The First Weekly Post Office BBQ!

by Justin Brantley
Mar 20, 2010


This past Sunday was the first weekly BBQ at Post Office. It is up in the air whether the BBQ will be on Saturdays or Sundays. I guess we'll play it by ear. Anyhow, this past Sunday was awesome. Lots of good riders, friends, weather, and the ol' BBQ!

It was one of the best days at Post ever. All the top pro riders around Aptos were there with friends, food, and great weather. One problem, where's Cob with the damn BBQ? Ha ha ha, we were all waiting for Cob to bring the BBQ, but his morning trail ride was running long. It was about 4 o'clock when Cob showed. Everyone was stoked and we started bbq-ing right away. Watts had bought a ton of stuff, so everyone pitched and gave him money to eat and drink.

Check out how the day went along with some pictures inside...

It was a super cool atmosphere at the Post Office! It's nice having a few beers and some burgers during a sesh. This DRUNK older lady that supposedly lives in the woods and is a witch was hanging out with us. She was funny as she ran her mouth about the most random things. The riders were egging her on. She tried stuffing bread down T-Mac's pants and start throwing white bread at us. It was very entertaining to say the least.

Spomer was in from out of town doing some filming, so the boys were throwing down some sick stuff after the BBQ. Greg was going off! Throwing big double whips, flip whips, flip double whips, everything in the book! Along with some very funny tricks. Along with Greg everyone was killing it too!

 All cool and bro and everything, but drunk, witch, hiding her bike ? Kinda uncool comments and unsympathetic to those less fortunate, eh ? Got issues with witches, Wiccans and pagans. Try to write like an adult, it'll read better.

 Sorry if i offended you, but this lady was a crack up! She was causing problems with us, hahaha! It was just a super funny part of the day and I had to write about it. It was kinda funny actually, the lady after she sat on that stump(pictured above) started complementing the riders and saying how cool they were. And yeah i got issues with people saying they're witches, all drunk and causing problems. I think we all handled it the best way possible!
flag smeckma (Mar 20, 2010 at 12:28)
 If by "causing trouble" you mean "embarrassing" you aren't in the right mate. I quite agree with gnarbar (we need to be more sympathetic with those less fortunate than us). If she was cracked up, like you're saying, that's what the situation is, so you can't make people responsible for things they aren't happy with.
flag j-brantley  (Mar 20, 2010 at 12:33)
 Whatever! She was having a good time, we all were having a good time! IT was all good. She had more fun with us then any other possible thing she could've been doing on a sunny Sunday. She chilled most of the day, and hungout. She had fun, just like we did! So get over guys, come on!
flag smeckma (Mar 20, 2010 at 12:34)
 BTW, I know you don't mean it like that, but you're probably better off if you keep your heart as clean (don't let yourself down because of peer pressure). Don't be judgemental with people please.
flag domdamonster (Mar 20, 2010 at 13:22)
 JB and the other riders did nothing wrong... she was just another cracked out lady probably living up in pogonip smoking meth on the daily. Smecka and gnarbar don't live in SC so it wouldn't make sense to them; there are a lot of mentally distorted bums around town that will screw with you. They crawl out of the ravine thats across the street from my house and scope my garage every day. Now i'm not as surprised my bike was stolen...

Props on the great photo's JB

 When he said "she was a crack up" he didn't mean she was on crack, it generally means she was funny to watch.
