This year was no different as Justin Leov and Cam Cole put on a show for the spectators.

 KURTSUCKS....you are retarded. thats only the bay area where i live but the riding is still prime as hell. rainy season means better riding than summer. summer riding sucks compared to winter riding. its too damn hot anywhere else and dry. i'd way rather ride tacky wet dirt all day, than being sweaty and hot and dust everywhere. if you dont agree, you must be incased in snow and rain all the time, and i feel bad. but never hate on Cali for riding even for part of the year, especially when you live here.
