EMPIRE BMX IN COLORADO.

empire bmx, colorado, chase hawk, defgrip

A few years back, Chase and I drove home to Austin from Salt Lake City. We had hopes and dreams of taking a few days to ride some of the Colorado gems. But unfortunately for us, it rained the entire time. Not the case on this trip, we hit the perfect window of weather. This was the last day of the trip and the only time when weather became an issue. It got cold real quick. As the temperatures dropped, Chase decided to go up. That is one direction that kid has figured out.

    Ha ha, sadly enough for me, you are right, I do need to clean my sensor ! ( insert feeling a bit embarrassed ) Oh well, next time I’ll make sure I do that. Or at least spend the extra time in Photoshop. Cheers !

    Has it been that long since nowhere fast? Is Perrick really the first BMX senior citizen?

    I’m pretty sure Scot Breithaupt and Bob Haro didn’t stop aging in the 70s.

    Denver is the only place I’ve lived were you can drive ten minutes to one of 20+ parks, ride, and then hit up the next one ten minutes away. Thanks to the state lottery all the money goes to parks and recreation.

    Great photos, but your camera desperately needs a sensor cleaning.

    We drove from PA to CO the last two years now. The first year gas prices were at $4+ a gallon. Everything about CO is Epic, the land, the parks and the do-something-outdoors lifestyle. I very much plan on going back there much more no matter what the gas prices are.
    Great pics, can’t wait to see the movie.

    Wow,

    looks like a realy nice spot and a great scenery for a BMX ride. At these times it’s just cold and snowy here in Berlin. So I have to watch pics about BMX in the web.
