutes of video but not much variety, my son, vert sessions and a few celebrity pics, none of me.

Sunday snowed like crazy and I decided not to ride, we left town just before they closed the highways, I have no idea who did ride on Sunday or how the session went.

Here are some pictures, the video may take a little while longer to post.

When Dave and Yellow had the flatland jam going I thought to myself, all we need now is some music from the movie RAD.  Then Greyboy put on the Send Me An Angel song and the crowd went nuts LOL.

That is it for now, video soon.  Hopefully I can figure that out.

 those photos are great. I tried to ride that ramp, and even although i'm totally shit on a bike, I realise riding vert is a completely different sport to what i do. I occasionally managed to get my back wheel about a foot from the coping  ( under obviously). Those ramps are huge. Ive upmost respect for any rider who can get air out of them. Several feet out is just remarkable in my opinion. It really is big boys stuff, but I'm going to try my best on the vert at our skatepark this year.
