Tulsa Trip

Young business moguls Ty Morrow and Miles Rogoish have concocted a brainchild. Combining their passion for filming and their inhuman shredding abilities, they have assembled a crew of 15 riders of their choice to start a new website, titled ‘The Trip.’ Now I’m not the type to go around spoiling a good surprise, so I’m gonna make you wait for all the juicy details. When the website drops July 1^st peoples feelings will be hurt. Ty and Miles are going hard with this one. I mean, Miles got the trip logo tatted on his face for pete’s sake. Anyway, these fools for some reason wanted me in their crew. Probably cause I’m the tough, mysterious type and they need someone to rough house people. I accepted. They also chose fellow Eastern Bikes representative and peg slasher Eric Holley. We both skidded down the runway into Tulsa, Oklahoma’s airport on a covert Trip filming mission early last week.

Previous to arrival, we didn’t realize we’d be staying in hell. Tulsa is a little trashcan city governed by bums and meth heads. This depressed economic situation makes for some of the craziest spots though. You know we shredded em, you’ll see. We stayed at Miles’ and Drew York’s air condition-less pad, along with approximately 10 other sweaty, dirty dudes. You can learn a lot about your friends when you’re basically blowing on each other to stay cool, no homo? I slept outside every night. Although the house was grimy, tight, and smelled like corpses, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. In a way, it was good motivation to go out and shred, swim, or just do something. Speaking of swimming, we did a lot of that. Temperatures hovered in the high 90’s every day, most of the time into the night. Riding was delayed to the later hours of the day and swimming in mansions was our daily routine. For real, we went to three different amazing mansions and soaked up the Tulsa rays. That was tight.

All in all, the trip was so sweet. Keep your head up for more Trip/Eastern global domination oh so very soon.

Immediately upon arrival me and Pat King got right to work on
a treehouse escape from the house carnage. I slept up there one night.

The landlord and coolest member of the house, Inda.

Drew York and other house mate John Swab are both incredible artists and had haunting pictures like this painted all throughout the house.

Mansion number one. Miles on the scoot.

You may think it’s all BMX all the time for Eric, but his archery skills are out of this world.

New side company, eastern hunting gear coming 2012.

Ditches and hose. These are everywhere in T-town.

Steve-O admiring all the new EB swag on eric’s bike. The lobster colorway matches his lobster burnt skin.

The bums love Eric, even when he 180’s their alley ways. He did some crazy stunts on this here little gap.
The video is gonna go platinum I swear.

About 1/3 of the trip crew, pool party division.

Me, really expanding my riding boundaries hitting a curved wallride for the first time.

Tulsa rats. These kids saw us shredding when their school bus passed by and they flew
straight over to show us their hip-hop moves and silver capped teeth.

Tammy is a nosewheelieing crazy gnome man 69er.

Lashaan is better than everyone at bikes and Buglers.

Despite what you may have read on the message boards and
this grind position, Steve-o isn't as crooked as people think.
