After we met all participants of the roadtrip at the kunstform?! BMX Shop office (without Oli Kienzle from Stereo Bikes, Dan Paley and Fred Murray from DIG BMX Magazine and xmx from Freedom BMX Magazine) we prepared our tour buses for the long trip. Means we instaled a big screen and a Playstation 2 bought food and a lot of alcohol. The trip did start quite expensive but funny! After some hard soccer matches on the Playstation against
Daniel Fuhrmann (I won them all;) we startet to drink beer and make party while our driver (
Oli Radunz aka Ente) also took care about the music.
Our first stop was Lyon and after we noticed that its better not to let our buses alone at any parking place we decided to go to a campside in a suburb of Lyon. Because there was really no nightlife there we made our own party with a lot of beer and and Jägermeister. The next day it was time to start riding our bikes so we went to Lyon city again and we found a really nice Street and Flatland compatible Spot next to the river.
Chris Metzger ripped the Kurbs hard while
Roman Rommel, Flo Sailer, Daniel Fuhrmann and
Oliver Radunz had a nice Flatlandsession.
Til and
Patrick were responsible for pics and clips and so we got our first footage together. After two hours we all were really tired (of course because we were damaged from Jägermeister the night before) so we startet cooking some noodles in the caravan kitchen.
In the afternoon we went to some skatepark next to Lyon were
Daniel Fuhrmann showed that he not only has fucking good Flatlandskilz (Check the Clip for his first Ledggrind:).
So all in all we had some very nice and funny first days and now we are looking forward to meet the english guys and xmx in Marseille and Montpellier at the airport and check out the next spots there!
Next story soon!
