Here’s a little vid from this year’s Westside Invite Trick Comp.
The Westside Invite has been going down in Portland for the past 8 years, this year it hit Seattle. 8 years straight is a pretty damn good accomplishment if you ask us.
This year it took place over May 25th through 26th with with events like Goldsprints, Alleycats, Footdown, Bike Polo, and trick comps. We found the above video over at the Zlog Blog. It’s a nice little cut down of some of the highlights from the trick comp. I think we have a little fondness for the Keo Jumps!
As per my usual morning routine of taking the shame-train in to work, making an espresso with 4 sugar packets, eating saliva with a side of Tylenol for breakfast, and then finally sitting down to peruse whatever there might be over at Trackosaurus Rex, I was puzzled to find there are now two new books competing for the ever elusive title of “most credible thing on the streets.” You know, this subculture really does care about who has paid their dues, and who has not — who is an outsider looking in, and who happened to be in from the beginning. It makes for a nasty mess of in-fighting and back-biting, to be quite honest.
