0:00.0	Have a seat on your porcelain throne.
0:02.3	It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement.
0:13.5	Welcome to the Powell Movement.
0:16.9	I'm your host Mike Powell,
0:18.4	and this week I'm changing things up
0:20.4	and taking a road trip down to Pryonville, Oregon to see one of the most radical bike events on the planet.
0:26.5	No, I'm not talking about Red Bull Rampage, I'm talking about Proving Grounds, which can be looked at as a mix of big mountain and slope style all mixed into one.
0:35.6	Think huge jumps, insane drops, man-made sculpted features,
0:39.6	and the best men and women riders in the world.
0:42.5	While I might not be the biggest bike guy, I love bike events,

1:12.3	be awfully cool having a photo of me talking to Travis Rice or Brandon Semenuk. But whatever. Thanks for
1:18.8	all the Laird Superfood stuff and picky bars. They kept me going at this event. Actually, what kept me
1:24.3	going and kept me on fire was one of my sponsors who also sponsored this event.
1:28.9	Ten Barrow was on site and I had way too many Pilsners, which you will hear in my voice for sure.
1:34.8	So thanks Mason, Dave, Bree, and all the Ten Varial folks I met this weekend for keeping me hydrated.
1:40.5	I also want to thank the rest of my amazing sponsors.
