THE BIRTH OF BARCELONA (raws)

There was a lot of hype for our Barcelona trip video (Was meant to be called the Birth of Barcelona in honor of the legendary Death of Barcelona video from Grime / Zontrac) back when we took this trip in 2016. The question everybody has been dying to have answered: what happened to the video? To keep it brief, the trip organizer and filmer decided to hold on to the project and footage because it “wouldn’t be worth putting out”. Luckily though, I managed to take a lot of second angles and b roll from my camera along with Jackson being kind enough to lend me some of his footage. Thus, the Raw edit was born! This at least lets us share some of the fun times and cool tricks that went down during our 2016 trip (tons of more tricks happened though that aren’t included in this edit). To give some context for myself: this was my first time on a bike since my El Toro accident. My foot was nowhere near ready to ride but we booked the trip before that accident happened, so I went anyways. So my skills weren’t very sharp and my foot was delicate whenever i landed on it. Either way though, I still had a blast with these dudes and I reeeaally hope I can go back soon. Enjoy!

Wheeltalk | DA GOON CAT

Matt just posted up this SICK edit from a Goon Cat ride last July! This one was actually my first time making it out to one of these wheelie boy rides. It was cool to be able to mingle with a different crowd than usual and shoot the shit with some old friends. Definitely need to make it out to these more!

JACOB RUFF | PERMANENT VACATION

There’s not much that needs to be said about this except one thing: perfection. (But I’m gonna say more anyways) Jacob Ruff is easily one of my favorites to ever do it on an FGFS bike. His approaches to spots are so unique and he has such a “get it done” attitude that won’t let him give up. He is an amazing representative of the sport both on and off the bike and I’m incredibly proud to call him a team mate and good friend. Okay, onto the riding. Jacob really surprised me on this one, I’m not gonna lie. He went a little more sendy than I’m used to seeing and it got me HYPED. Clean, original, and sendy, the perfect trifecta. Please don’t miss this one and watch it ASAP!
