It seems to me that once you have been riding flat for a few years
that traveling to ride in a different city is the ultimate experience
to be had. Richard has been getting the itch to hit up different
spots and check out other scenes for a while now. I love to travel as
much as I can. So after a few conversations and some logistical
difficulties, we came upon Arizona. I was the one who had suggested
it because, well I lived there for quite a few years therefore I know
the whole situation pretty well. The flow of riders there always
varies a little from time to time but there are plenty of homies in
the mix. I travel to Phoenix every few months, so I keep a couple of
bikes at my boy Billy's to avoid the whole traveling with a bike
thing. I get really sick of taking my bike a part all the time so
lots of spare/old parts ended up equaling a spare bike to ride. It is
a bit heavier than my more current setup, so it can take some getting
use to riding. It feels sloppy and a little like a beast. I have been
calling it the "dream machine" or scrapland bike. It IS more
convenient but certain tricks are damn near impossible to adjust to
and pull off on it in such a short time. I guess that is the trade
off. It sometimes is more about hanging out than just strictly
riding. - Bill Freeman
