Eastern La Revolution France Tour Final PostThe Eastern La Revolution trip is over and it was great. Read on... |
Our trip is over and man it was a great one. The rain kept us out of France most of the time but Barcelona was a hit. We are putting together a video that will be included in Soul Magazine and we'll put it on our site right after it's out. A teaser will drop will soon. I have to thanks Sunex big time for hooking everything up and a huge shout out to François for driving us around and taken real good care of us. It was also good to hang out with Vincent Perraud who was there to shoot a story for Soul Magazine. Enjoy the post from our last few days in Spain and France...

Karl did some good stuff at this spot. I, on the other hand am just being an idiot.

Damn, I'm even bowlegged when I sit down. Here I am filming Eric and Josh is watching. Karl took this photo.

And Karl also shot this photo of Eric whipping the banks.

Eric thinking about his line here. It was a good one. (Photo: Vincent "Perave" Perraud)

Josh Perry testing out this rail with an Icepick.

At this spot an eleven year old kid was smoking a cig. Eric smoked it over this rail. This isn't the only thing he did over it...

This is the other BMX shop in Barcelona, Republica Bikes. A cool shop for sure!

This is an awesome art/bike display inside Republica Bike.

Hanging out with the locals in Rebulica Bikes. The guy in the middle is Fernando who showwed us some incredible spots. Thanks man!
He also does this blog so go check it out; http://lacostanorte.blogspot.com/

I bought a post card with this building on it. The morning we left I got up early and walked around some. This place was just a
block away from our apartment.

On the way back to France we stopped here. Eric made good use of this spot.

This was another place we hit up on the way to France. Everyone had tons of
Fun at this hump. Here I am riding up and over to feeble.

This is the man that captured the trip on film for Soul BMX Magazine, Vincent Perraud.

Karl doing a fakie over the door.

And shortly after doing the fakie Karl had the camera in his hand to film the other guys. Talk about a team player.

The sign to France from Barcelona.

Back in France and the weather was better than when we left. I really wanted to see more of France...next time.

It's a good thing I shot some scenery shots because Karl missed most of it.

Another scenery shot in France.

This was the last spot we checked out. It was super windy and cold plus every one was too tired to ride. Next time...

The end of an incredible trip. The hotel rooms were too small to take the bikes apart in so the hallway had to make due.
