| Name/Age? Russ Cunningham / 17 How long have you been riding? My whole life, but really this past couple of years What terrians do you enjoy? Dirt, street and skatepark What frame are you running at the moment? A really red fit Part of the time you live in Port Townsend. How's the scene over there? Actually, there is only one other biker in PT that I know of. But there are some great street spots and a really nice new skatepark that allows bikes! HEE! HEE! Have you ever been hasseled by a cop or angry skaters or ignorant bikers? Of course. I even got in a fight with one outside of an ice cream parlor. I kind of just ignore the angry skaters and bikers. But I usually just try to run/ride away from the cops as fast as possible. What kind of car do you drive? An 85' Toyota corolla Do you drive it up next to banks and do spocket bashes and other silly things on it? I haven't yet, but it sounds like a good idea. Who do you respect as riders? Anybody who pushes themselves to get better at something. What other type of things do you enjoy? I enjoy snowboarding, rock climbing, mountaineering, eating, sleeping, and just chillin. Are you a [silly][ignorant] republican or a [wise][wonderful] democrate? I consider myself independent, but I tend to agree with more democrates than the other guys. Comments? I think people should ride because they love it, not because it's cool. -And biker hating skaters can suck it in hell. Thanks? Thanks to you Sam for getting me into riding back in the day and to all my friends for keeping me motivated to keep riding. |

| I met Russ when I was in the 5th grade. He was in 7th. We went to an alternative school so all the grades were mixed up and we shared classes with older and younger kids. We became best friends and hung out all the time. We rode our bikes and pretended to be better than everyone else and so on. Typical kid stuff. When he was to go off to high school he moved to Port Townsend to live with his mom. He'd come back during the summer and we'd hang out. One summer he showed up and looked totally different. He had a new bike and was ready to try anything you put in his way. I was just getting into street riding and he'd come along with us. I taught him how to feeble on this little bench (and this was before I could barely do them). Soon he was doing them on everything. Then double and smith. He was barspinning off of stuff and was getting pretty damn good at dirt. Fast forward a couple years. He's progressed so much and is a really good street rider. He's gotten his dirt flow down and has developed some of the most eye catching style. It amazes me how fast he progresses. So by next week watch out for some crazy sh!t. |
