Cabrinha’s Boys In The Hood – Day 1

Jul 20, 2010

Author: Damien Leroy

 It all begins!!
 
Melissa Gil, Damien LeRoy and Brandon Bowe flew into the amazing Hood River Gorge in Oregon.  They met up with the future youth riders Matt Collins, Matt Elsasser, brother Cole and the one and only Jesse Richman.  Kirsten Ulmer and Ken Lucas the local Cabrinha representatives and incredible riders gathered up the crew and started the trip of a lifetime…  The day was nothing more than non-stop action, as the motorcycles were pulled out and it was a free for all in the mountains around the Oregon area.  As for some of the youth guys it was there first time on some fast bikes, it sure made it interesting.  As the day went on we had to clean off, so the Cabrinha RV, the ride for the gang, was loaded up and was off for some cliff jumping.  Lets just say there was some big jumps and limits were pushed.  As the level got higher someone got a little banged up.   One had to go to the hospital to get checked!  As we switched gears and hit the water in a beautiful and supper windy kite session.  As I write this I am falling asleep!!!  Day 1 not so bad!!! Lets see what day two has in store keep checking back!!!
