Sorry for the lack of update I have been slacking, No excuses.
So yesterday Sam Baskett rings me to say we are going to Bedminster to get some clips to help finish off his badass SOUTH WEST edit that he has been doing for some time now, And to catch the start of 'Ride to Glory'.
Ride to glory's teams look pretty street orientated this year with shadow and odyssey and Wethepoeple teams consisting of mainly street typical riders such as Jason Phelan, Scott Ditchburn, Bruno Hoffman and Paul Ryan.
As we rolled into the park earlyer in the day there were lots of ghetto kids and a few Levi wanna be's doing some bunnyhops. We immediately got some footage taken of myself doing some flairs and opo air bars to taps and some hurricanes then later on Adam Butterworth and co turn up as we were later going on a street ride for some more shooting. Before this of course the park rapidly became more and more filled with all the uk's Rtg crew and they were all having a good ol session and chatting and some of the teams even got on it and started getting challenges done!
It was good to see allot of the chaps I had just seen at nass and to have a quick session rather than a practice run at a comp. Nikki C was blasting that hip at the bottom of the park so high he had time to tuk twice for a no hander then to last minute decide to do a table and still be at least 8 ft out. Yeah 8ft easy!
Bruno was doing some rad fakie manuals around a deck to 360 out which was totally outrageous. And Craig Stevens was charging around the park trying to prove himself like usual fufing backrails and smashing out ice grinds.
Anyways we all went off (Adam, Sam, George, Lance and myself) and watched Adam bunnyhop out the back of a van and we stole a subways sticker for his bike, and watched him send some handrails and wallrides.
When we got back to Bedminster park a few more riders where there from USA, namely Aaron Ross and Jimmy C yknow the one with the signature pedal.
The profile team I think have got one on all the others for the trip spirit due to having Craig Stevens as the Tm so the partying will be hard and Tamblin has done something nuts at every park you have been to and they had a street rider with them form the states too! So there team is really well rounded for all the things they need to win. Can't wait to see what goes down.
NEXT DAY (SUNDAY)
After I went out to pull some chicks the night before due to my town having T4 on the beach I got lucky and managed to end up in a hotel a mile away with 3 girls And I did not get much sleep at all. I manage to get home at like 10am tired as shit and after a hearty Beans, sausage, egg and stir fry meal Wayne knocks at the door as I am having a shit. I haggardly grab my bike and pack my knee pads and throw my bike into the car and then we got to meet Matt Cable at the services to head to Creation Skate Park. When we got to the services Matt showed up and he had straightened hair and a sweetie wrist band on! I thought he had been up to some weird things the night before but it turned out he was just at a fancy dress party and the straight hair was a result of that. Tho no news on why he was wearing a sweetie bracelet other than the fact he can shoot the sweets of it so it kills when it hits ya.
On our way up the old motor way, We drive past a traffic jam trying to get to T4 on the beach that ended up being around 12+ miles long and we made silly jokes at how gay everyone was in the Que.
In the end the joke was on us when the motor way was closed and it ended up taking us like an extra hour or so to get to the park as we had to take some Butt crack route to Birmingham. I didn't mind tho as we talked shit and sang obnoxiously to 'Tenasious D' so the trip for me was great.
When we got there straigh off the bat GT bikes rider Josh age 16 was doing massive 3 double whips over the volcano and learning 3 whip hops into the landing of the box there.
Matt was killing the step up Dialling in his ever amazing Tables but in 360's and man did they look cool. He also pretty much did a double whip! Wayne did some really clean tuk no handers and apparently did one to x to. Cool beans Wayne.
Myself, well I had fun doing some carved flairs and I learnt to do 3whips and 3seatgrab xups too.And there was a vert wall after a handrail that I toothpicked and was pretty happy about.
We then left and hit the road to get home. We sang more songs and I received a WET WILLY for nodding off to sleep half way through.Thanks Wayne Matt was handing out sweets and and also singing too which was funny as fuck Cu's he never sings! Sadly tho Matt had to go home and Wayne had to do the same. I had allot of fun this Sunday guys. Thanks again! Never a bad time with you guys.
Holla. Pics soon!
Boyd was carving them 360's.
This was a badboy truck to footjam.
Luke definitely impressed people with his unique riding and I mean there was NO one riding in the way he did. STOKED ON THAT!
Hows this for a 3?
Edgeworth was in affect with cool shades on.
