My buddy Jake hit me up the other day to see if I wanted to shoot some photos. I happened to be downtown already and since I keep my bike in the car at all times, it worked out. There’s a lot of fun spots to session in downtown Boise but one of my most favorite things to do is just cruise around, launch curb cuts and hop over random stuff. This curb launcher is on the corner of 6th and Idaho. Minus the zebra pants, this is what “street” riding is for me these days. I hit this thing just about every time I pedal through.

Treefort Music Fest – Boise, Idaho

I missed out on last year’s inaugural Treefort Music Fest but I made up for it this time around with plenty of partying and shutter clicking. Here are some snapshots I collected from the weekend. Shout out to The Dedicated Servers for hooking me up with a pass and Pie Hole for keeping my camera safe when I had left it on their patio. That was probably the fastest I had ever ran in my life.

I woke up the other day a lot earlier than usual and when I looked out my bedroom window, I couldn’t see shit. There was a thick layer of fog draping over the city and my gut reaction was to drive up to Bogus to get above it. I had this image in my head of a picture perfect inversion, similar to the ones you see from airplanes. I was real excited about the trek since I’ve never seen a proper inversion like that in Boise before. I remember seeing it in the local news but that’s about it. I had never actually driven up there to see it myself.

Anyway, when I got about halfway up, I found this triple decker sandwich of clouds instead.

The roads were extremely icy this morning. I know this because when I checked Facebook, 90% of the posts on my news feed had something to do with it. I also got another hint when I heard a loud rumble in front of my house. I ignored it at the time and didn’t think much about it. It wasn’t until I was heading out for lunch that I realized what had happened.

I live on a relatively busy road, right after a curve. Garbage day was yesterday and I was too lazy to take the cans back in last night so I left them out by the sidewalk… This morning, somebody accidentally played bowling with their car and scored a strike with all three of my giant garbage cans. I’m assuming everybody was ok since I didn’t hear sirens after the rumble. I do, however, kinda wish I would’ve seen it.

I’m not sure how he did it, but believe it or not, Austin skated out of this real clean. Once for fun and twice for the camera. Shot at Rhoades Skatepark, Boise, ID.

I had heard of GWAR before prior to this show but I didn’t know much about them. I just knew Mat Hoffman liked them and a handful of their songs had been in BMX videos. It wasn’t until I saw this Joan Rivers interview that I realized the extent of their awesomeness.

Tumbleweeds, ID

If you would’ve asked me a few years ago which Doritos flavor I prefer (Cool Ranch or Original Cheese), I probably would’ve said Original Cheese because you can’t go wrong with cheese. Cheese is the best shit ever and you just can’t fuck with it. I don’t understand how vegans can go without it.

However, if you were to ask me that same question today, I’d answer Cool Ranch. I’m not really sure why though because if I had the option to eat ranch or eat cheese on its own, I’d still choose cheese. You might not know this but eating (or drinking?!) ranch on its own is just disgusting. Who in their right mind would do that? NO ONE. I think I’m getting off tangent here though because this is all besides the point. The bottom line is something happened between now and then that has influenced me to choose Cool Ranch over Original Cheese whenever it comes to Doritos. That’s it. Now you know and don’t you ever forget it. Later on in life, somebody’s going to stick a gun to your head and if you don’t answer them correctly regarding my flavor of preference when it comes to Doritos, YOU WILL DIE.

Anyway, here are some pics from this year’s Ranch Fest. Thanks to the Dedicated Servers for extending the invite and the kind folks in Finn Riggins for putting it on.
