For 2x a week since last October, my friend Josh Ortega has been going out to an undisclosed location working slave labor style fashioning a BMX paradise out of earth. 13 months, 6-7 dirt jumps, & 500 feet later he just beginning to enjoy the fruit of his labor. Ortega (that’s what we like to call him) is an interesting guy. He drives an old 70′s el camino, likes old martial arts movies, digs cool tattoos, married to a wife with seasonally pink hair, & likes to hit you really hard when he sees you. He’s also into riding his bike. He was just telling me that he hopes to someday open BMX Bike Camp for kids someday. I thought that was pretty cool.
On a side note, I nearly got my face smashed 5 pics into shooting these. Josh miscalculated his trajectory, I narrowly avoided painful injury, I may have shouted a four word expletive, etc…
