Eastern Filming Trip Photo Overload!

I, along with Adam Banton, recently went on an Eastern road trip to film for the upcoming Eastern Bike's full length video titled, "Death of Fun." This trip was from April 14th to the 20th. During this week we ventured through Raleigh, Winston-Salem, and Charlotte, NC and as well as Greenville, SC. I must say my first Eastern trip was very productive and a lot of fun. It was definitely a good time hanging out with Adam Banton, Leigh Ramsdell, Zach Rogers, The Mangler, Terrel Gordy, Byran Byrd, and the rest of the Eastern crew and all the local riders we met along on our trip. Below are photos from the trip with brief descriptions. Check it!

Here's a shot I took on the start of my trip to North Carolina on the plane.

This is a photo at an amazing secret spot. You'll just have to wait for the video to fully see what all was here and what all went down here.

food

I love good vegetarian food. This is my dinner I had at a Tai restaurant in Raleigh, NC. Yummm!

Here is my bike along with Adam Banton's, and Leigh Ramsdell's on the bike rack.

Eastern rider Zach Rogers was able to be with us for the last half of the trip, which was awesome. Here Zach is doing an x-up luc-e stall. Zach also is on my shop's team, too. Heck yeah!

skatepark

This park was called "No Name" and was in Greenville, SC. We didn't get to ride here for long and I wish we could of had more time. The lines here were endless.

iphone

Here is a custom modification of Adam Banton's phone, Terrel Gordy's truck, and some Eastern stickers to top it off. It made for a perfect TV for the drive from Greenville, SC back to Charlotte, NC.

Filming will still be underway for the next few months. So expect more Eastern trip updates on the progress of the video coming soon.
