Introduction

Growing up, I was constantly trying to keep pace with the older kids. 'Sidewalk Big Wheel culture' would not allow the gromets to start from the front. We started from the back. After winning my first Big Wheel race - I was hooked on adrenaline.

Be sure to answer all the questions AND provide a picture. Additionally - what is your zip code? (we can then target activities in your location/work zip code is fine)

90405

What kind of outdoor activities do you already do?

Almost everything outdoors interests me: mountain biking, scuba diving, hang gliding, skydiving, sea kayaking, skiing and snowboarding, back packing and surfing.

What sorta stuff are you looking to do with this group?

I just bought a pair of climbing shoes and am anxious to learn the ropes. Any climbers out there? Also, I like doing different activities over the weekend. Anyone like to roadtrip?

Additional Information

"I am continually reminded of how 'badass' my surroundings are - that includes you! Take that energy and apply it to your job: makin' films, traveling, skating - or however you roll! 2009 is your biy-atch!"

What Chris Ashford is saying about this Meetup Group

By far, one of the most engaging and wonderful group of adventurers on the planet. Okay I am biased but I really do believe it. Click the profiles of the members, including the co-organizers - there are seven. When you have you'll see nothing short of amazing!

  • Hi Chris,
    I'd love to join you guys tonight but I think that being a beginner I should start on a day trip rather than a night trip. What do you think?

  • Thanks Chris! Looking forward to some awesome events with you guys. Any upcoming backpacking trips to Angeles Forrest? I've heard how great the area is and want to explore, but not sure what the situation is like post the big burnout from a year ago. Maybe something that incorporates a day of river/stream fishing would be awesome too!
