Lords of Dirt, France

LOD
This past weekend, Cory Nastazio and I traveled all the way to France for the "Lords of Dirt" contest. Here are some notes below on the trip. Thanks to Patrick Guimez for hooking us up with everything and for hosting a great event. See you next year!

1. Flying into Spain, and driving to France. I love Europe!
2. Staying in a house with 10 guys and one girl.
3. Checking out the contest jumps and seeing they were in 100% condition. Thank you for the hard work!
4. Going to the nearby beach. (Beautiful!)
5. It happened to be the hottest weekend of the year, so between runs we were resting in the Van with engine running and AC on all day.
6. The curved Wall-ride was really fun, at first I didn't like it, but it was good to me.
7. Going to Mcdonalds everyday.
8. Nasty got an interview in a French magazine that has full nude women and extreme sports in it. What a combo.
9. Nasty got hurt in practice after a big fall. He went back up the roll in and did a run that would have got him top 3. It was nuts! But then his hand swelled up and he had to sit out of the contest.
10. Getting to hang out and ride with a bunch of cool people with a good atmosphere in a beautiful part of the world.
