Bristol trip 20/2/2011

Yesterday we drove up to Bristol as a whole team. It's been a while since we have had the whole team together riding, let alone doing a small road trip. We met up in tesco's car park at 8.
After we finally waited for Kimbo to actually wake up, We headed for Maccy d's for breakfast. (Or just a fanta if your organic like me).
Journey up was funny as hell with Kimbo leading the convoy, but also leading us the wrong way multiple times. Tractor boi had to stop on the hard shoulder as his bike rack was dodgy as fuck.
 The new ledge going in to crediton's skatepark.

Luckily it went all smooth and met up with Buckle in dean lane, after much confusion on where to park and getting lost in dead ends. After the warm up at Dean lane, and Kimbo sorting out his broken chain due to his mach 10 crank arm slide, we headed on to Lloyd's to get some footage. I have been wanting to hit up this spot on my bike for some time now. But like normal it was over run by alot of skaters trying to capture footage in parallel with us trying to film a line. Luckily Tractor boi just sat his bike on the ledge and i got a clip first go, even if the skaters werecrying at Tractor boi to move. After Lloyd's we decided to move onto the hip, another spot i was mega stoked about to hit on my bike.
 First whip outside of a park from Lewis
 Kimbo popping his new " Mastroni " inspired lip slide.

Buckle popping the infamous T-down over the hip.

After the hip session it was pretty much time to leave as people needed to head off. We had 1 more spot to see which was a curved left handed rail that Buckle did without hitch and got it filmed.

Checking out the footage from Buckles rail.

After this photo was taken we just stormed back to the car. I decided to lead the convoy out of Bristol as it's confusing as hell. Once we had got on the M5, Tractor boi & Kimbo just fly past. However myself and Jason just chilled in my car and once we got close to Tiverton decided to stop in for coffee and some arcade fun.
Shooting zombie's is mad tiring.

Everyone had got back by the time we were just finishing shooting plenty of zombies. So again we choose a in-direct route home and checked out a couple spots in surrounding villages. Found a nice ledge that we will have to go back to and get some footage.

Overall real chilled day not as much filming as I had hoped. But was nice to see everyone out having a good time. Defiant rebate and hit up those ledges for alot more clips soon.
