Ivan has some good clips in this mix from the Stress crew over in Russia.
About 6 months ago DJ tried this large 360 running off a high of clocking some solid clips earlier in the day. Unfortunately the 5 block got the better of him. Basically he 360’d it as if he was doing a 3 hop which caused him to over rotate and punch himself in the face.
We never used the crash clip incase he wanted to go back and get it done but after folding his foot and not being able too ride for 4 months because of this crash he called it a day on this one.
So a couple of weeks a go now the Backbone crew got together to head up to Kempsey for a memorial jam, and we thought it would be a good idea to make a filming trip out of it. So we decide to stop off at Newcastle for a couple of nights, which was sickerning! Rocked up to Newcastle around 1am and camped right next to Bar beach… Lets just say the spot looked at bit different at night then it did in the morning haha… We all woke up to moaning and groaning from a group of people doing an early morning boot camp course… SELFISH! After being interrupted from sleeping we rolled up our swags and headed for the beach… It was pretty hard to get out and go for a ride but we thought it would be the right thing to do haha…
So we got our shit together and had a roll around the park for a bit and then headed for the streets, didn’t find to much which sucked… After spending a couple of nights in Newy we made the trip up to Kempsey for the jam. Turned up late as per usual when you’re on the road with 10 dudes… It was a pretty sick arvo actually, the park was heaps of fun and there was a good turn out which was dope, good times for sure!!! After the jam finished up we jetted out of there and stayed the night at Port Macquarie… The next morning we went for a swim, hit the skate park there which had the most perfect fucking flat rail you could ever imagine, after jizzing over the flat rail a little more we made the long trip back home.
In other news not to much has really been happening here, back at work from a lengthy break which was a bit rough. Been filming a fair bit too, got a couple of good clips with B dog last week on a 15 flat 9 stair kinker which i’m pretty psyched on, also seen Zac Miner do a humongous over ice… other then that same old shit.
Whilst in Sydney we shot a few photos of Macca‘s current setup, he loves the tall front end that’s for sure. With his signature 9″ C-Bahs and a stack of spacers. Be on the lookout soon for an increase to 9.5″ for the bars so you don’t have to run so many washers.
Right now it’s 43 degree’s in Adelaide so until the sunsets riding is taking a back seat to not melting. Both Rhys and DJ have been making the most of when we can ride though.
Next up in the web ads is Sydney based Chris Whyte. This shot is from a recent filming trip we took, solid ledge ride. More information on the Formosa forks here.
Trent sent through some photos of his current rider stacked with product from us. He also hooked us up with this dialed opposite ice shot that Andrew Brady took.
Damn Bear kills it in this video for Alibico. The new section of Rampworx in the uK looks so good.
