What, no invite for me? lol.
 






It was last minute. My gf and I were house sitting in Beaverton. And there's not much for trails up there, Tyler only got stuck once
 






Its all good, I ended up hitting up a local spot. Its only like 20 acres, but a ton of decent trails. I pulled a Tyler move when i accidentally went up a quad trail.
