Last week I was sitting at home still grounded and not traveling from when all of my stuff was stolen and was itching to go somewhere to ride. So I got ahold of my favorite Kiwi's who are all renting a few spots up at whistler for the summer and the next day I was there with all of my bikes and nothing to do but ride. It was a really chill week with just good weather, riding and swimming everyday. Now I am on a Gravity trip to Highland Mountain Bike Park in New Hampshire and things aren't starting off as smooth. Me and Porter met Alex Reveles and Harookz at the airport and we had to circle a few times because it was too stormy to land. When we finally touched ground we were stoked that all of our stuff showed up after 3 flights so Porter went to grab the rental car and the first thing he does is slam a curb and pop the tire. All we could do was laugh and Porter had to walk back in the rain to get another one. So Andrew Taylor met us later that night and the next day we went to the bike park. The course there is the sickest thing we have seen on a mountain. Dave Smutok has been building on this this hill for over a year now and it all looks amazing. We are all here to shoot and film this week and there is a comp this weekend so we are stoked to ride we just need to wait for this rain to slow down a bit. The water is suppose to turn of soon so we are gonna just build our bikes and sit and wait with are pads on ready to go.
