Zumiez 100K Photos
We went to Keystone, CO for Zumiez 100K and all we came back with are these lousy photos… Just kidding. But seriously, the photos don’t even tell half of the story! Sub zero temperatures, slippery roads, sketchy diners and ONE HELL OF A RIPPING PARTY!! Thanks to Zumiez for the epic memories and we’ll see you again next year.
On The Road With Flip part 2
Next stop on the Flip West Coast Represent tour was the Simi Valley demo. On this stop we had Dave Duncan MC’ing and AVE joining us on the tour as a guest skater. From this point forward the voyage started getting into some rad and weird territory with the late night hijinx and pranks reaching new levels! People got their beds pissed on, shit on and worse… Tour chaos set to maximum carnage basically. After the demo we headed north to Tehachapi, CA where the fine people at Woodward let us session their camp for the day. Woodward is basically a giant compound with more obstacles to skate than any other place i’ve ever seen. They even have a mega ramp where Rune got a serious hammer and a few others got broke off… all good in the hood though. On our way out of town we skated an apocalyptic ditch spot that had some of the best and worst graffiti ever! Next stop… Visalia, CA. Check out this video from the Simi Valley demo and thanks to Skatelab and Woodward for the good times!
On The Road With Flip
Last Friday we hit the road with the crew to embark on the West Coast Represent Tour! So far… Chaos, carnage, epic vibes, fast food, skate & destruction, homies, late nights, gambling, night stalkers, signings, perfect California weather and life on the fuckin’ road! This pretty much sums up the last few days of the tour. Thanks to Asylum and Vans for having us and stay tuned for our next stop and first demo at Skatelab in Simi Valley. CLICK HERE for more tour details. Until next time…
Mega Madness Day…
The Flip team recently traveled to Bob’s compound to check out the infamous Mega Ramp and skate some of the other gnarly obstacles at Bob’s place. It was the hottest November day i’ve ever felt in my life and at high noon Andrew Langi, Bob and Lance decided to pad up and go skate the mega. First, everyone warmed up on the massive quarter pipe, which is basically a tsunami-sized ramp, followed by a shred session to the highest levels by Mr. Burnquist. As the sun continued to pound down on us Rune A.K.A. “The Danish Destoyer” got a couple hammers on the other burly spot at Bob’s place… no biggie! By the end of the day everyone was totally dehydrated and yet ready to keep on skating. So, at dusk we made our way south to an abandoned skate house courtesy of the Built To Shred homies. More gnarly maneuvers, night prowlers, heavy vibes and one of the best skate days ever!! Thanks to Acosta for making the trip with us. Until next time…
