We received some pictures fromt he second annual GIRLS TOUR. This year's version was sponsored by FOX clothing company and went all over the East with visits to New York City, New Hampshire, Ohio, all over... It took two weeks and according to Anita Hodgin it was a blast:
Woodward was our last stop and we had fun. They catered to us and gave us a place to sleep and ride. Every stop was like this. We went to
ECT park in Binghamton, New York and those guys are super rad. Heather broke her foot there but they gave her some cruthches and were real great guys...
FBM was in full effect with Crandel and the crew. They showed us around their shop and we received some insight as to how the frames and parts are made.
Studio 54 was fun and the owners are super cool. I forgot to bring my gear and they let me use some of theirs. That park is small, but every tranny is perfect. They couldn't have done a better job with the place.
According to Anita the session at Woodward went like this:
All I have to say is that after this session was done
Nina's doing one handers over the spine and
Stacey's doing x-ups all transferring the entire ressy spine. Nina was floating across the top too with her bad self. I got some toboggans done after a few frame grabs went well...I kept forgetting that it was a spine and I would have to right quick DIVE DIVE! I'm going over the handle bars at least 12 times jumping spines...I just know it. we got all the girls jumping the spine by the end of it...me Nina and Stacey kept yelling..."just fucking do it already". well I was yelling that but still....
Jessica almost dies but got it done quite a few times...
Maryanne looks fucking nuts all the time...in one picture you'll notice the look on her face is that of a person jumping from a fucking airplane or some shit...its fucking funny. Me Nina and Stacey session-d some rhythm section with three boxes in a row...but all different sizes. Each one of us did a trick over each one at one point...but you'll have to wait for Shook or the GKA show for that shit....peace and enjoy....
