August 11th-15th, captions by Troy Merkle

Jon Bechtold, Casey Longshore, Jim Baaske, Ricky Woodruff, Matt Skaggs, Ryan Howard, and myself all piled into the Expedition and headed NYC for Animal's Brooklyn Banks Jam. These are some of the photos week shot throughout the weekend.


Takin' the path to NYC.

Casey toothpick at the China banks.

The Gremlin fakie barspinnin' the ledge.

The Gremlin got down, everyone else sat down.

Friday night we rode the banks for the first time. Jim Baaske ridin' the wall.

Ricky "Freestyle" Woodruff hangover toothpickin' the banks rail.

Myspace photo?

Casey thought Jim was a tease all weekend.

Casey's crooked grind was one of many things done to this rail.

"Yeah, it's an icepick..." -Ryan Howard.

This dude showed up and spout off a bunch of words in Spanish that none of understood. He finally shut up after he got Ricky to do an "over-mexican-over-rail icepick."

The Mexican said lots of stuff we couldn't understand when Ricky landed a smith grind.

Ryan tryin' to show up my double peg grind to no footer.

The boys from Springfield got down on this rail everyway they knew how.

Is this a regular or oppositte crooked grind for Ryan? Nobody ever knows...

Rollercoaster icepick.

On the search for Carson Daly in Times Square.

After a few ginger ales I get flippin' crazy.

Good luck riding anything through this crowd.

Jon icepick stall to fakie on the day of the jam.

Sean Burns 360'n into the stairs. This was before he did one of the craziest gaps I've ever seen.

The only picture of me riding all weekend. Wallride to barchuck.

Sprocket stall on the rail by The Gremlin.

Clipper, no-foot can over the gap.

Clipper's got flips!

Matthew Plassman pulled a big sprocket stall fakie in the rain.

This rail was at a rest stop on our way back home. I'd be stoked just to grind it regular. Ricky steppin' it up.

Thanks Shane and everyone at Animal for showin' us around.
