Vancouver Cyclery Shop Visit

MikeHopF
Today Marcus Tooker, Ronnie Napolitan, Ryan Nyquist, Dan Foley, Allan Cooke and myself arrived in Portland, Oregon for the Dew Tour stop 2. Allan Hooked it up at a local Haro Dealer for us to come by and hang out with the riders.
The Shop was called "Vancouver Cyclery" in Washington State, about 20 minutes from down town Portland. Shop Boss Bob greeted us and Jesse an employee gave me a hand adjusting my new bike that I just got yesterday. (Thanks again!)
There were around 50 local riders in attendance and we hung out in the parking lot eating Pizza and played "foot down" and the winner took home a new Haro SD frame! We sessioned the bunny hop post set up and Mike Girard took the win at 39 inches!
We had a best flat ground trick which was a fakie to half cab barspin. Honorable mention goes to the kid that did the hippy hop on the bunny hop stick, hands first then feet style, that was sick! (Double click the video to play below for evidence!) Also the 180 Bar with a slice of Pizza in the mouth was decent. Check the pic!
All the riders were cool and the shop was outfitted with a bunch of Haro bikes and products and about 12 Haro posters of Ryan Nyquist from throughout his career. Nice collection!
Thanks for the fun afternoon guys!
