Mega Tour Day 5

Posted in Featured News by Leigh Ramsdell

We made it to Minneapolis and made some moves...

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 Karl to throw down some of his orignal riding. The next spot was for Eric who did an amazing line. On the way to a crazy set up for Phil we were stopped by some people giving out free energy drinks. Just in time because we were thirsty and these did a great job of not quenching our thirst. That did not stop Phil from pulling the move of the trip so far. You will have to wait for the video but he had to do it with the pressure of a big crowd watching and I will add that it was pretty damn nuts. Phil is a beast. That ended our campus tour for the day and it was off to downtown. The first spot we got kicked out before Adam could pull his stuff but he did talk to a not so sane person but the next spot he did pull a creative manuever. Karl did a long creative line after another loose street person shouted, "Living the Libra life!". The session ended at a sub that Karl got one thing done but was looking for something else that we will have to hit up again. Dinner was had a Pizza Luce and we all left with happy, full bellys. Tomorrow should prove to be a good one.
