Another Zoo Bomb Video




Click to Play

PORTLAND, Ore - It was cold and snowing but the streets were just wet. It was my first ride on 16" wheels and though I've always loved zoobombing now I finally get it.

The camera was a secondary, perhaps tertiary (there's a fancy word for ya), consideration as I'm sure you can tell by the sickmaking video-- but perhaps it caputures the feel.

At the end of the video is a promo for Mini-Bike Winter #5. Dude, you gotsta, gotsta go.

Oh, in case you heard the Portland bicycle economy story on American Public Media's, Market Place, or Oregon Public Broadcasting, you can briefly see reporter, Ethan Lindsey, towards the end of the bombing run. A fine fellow he is.

ZOO BOMB!
