Mega Tour Day 7 Posted 6 months ago Mega Tour has wrapped up and everyone is in the hotel taken apart bikes and packing. It's been a blast for sure. The final day started out at a park next to the Mississippi river. We did a cool team intro for the video and then Phil and Eric rode a cool roof. Eric put together a good line and Phil dropped off of it numerous times. We went back to the hotel for a quick dip in the pool and then met up with the rest of the teams at 3rd Lair skatepark. Eric, Phil and I rode some ... |

Mega Tour Day 6 Posted 6 months ago Today started with Phil coming into our room telling us that the van had a flat. So Phil, Stew and I went out to change it. After figuring out how to get the spare out and almost having the van fall on me we got it done and were on our way to the first spot. When we arrived there were some workers around and we couldn't ride so a little frisbee action took place. Once we started feeling a little too hippie-ish it was time to move on and ride like a man. Downtown was the destination for today ... |

Mega Tour Day 5 Posted 6 months ago We left Madison last night and drove four and a half hours to Minneapolis arriving late. We went to bed and woke up today ready to ride Eric Holley's home town. Nick Anderson was suppose to ride with us but a few days before the Mega Tour he sprained his ankle real bad and couldn't make it. The day of riding started at the University of Minnisota and Phil stepped up and got it going with a transfer to rail line. He did break his chain before getting it done. After that the crew moved to a great spot for ... |

Mega Tour Day 4 Posted 6 months ago 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false I use to live in Madison so going there for our next stop was something I was looking forward too. We arrived at the hotel pretty late last night and everyone crashed. The team woke up, ate some breakfast and was ready to hit the streets. The first spot was a cool triangle wedge spot with a guardrail surrounding half of it. Eric, Adam and Phil were getting clips right off the bat. Once that spot was exhausted it was off to find another. On the way to the ... |

Mega Tour Day 3 Posted 6 months, 1 week ago 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false Today was our final day in Chicago and it was a super productive one. We started the day with a great breakfast and headed to the skate plaza that we rode last night. On the way there Phil started the day with a hot manual line. Once we got to the plaza everyone on the team got some great lines on tape, well, on SD cards. The next stop we were surrounded by a bunch of teenage hippies but that didn’t stop Karl and Phil getting done what they ... |

Mega Tour Day 2 Posted 6 months, 1 week ago We finished up the second day of the Mega Tour. The weather today has been absolutley amazing. Oh, wait, before I talk about today I should mention that we rode a new indoor park last night in St. Charles called Circus that Jeff Harrington told us about. Dave and Chris are the owners and hooked it up. The locals there were awesome and did some nutty stunts that you will have to wait for the video to come out. After riding we finally made it back to the hotel exhausted and ready for some sleep. The next day we woke ... |
