I-Fried Tour – #tacticsskate
When the cold rain hits in Oregon, every skater gets the road trip itch, so we packed ten dudes in two vans for a winter getaway to the perpetually sunny skies of southern California. We’d been hearing epic stories from Cody Lockwood for months as he filmed for Ty Evan’s “The Flat Earth” with a broken wrist full of pins, so we picked up the recently recuperated ripper and set our sights on the film’s world premiere in Los Angeles. With a short timeline and a packed schedule, we fried our brains on lengthy freeway binges and all-night street missions, making the most of short days and endless California concrete. From an Afternoon at the Transworld Skatepark to classic schoolyard sessions, there was never a dull moment. Watch the video and check the photos to get fried on I-5. Featuring Noah Daniels, Wesley Brown, Austin Thonvivong, David Lobysuk, Drake Moody and Alex Lobysuk.
