Antonio Marrache

About 2 or 3 years ago, Shayne K. was on one of his world wide tours. When he got back to Georgia, he had tales of these Peruvian riders. The scene he said was really good for the size, and the level was unbelievable high considering they ride whatever they can ride.

Antonio Marrache is one of those riders. After riding around the country with this dude, all I can say is this guy is talented, on and off his bike. I bet you guys don't even know about 10 cracks in a frame, and still riding like the bike is new.

I hope to make it to Peru sometime soon, I would like to meet Coco and Chino. I don't know which one he talked to the most on his Boost, but I will met you one day. Thanks also to B. Carter for the bio. If anyone deserve a sponsor its this guy.

Day 8

We headed south after York. Once we got to Athens, Dane Beardsley put us up for a few nights in Athens Ga. Riding in the south means you ride in the mornings or at night. Not much riding went down in Athens because of the heat.

Later that day we stopped off at the 17st parking deck to meet up with local John Simmons for a quick session. After a super hot session, we retired for the night. Next stop Orlando.

After a 8 hour drive from Atl, we arrived to the Wal-Mart parking lot to be greeted by Bob Walters. This dude is the best. He organized the jam within 24 hours. It was cool seeing Tyler in town, he's been on tour with 2-Hip. A lot of new faces are down there killing it. Watch out for these guys.

Next stop, non stop to Newport Beach Ca

Day 7

Ok we finally got to York Pa, were the final AmFlat Circuit was going down. The locals of York are so awesome. Those dudes know how to surf the concrete waves for sure. It was also a honor to sit next to legend, Kevin Jones, who also happens to be a proud owner of a new Primo Kevlar Comet and a set of Primo plastic pedals.

Next stop Athens Ga.

Chocolate city

An hour before arriving in Newark, Brian Tunney alerts the One Love Crew that 11 shootings went down last night. Apparently, the summer heat has got everyone in the hood acting foolish and lighting each other up.

No problems so far for our crew, besides a flat tire at the mercy of a broken 40oz on the sidewalk. Luckily Primo has our backs, so no problems there.

We sessioned with some NY locals today in Manhattan before getting rained out by a freak early evening storm.

The Chinese delivery dude said we were good people, the recession is closing down chicken shacks, tonight's blunt burned for an hour, and we're missing a Stephen Marley (and Damian & Nas) concert Saturday night to go to a flatland contest. That's the hood news for the night. Check out today's edit...

Next stop, FlowMountain.
