Sorry, I havent kept up with this at all! I have been super busy..

Lets see, last time I posted was MARCH, it is now OCTOBER..  so uh, 8 months?

A lot has happend over the last year, riding has been real good, I went through a phase where I wasnt feeling riding anymore, ya know that weird.. I dont have an urge to ride and I want to do some other stuff, but that only lasted about two weeks and I came back and I started learning new stuff and doing new things, which is great because I knew when I felt like riding again it would happen. and I am more stoked on riding than I was before that..

Lets see, I got www.freewebs.com/bmxrochester rolling again, that is my website I do for my local scene... 41 videos , tons of news, its real good. go check that out its def. a pretty good thing..

I also started www.bmxunion.com it has taken off pretty well, a lot of people are stoked, I kind of had the idea for the site in my head, then one night I couldnt get it off my mind and just did it, bought the domain and went to work.. I am glad how that is going.. go check it out I think you will like it.

I am also getting involved in other projects, I cant really say what yet. but I am sure you will know as soon as it happens since its involving a very popular website. I will def. make a post when that goes live.

Lets see, School.. I am now in college.. its a different world, I didnt know what to expect when I got into it, but since then I have learned a lot and really learned what I care about and dont really care to know. I will be getting a business administration degree in a few years.. I know I will def. be getting things going for myself once that happens to. I honestly want college to be over so I can have a piece of paper that says what I am capable, ha I am so over the partying thing. It is weird, but that is just what I am feeling. I just want to be able to get deals and stuff going.

I will be throwing a gyro back on my bike here tomorrow I believe since thats when my stuff comes in from www.albes.com ( I support the hell out of those guys thats why I put the link!)..

Umm over the summer I went to a few contests.. I got 3rd in intermediate at baco in wisconsin.. I got like 12th or something at a free flow contest, andddd I did a few other smaller ones where I did alright. I am still riding for maxxis and I think I will be next year, but I havent got that back for sure.. which if not it wont be a big deal.. I am also going to try and get on another team, I dont want to say which one but yeah.. I am stoked on the company and I might as well try right?

SOoooooooooooooooo

that would be it for now I think, just check out

Holy crap dude.

spring is HERE.. riding season has BEGUN.. I am super stoked.. the snow is for the most part gone, give it a few more days and it should be compelely gone, temps in the 40's and 50's and higher from here on out I believe.. I have been doing a lot of riding lately.. you would be proud.. actually you wouldnt because my video camera shit the bed and doesnt want to work.. so I will try and get a new camera and get some stuff together for ya..

 lets see.. ooh so yesterday myself and a few others are at the skatepark just hangin out, we were sitting for a bit taking a break in the corner and this skater whose like 25-30 comes up "get out of the way.. why are you guys here you arent even riding.".. we start to laugh and he keeps complaining about how we "dont deserve to be here." "our mommys bought us these nice bikes we cant even ride.".. and a bunch of random crap.. even told my buddy he was going to fight him. then realized it was 4 of us on him.. so he went to "show us up" and fell over and over again completely sucking.. my brakes slip on a 5 tap and he goes.. "wow cool, you suck".. so finally he keeps it up saying how he can ride our bikes better than us and crap.. and I get a weird look at he goes what? I just say, you know I dont think maxxis would be happy if they sponsored a kid who cant ride at all" .. he looks at me funny, I go and start riding, do a 9 tap, manual around the whole park to 180, grind a bunch of stuff..  do a bunch of lines of tricks.. he gets a real good look of embarassment and shuts up and goes accross the park and avoids us.. he leaves shortly after that.... how awesome is that?

lets see.. st.patricks day... oh god so I was at this party once and this girl basically tried to rape me, she kept giving me drinks and tried to get on me a few different times and she was just nasty.. she shows up at this party im at with her friend whose dating my friend.. im like shit this might be bad.. we start playing the game "I have never..." if you dont know what that is, then your s.o.l.. so were going around the table, I start off with "I have never tried to rape a guy.".. then my buddies catch on and follow with "I have never gotten a guy really drunk so I could fool around with him.." "I have never gotten shot down by a guy who was way too drunk I wanted to rape."... needless to say she had 3 fingers down and was shortly the one to be drinking.. it was great.

 otherwise, basically school is 2 months left and then its summer, going be intense!!

and work is getting better, a new manager, more sales to add to my commission due to warmer weather and actually being able to talk about bike stuff!

thats all, Now I have to go to work

Well kids.. heres the deal! its March 10th.. 30 degrees at 9:14 a.m.. and on the rise..

the snow is going out like a 90% off sale at abercrombie I am stoked. however, it will still be a while before grass starts showing.. We had 2 feet of snow likeeeeee last week and then the week before that.. it was pretty hectic I didnt have school for 2 days.. so I got a 4 day weekend.

then this weekend my schools hockey team made it to state, im sure if your from anywhere but minnesota you dont understand how serious we take hockey.. hockey is like the football of texas.. yeahhh.. but I didnt have school thursday or friday because I went up to the game.. Friday was bomb because we went to the mall of america up in the cities.. it was great imagine this.. 7 hot chicks to ever ugly girl.. and like 8 girls to 1 guy, or me hahha it was great..  plus I got some new etnies and a tight hat....

then after the game we went to hooters.. gotta love that place.. the bathroom is like your going to catch a staff infection or get raped.. then greesy foods and huge boobs everywhere? whats better than that? OHH a cop from my city happend to be there and he was all drunk.. saw our school sweat shirts and stuff and came over and chatted with us..  he as way cool plus i remember him letting me go on a ticket for riding downtown once haha...

but im stoked on this picture I wasnt even suppossed to be on.. i did a little photoshop though..

how rad is that? haha.. hell yeah..

so I think because the streets are dry im going to cruise around once it gets up to the 40's like its suppossed to today.. exciting.. thats about it.. oh and I found out my video camera wanted to start working again so thats good.. expect a video once it gets real dry.

HOLLA

SO! Minnesota waited to dump on us..

last weekend, we got 15 inches of snow.. fricken sweet.

now, were expected to get another foot from tonight until friday.. so I think I wont have school thursday or friday! So that would explain for why I havent rode.. which sucks balls.. but I have a real good feeling htat the warm air will be flyin in the next two weeks and I will start being able to ride outside.. which will be amazing I cant wait!..

thats all I got.. plus I gotta pee

SO! heres the dealio, time is flying.. I am stoked! I rode bike last thursday, and another thursday has come and monday I dont have school so I am going to mankato to ride and get some pictures taken since I have no recent ones and I need some for my independant study photography class..

 but my main point is its been 10 days already since I last posted up a blog, it feels like just yesterday..

 TIME IS FLYINGGGGGGGG SERIOUSLY! im going nuts waiting for warm weather so I can ride like every night or day or whatever I am doing.. I dont know, life is going to be rad once again! haha ..

I have been spending a lot of time with a lot of different ladies since I have a lot of time, and I am not going to lie guys, girls are the most difficult things in the world to work with.. I am not going to lie

but next monday should be a lot of fun to go ride bike and take pictures and stuff.. however its 9 a.m and I only got about 6 hours of sleep last night so I am pretty tired and dont really have much else to say.. I will try and post up the pics I get on monday! =)

Alright .. if you read these 10 awesome points.. haha

SO! what has Kurt been up to.. well, let me tell you.. due to weather being in the negative tempetures lately so much there is NO outside riding of course.. however, I have also been uber busy with a lot of other stuff.. so I havent rode in about 2..3 weeks!?!!?! oh my god.. what is wrong with me? its so pathedic.. I cant wait till spring you dont even know how much riding I will be doing..

so school.. my second semester of my senior year of high school is under way.. fricken SOOOOOOOOO easy.. simple math class, awesome enviromental awareness class where basically we go outside all the time and do fun things....then a gym class and im a teachers aid.. so no homework.. ever? hahah woo! oh and my independant study photography class.. how awesome is that? once its nicer weather I will actually be motivated to get out and take some pictures..

lets see.. work.. so life at the bike shop is not so good.. I hardley work which is fine because its UBER boring when I do work.. then my favorite guy to work with is leaving to go work at the warehouse (the shop I work at has like 13 stores so they are baller).. and then my other manager is trying super hard to find a new job.. leaving me in quite a predicament.. I would have seniority in the shop, so really even with new managers I wouldnt have to listen to them because I have been there longer? but I dont wanna work there if that happens because its just wouldnt be the same thats for sure.. plus its getting really corporate and just not so fun.. so a new job search might be on the prowl soon.. ooh i just remembered i gotta apply at best buy! duh?.. okay so..

tomorrow I am leaving school early to go with 2 of my buddies up to ride a indoor park in mankato.. SO stoked.. I cannot wait.. my bike has been crying to get rode .. I hear it! haha.. then lets see.. oh I come back for some awesome fun.

in my enviromental awareness class we built quin-zhee's... which are basically igloo's just piles of snow instead of blocks and we got a 7 person one.. its HUGE.. so both the classes like .. 65 people? are going to be camping out in our "quin-zhee village" tomorrow night for our assignment. its going to be awesome.. even though its -8 right now at 8:30 at night... and colder tomorrow.. but I guess they are super warm and stuff.. so it will be a good time

hmm.. thats about it.. I am counting the days for HEAT only like a month and a half left till april and springgggg thank GOD!

So its Tuesday morning, finals start today and I dont gotta be at school until 10:15 so I figure, hey I am up, lets throw up a blog. I am real excited for second semester to start up, I got all my approval things for an independant study photography class so that will be a lot of fun. Then I am getting college credit for the graphic design and advertising class I am doing so next year I wont have to take intro to photoshop or something if they take it which I am sure they will. SO!

If you read my blogs you knew I was going up to a contest in Mankato a week ago and a few days already.. So I was really bummed because they said I got 8th out of 9th.. Then they say that outside of the top 3 it was just random prize give out and I didnt really get 8th? I am super confused about that so I dont know. I wish they would have just tallied up the scores but whatever..

Thenn yesterday I get an email from Maxxis saying they picked me to be on there flow team for 07' but it said "pro sponsorship" so I am wondering if that is more than flow or what? I dont know, I just filled out the papers they wanted and sent the in the mail so I guess we will wait and see..

I think it is kind of crazy because I left psykopath and fuel clothing about a month and a half ago? and I didnt think I would ever have hook ups again than this happend so I guess I am doing something right.. Plus I need new tires so thats even better

Lets seee... Oh alright so I looked down at the corner of my screen and it says "14 degrees F" and I remembered I havent had a chance to ride lately because it has snowed quite a bit lately.. Took untilnew years to get some snow, then that melted, then we got more, and then it snowed again, now its suppossed to snow a little bit like every other day.. I guess I am bummed and happy.. Bummed because I cant ride unless I go drive a ways away.. but happy because cold weather without snow sucks more than a vacuume cleaner.. That and its ALMOST february... 28 days.. plus march.. 31 daysish... THEN its warm weather season again.. HELL YES I will finally be able to ride outside again without like 8 layers, a beany, and gloves.. and every pad just to add heat.. haha However I am def. loving knee pads, I didnt ride those until a few months ago and I regret not starting sooner..

 I love this website too.. Its so nice having somewhere to go to check out videos and get the latest news and everything , Yeah bmxonline and bike guide does that to.. but this is a different approach that works good too..

I THINK THATS ABOUT IT... as the movie Dazed and Confused once said "check ya later"

I doubt this is a new idea, but besides just featuring riders on this site, maybe do feature interveiw with one or two a week or something, like the ones that really stand out on here and stuff not just the pros. I feel like a lot of riders who are on here got skills and just need some extra stuff to show who they are..

well well well kids its another blog for this guy!

SO! I am getting pumped, if YOU havent seen the MARK WEBB video you are missing out, I loved it so much I made a bulletin on myspace with a link to the video!! and I just dont do that.

Tomorrow I am really really pumped for, There will be a contest about an hour and a half away from here in Mankato, and they just redid the whole box section with a vert wall and a bunch of other super super good stuff to really be able to flow and pump and such! I am just super happy because the last contest they had was about a week after I seperated my shoulder, and I did ride, and I did get 5th out of like 10? SO now Id really like to get in the top 3? atleast a good start to the 07'?  I guess theres a spox after the box now, this will be super interesting because I have yet to ride a spox but always wanted to.

After you are done reading this blog click on my set up check, I posted a new picture of my FBM stairmaster and all the other goodies of new stuff, I just got some of the new fly brakes (I am in love with perfect brakes!), macneil capital and post, and the new doyle duo grips.. I am really stoked on how my bike is set up now, I miss the gyro but hey it will be back this summer.. I promise kids!

So due to less chances to ride then I would like I have been working out in excess almost.. I got a membership at the local atheletic club and let me tell you, there are some really hot ladies who work out there.. and a few older one =/ im only 18? whats wrong with me! But I have been running about 2 miles a day and doing a little over 400 sit ups, then lifting weights and stuff so thats keeping me active and in better shape then ever.. I think it will help me a lot with this contest tomorrow.. Oh and dont ever ride when you get a seperated shoulder, if you ever plan to lift weights after you thrash your shoulder it will pop and grind.. its a lot of fun!!

 HMM what else what else.. I have an addiction to BMX websites.. Everyday I check here, bmxonline, interbmx, defgrip, and a few other random sites atleast 2 times a day! what is wrong with me? I mean dont get me wrong I love how almost all the sites I go to get updated daily! which kicks ass, but I dont know? maybe I am crazy.

I am writing an article about capital punishment, that is pretty intense I am learning a lot of things I didnt know, such as how in texas they are at 380 kills since 1976 and the next lower is virginia with like 80? thats nuts how much those texans love to punish people haha that is probably the first interesting thing you have read today eh?

alright enough of this torture I am going to go make a pizza while you go check out my new ride!

wow time has been flying.. I am almost done with first semester of my senior year of high school... However I have NO clue what I want to do after this, I mean yeah I am going to college but I havent decided on anything yet... I want to do graphic design, I want to own a business, I want to do about 5 different things.. however they dont make a degree for all the favorite things somone likes to do..  I guess I really just dont know because I want to do something that will still make me happy in 15 years..  Who knows right?

Soo ONTO something a little more worthwhile to you guys.. my new years eve was pretty intense.. my night started at about 6:30 when the party hoping started, along with a snow storm.. I believe myself and all the people I was with went to like 3 or 4 different parties.. then eventually a few people were suppossed to come back to my house and crash and call it a night.. however after the last party people caught wind of me having people over, thinking it was a party.. before I knew it there was 20 people in my house having a good time.. and I am not one to just tell people to go home.. so I just said whatever and let it go, it went till 3:30 in the morning and 8 people were staying over and they didnt want to go to bed, soooo at 8 in the morning everyone finally left, I spent 2 hours cleaning before my mom got home..and then slept for a few hours.. I was in pretty rough shape but oh well it might be the last new years where all my friends are around ya know?

Riding bike.. god I hate myself.. its been about a week, and due to having to work this weekend I dont think I am going to get to go up to mankato and ride all the new ramps!  they look SOO good.. if you live in Minnesota, or one of the boardering states.. go to the park there.. its SO good now.. I really want to ride the new vert wall line with a box and spox in a row... looks so good from the pictures..

 HMM lets see.. yeah I got no way compared to all those sick videos getting posted up for the haro contest, so a vacation to greenville doesnt look to be happening, oh well I didnt really expect to since it was all old clips.. just be ready this spring/early summer, I got a bunch of stuff I want to film planned out and everything... Including my first real handrail down a 12 stair. should be good if all goes to plan!

yeah sitting in school is a lot of fun.. well I am going to go hit up this website to look at jobs and how much they pay and stuff so thanks for reading?

allllllllllllllllllrighty then..  so what have I been up to lately? well a whole lot of nothing excessively crazy. I guess? The other day I snapped my dragonfly cable on my gyro setup.. and figured it was about time after well over a year to go back to straight cable for a while, just try new things ya naw mean? the braking is better but not perfect yet so im kind of disappointed so far.

then yesterday my friends and myself went up to showcase skate park.. about 2 hour drive but worth it of course.. I finally got to ride with Dustin Griesse which is fun because I have talked to him plenty of times over aim, and stuff because I helped test interbmx.com but he is REALLY good, but yeah so..I didnt ride very good, im not surprised at all.. ive sucked it up lately but i had fun jumping into the foam a few times.

so wow.. im really tired from working out today and im too lazy to even type anymore.. haha sorry guys check back soon for the next one

So tonight Bikeguide.org just got a whole lot better! ahhhah I want to cry laughing..

so kids are so confused.. they are all bitter because I was sponsored and they are better than me.. atleast all these kids on bikeguide that hide behind a screen name.. I love it sooo much..

a kid actually said I am the worst representation to bmx since somone else and rick thorne.. I was compared to Rick thorne.. how funny is that? I love it.. LLLLLOVE IT..

I love it.. I dont even feel bad at all.. sorry I dont bunnyhop whip.. I dont rip the cussion off my seat, drill holes in my rims, run everything ti, and cut every mount off my bike to be cool with a thousand kids I will never meet..

people need to get it through there head that BMX isnt about how well you ride.. its about having fun, traveling, meeting new people,  progressing without pressure, doing your own thing and being able to say you are your own person..

not.. spend tons of cash to make sure your bike is the most up to date lightest most trendy bike.. put up the coolest angled photos, make videos where every trick has a tailwhip in it..  and be pro..

 I was sponsored, because a company felt that I had a good attitude towards bmx, knew how to promote stuff, had fun riding, and that im not fake and will not suck somones left nut to get ahead..  I wrote for ride bmx, to promote my scene, I put on contests, so my friends can have fun and get people to come to rochester and ride, I get the guys together every year for a 4th of july demo at the skatepark so that the 2000+ people waiting for the fireworks to start get a glimpse at a sport that isnt on tv all the time, I was the kid who stood up at skate park meetings to make sure that bmx bikes were going to be allowed, I was on the skate park comittee because I wanted to be able to get my friends input on what they wanted into the park.. I  ran a website and made videos and took pictures so that my friends and myself could look back at all the fun we have been having, and so others can see what we are up to..

 RIDING ISNT ABOUT MAKING MONEY.. if you can make the money to ride without a job.. kickass man I am happy for you, if you get flow, rad.. if you can smile everytime you touch your bike, I want to ride with you..

I have met plenty pro's and none of them will say they are in it for the money, sure its there.. but look at all the places they get to travel and experience, all the friends they have made, everyone of those guys had a smile on their face because they were HAPPY.. I think any kid whose only goal is to make money and out do the next guy so they can be the very best needs to be kicked in the balls..

I have been riding for 6 years.. I cant tailwhip, I am not anything special on a bike.. But I know a history behind the riding scene I am in that goes back way more years before I ever rode, I am making an impact on little kids who come into the shop I work in looking to get into bmx and wanting to hear that if they want to do it that there wont be that kid at the skate park bitching "get out of the way".. everyone of the guys I ride with are so postive about riding that anyone is welcome for us.. thats how it should be..

BMX has too many kids with the need to be the coolest guy and not themselves now days.. I thank losey, and the guys at ride bmx, and sheep dog at bikeguide, and flip at albes, jim at odyssey for bringing together riders and promoting bmx and just being somone who knows what riding should be about.

I just posted this big long blog. oh man how amazing it was..

 but since im at school it must have like timed out or something.. I want to cry because it said I had to log back in and it didnt save.. ahhhhh

 whatever I will get back to that some other time

So I am writing this sitting in my newspaper class.. I have been told over and over again I am a good writer, that might also be why I am easily 5 days ahead of the majority of the class in projects and stuff, So here I am killing time.

Yesterday it was 40 degrees out, I was thinking "Its december 13th? wheres the snow?!"... Sad? Well I am slightly bummed due to it being 2 degrees last week and no snow.. Its so cold out at times and theres nothing in the way of riding besides frost bite.. it really sucks, Id kill to be in the california or something to ride the nice weather, however yesterday I had to work..

 SO today! I have 8 hours at school, 2 of which are open/lunch hours.. and on thursdays I dont have to go to my 8th hour.. So I am going to be a champ and go ride bike at the outdoor park since its suppossed to be upper 40s today. It will be the 3rd time I have "seriously" rode the FBM and I have had the frame since the end of November, yeah, no snow, too cold, and a new ride? how lame is that.. I actually appologized to my bike as I walked by it yesterday when I was getting in the truck to go to work.

I havent really put up a blog on here in a little over 2 weeks I think, I was on a roll of atleast every other day then.  I guess I have been busy? in a weird sort of way.. I just want to ride and thats all and I cant find time or energy its NOT good but I think I have been good about getting up to the bigger parks for sessions. Once winter is over I will be on my bike as much as I am capable of.

So its coming to the end of December and I am really hoping to hear from maxxis, I turned in an application and realized I have a lot of really good qualifications for what the resume asked for. Seeing as how I dropped my other sponsor it would be nice to have that atleast for tires and tubes.. plus they have a great team and there products are good stuff too.. Flow would be great.. haha but I just have to wait it out and see what happens since the website said I wont hear anything till the end of december..

8:18.. killed 11 minutes so far typing this stuff and I am amazed I have kept your attention, I wish I could see how many people actually read these things, kind of like how myspace has a counter.

 I think I better get back to surfing my daily sites..

bmxonline.com defgrip.com vitalbmx.com bikeguide.org im sure im forgetting some others but if you want to stay up to date on whats goin on in the bmx world check those sites daily..

So today I got my new pride.. now that im not riding for anyone I get options again! woo.. ive been really stoked about that..

so I got myself a new FBM stairmaster.. sexyyyy I really love the geometry, you know you have been around bikes when the geometry is what matters to you.. but im really stoked, its friday, i get out of school like 5 minutes early and beat the traffic (2000 kids go to my school.. traffic is hell) soo im home and see that box from albes in the kitchen.. talk about stoked? sooo i bust out the tools and get to work strippin down the bike and putting the new frame together.. the only downer was i ordered a removeable tab kit that gave me the stuff to put in the holes and taps, but they forgot the tabs.. so im brakeless until further notice since I run dual cables and such.. thennnnn I didnt have a chain breaker so im chainless.. but that makes for some fun imaginary freecoaster session in my street .. 18 degrees out! gotta love this weather blah! haha but yeah im stoked..

heres a little picture for you to inspect my great choice in frame and parts.. (majority odyssey!)

So today, I did something that I dont really know how to explain? a lot of riders look at a sponsor as a huge deal, and I know how that feels, even though I totally dont deserve it, and there are a million kids out there better then me. However if I can share my insight, its not as cool as it seems, esspecially if your doing a lot of work to promote them and all you get back is a thanks.. but yesterday when I was riding I decided that I wasnt feeling where psykopath was going and how they are still so low key after all this time.  So today I resigned as a rider for them, doing things on my own again which is, basically the same as always just no title.

my goal for 2007, get myself a FBM stairmaster, a frame I really feel will be comfortable riding and want to ride none the less, and step my game up....  A lot. None of this lolygaggin learn tricks as they come stuff, actually throw down.. start getting some good scars again haha.

Im sure atleast one kid who reads this will say "what a moran, he got a shot at something so many people want and threw it away".. well  people say if your good enough, your time will come.. well I had an oppertunity and took it, wasnt satisfied with how things were going for myself and for them, and decided a change is right. Will another better oppertunity come along? well thats unsure.. Maybe if I keep getting my name out, riding and having a good time, progressing then maybe. if not, well then thats fine, I had my chance and it wasnt exactly what I thought it would be like ya know what I am sayin?

Blogs, they were a dangerous invention for me to ramble.. but maybe this one will have a good message?

 Alright now thats more like it!

so today, I woke up, had nothing goin on.. decided it was time to take a little trip up to Mankato, about an hour 40 from where I live by myself.

the drive gave me plenty of time to think and get everything straight in my mind since lately everything has been stressed and confusing and crap so now I got my mind straightend out..

riding WAS the best time ive had in a long time.. I got to ride with my two buddies who go to college in mankato, that I grew up riding with. then I got to ride with Darrin Treanor and Cal Burgastahler, two fairly well known riders in Minnesota, then little Jordan Tuttle, he kills it and hes a youngin. I think like 14 or something..  it was a super good chill session full of good riding and good ramps.

then myself and my buddies nate and tareyl went to a chinese food place.. got some real good food and hung out and stuff.. good catching up with people

always good stuff to just get yourself some you time, fixes any problems haha

now, two days of school, then a long 5 day weekend, thanksgiving.. oh man get your fat on when you got an exscuse haha..

alright well thats my blogging skills for today

 blaaaaaah    (thats an amazing face!)

Minnesota is a GREAT state, dont get me wrong. But theres this crazy thing called snow that klls me every year about this time. About 2 days ago it snowed 8 inches. woooo sweet I know a lot of people are stoked.. But let me paint a little picture.. The place I ride 85% of the time is an outdoor park, which isnt anything special. mostly 3 foot ramps except what is cement, yeah I know "atleast you have a park". if I didnt appreciate that I wouldnt ride it all the time. So there used to be a small skate shop that had a skatepark in the back, which im not going to lie kept me entertained over the winter. but that closed last January (i still hate the new owner who bought  the place then shut it down 2 months later). so this skateboarders dad found a place to build a park this winter.  the park could have some amazing flow and be super fun, for a tiny warehouse building, if they would have actually looked at the place before they put the ramps in.  woo a 4' mini and a bunch of grind boxes and a few really weird skinny banks and the skaters are complaining its too cluddard? I dont know, Depressing.

so I got it planned that I will probably ride that place like once a week, and then on weekends travel if I can atleast an hour to the next closest indoor parks.

It is weird, I havent had a solid good clip of me filmed and I keep posting these videos of me with all the crap I do all the time and not my new stuff, then get crap for having a flow sponsor. woops? sorry guys. its hard to get your friends to film you when your the one behind the camera the whole time.. so I am bummed because my video I posted up for the haro contest, I already knew from the start that somone else has it sealed, well I have a rider in the contest picked out that I am sure will win it. good luck to you. but I mean, I would kill for one of those 10 slots to get flown to North Carolina to ride the Unit and stuff, just to get out of Minnesota and ride something new with a few guys I have looked up to since I started riding about 6-7 years ago. It would be a sweet vacation 

wow I am a negative one today, I just re-read this blog and I probably sound like a snobbish kid. haha sorry guys..

alright well  I guess thats my blog for the time being.. I needed to kill some time. holla

So my name is Kurt Hohberger.. Some people on here but not many people do.  So for those who dont, I am just like all of you.. I love to ride.
Every aspect of the bmx lifestyle is important to me..

I am into photography, Video filming and editing, I even have my own website.. www.bmxrochester.tk where I post up videos and pictures and news going on in my city, Rochester Minnesota.. you might have read about that in ride in the scene report a few months back..

I get flow from a smaller company out of california I have been trying to promote as much as I can called psykopath industries,  www.psykopath.com they are a pretty rad company and everything..

I live in minnesota as I said before, and in the winter, where I live there is a VERY small park to ride.. which sucks because in the winter I dont ride nearly as much as I would like. I tend to travel a bit more then once the snow falls.

For those of you who saw my bike then you noticed my bike is mostly odyssey, I believe they are the best parts company out.. id kill to get flow from them haha.. i also run primo because some of their parts i like also

 a lot of people ride for the wrong reasons, the reason I do it is for the fun in it..  i got some really great friends who ride and that is always really important when trying to keep riding fun..

thats all i got for this blog.. ill update you on what i am up to over the next few months of crap weather
