#tiltgoessouth



Since I never put any effort into doing cool shit anymore I figured this would be a easy one to. Here are some photos from the trip and some shit that went down in them....


We went up this crazy ass hill through these million dollar homes to get to this view. We filmed some intro stuff to the tilt video that should be pretty sick. It was such a sick view but then we were just chilling and people that lived in the houses around us were looking at us and shit so we dipped out.


Izzak and Erik handling some business 


In case your lame and missed it Erik hurricaned the Hollywood High 16 rail last weekend for a Tilt video. He said he was down to do it so to Hollywood we went. When we got to the school the gates were open and before I even got through the gate Erik was already boardsliding down the 12 no big deal. We were all checking the school out and Shelby was there to shoot the photo so we were waiting for her to set up. Once she got set up Erik ran up to it then did a board down it first try. We were all stoked and he went back up and did the hurricane first try. It was so sick to be there in person to see it. Then a dude who worked for the school cruised up but turns out he didnt give a shit. He told me and Collin he would watch and smoke a blunt with us if he could haha. Something else went down after Erik but were holdin that shit down!...
During the trip we left LA and went to Phoenix, AZ area and had a good time. We rode a ton of ditches but we got to go to the white walls and they were super chill. The tranny on them is acutally really really good. Some of it is kinda sketchy to ride just because its starting to break down but everybody was blasting the shit out of it. The building on the far right was abandoned and the door was broke open it was super sketchy haha. I just cruised around and tried to find some cool shots to take. Being out in the desert is pretty crazy
 So we had at least 8 or 9 people rolling with us during the whole trip at least. Most days it was more like 10 to 12 so Collin rented a brand new E350 15 passenger van. Right off the bat the front right breaks were really bad and had a suppper gnarly grinding sound. Last day of the trip the breaks finally went out and we had to pull over and the van got towed. There was break fluid everywhere, if we would of kept driving we could of seriously gotten fucked up haha. But having the van was so great, its really fun to have everybody in there but it does get old, and really dirty, and smells really bad. But that is how its suppose to be!
This is Conor and Jordan at the Cactus Ditch in AZ. We rode there for a while then get kicked out by a bunch of dudes in a city truck pretty bummed on us being there. So it was whatever fuck it, but it was weird because it was a ditch, you almost never ever get kicked out of a fucking ditch haha. So the next day we went back because Monky wanted to get a clip. So we went back and about 45 mins after being there the truck comes ripping down the flat bottom hauling ass and just got of his truck and said "Parties over boys" hahaha so we dipped out. Couldnt believe we got kicked out of the same ditch 2 days in a row...
This was a ditch in AZ that was a box jump. Its in alot of videos the peachy dudes and dylan and alex in the proto video has clips on it. We went there and rode it for a while. Monky and Izzak were doing scooter tricks over it for days no problem. Just seshing it like they were at a park haha it was sick. Then it got late so we busted the genny and lights out and Jordan and Conor got clips. It was pretty dope


Went to this 5 block and nobody was really feeling it because the fence at the top makes the run up really short so you have to carve pretty hard to hit it. Everybody was bitching about how crazy and bad the run up was then Issac was just like ok I have a trick on it and got it first try. It was pretty sick and its a pretty good size drop to. But it was a piece of cake for that little shit.


I wasnt really into this ditch to much but it was pretty cool. Its called the Baby Skull Ditch. I have no clue why. But there was a shit ton of dirt and random stuff all over so Collin had to go to Home Depot and buy a shovel because the little broom just wasnt doing it. Once again Izzak did something really fucked up and it involved a breakless nosepick in soft dirt hahaha. You'll have to wait for the clip.....

It was a good trip and this is only moments of a great week I spent with one of the best teams there is. It was really good to have the whole US team in one place just going out to spots, gettin clips, gettin blazed, chillin hard and just having fun riding!!!!
