Some of us were finger boarding and playing pong, while others of us were grilling and climbing on shipping containers. The Vault ended up having a little cookout/party for us which was a nice way to end a long day of scootering, shop signing, interview, mini comp and riding spots. He ended up settling for a BS 180 to fakie nose manual to fakie on that same picnic table. Josh was off getting B-roll for the documentary and come nightfall, Ian was battling a trick. Jon ended up pulling a Downside Whip Noseblunt slide first try on one of the picnic tables. They were hitting it so fast, it was hard for the camera to keep up. Jona and Christian rode a line of picnic tables and gapped 10 plus feet over a railing into a mellow bank. The school was a fun place to ride with a little something something for everyone. He ended up so tweaked on the rail that it looks like he is about to ride it to fakie but he pulls his body back to regular as if he had the skills of a gymnast. Coming in fast it looks like he is barely going to get over the bump and then he pulls his scooter a foot over the bar and lands in a leaned back board slide as if he was just riding it out/surfing a wave. One half assed attempt left him with a quick realization that it was all or nothing for this trick. Getting acclimated with the spot, Tom decided he was going for the bump to bar to board slide. Giving it his all, he ended up riding away with a clean fast land, barely dodging the electric box that Chris was standing behind to get the photo.įurther down the road in the opposite direction, Tom and Jona were eying a bump to bar. There was a lot going on here plus Dylan had to push mach 10 into traffic which is why it was a perfect Dylan trick. After about 10 minutes, it was determined a wall ride thread the needle jump before the crack and don’t hit the electric box that was in the landing was the best option. We all knew there was something there just by the look and feel of it but we weren’t really sure what. We met at a nearby school and pushed around from there.ĭylan found a pretty cool sidewalk gap. The team was mainly wanting to ride spots so we warmed up as best we could at this very slick park and hit the streets. The boys got some clips and did a group scooter check. On the second day at The Vault, we hosted a ride day with a mini competition at Westchester Skate Park. Not everyone was involved with these so there was a constant flow of people coming and going with plenty of chilling and scootering to keep everyone preoccupied for the time being. We had previously set up some time to hang at The Vault Pro Scooter Shop to do interviews and custom builds. Since the bus was made to only sleep 6 people at max, we were crashing at the Wheelands residence for a couple of nights. The bus was stacked with 12 people relying on it as a form of transportation. Ian tagged along from Denver to film and edit the mid-length video. Once getting to LA, we met back up with Collin, Jona, Tyler & Jordan plus Christian, Jon & Classic were now in the mix. Creeping past 100 at night with no AC, everyone’s sleeping mats looked like they wet the bed with pools of sweat. Stopping in Grand Junction, Colorado we got some drone shots and later slept in Mesquite, Nevada where it was too hot to sleep. Shortly after we hit the road towards LA to meet up with more of the TILT crew that was flying in. Luckily, Tyler later hooked Josh up with a deck and some spare parts. It’s sad when one person can ruin a positive day trying to bring a community together. Sadly, this is the day where Josh Smukal parted ways with his beloved scooter due to some local stealing it and running off into the corn field as Josh filmed. There was a decent turnout at Sheridan Skate Park where we filmed with some younger riders, signed windbreakers and took photos. We scheduled a ride day at the CoCrews favorite park. Tyler caught a flight back home for a break, Tom went rock climbing, Dylan and Josh did laundry while also wandering around the city for a little and Issac made some repairs to his scooter. Everyone was a little beat from the heavy miles in a couple of days so people sort of just did their own thing. The boys made it to Denver, Colorado where Tom K and Issac both live.
