Remember that time at the old shop that Dan Lacey, Bruno Hoffman, Dak Roche and Ty Morrow dropped by for a riding session in the car park and hung out?
Yeah I hadn't thought of it for a while either but one of our customers called up today and mentioned it so I thought I'd re-up it for everyone to check out again. It happened, the guys were cool as, just got off the plane from some long flights in from Europe and the US and built their bikes up straight away to come down to the shop, meet the locals and have a roll. Legends.
Vans bought the team out to film for their first full length vid "Illustrated" and got the spot tour from Perth to Cali transplant and Vans pro rider Calvin Kosovich. This was 5 years ago in 2015, Illustrated dropped in 2016 and it was pretty cool to see some familiar Freo/Perth spots in the guys sections.
I really have to say it wouldn't have happened without Calvin, he has been flying the flag for West Oz over seas for years now and it was rad he talked Vans into coming out for a filming trip. Thanks CK.
Anyway Chris Hyland filmed and edited this little piece, Cheers Chris, which turned out pretty cool, take a trip down memory lane and see if you can spot yourself in there if you were there.
