Remz - UK Tour

Mark and Paul from Devious, Remz’ distributors in the UK, rang me to set up a road trip down to London after the Chaz Invite contest a couple months ago.
The lads from Kingdom Magazine also had something planned with all the major UK riders (Al Jones, Albert Hooi, Nick Lomax, Oli Short, Zack Whitelaw, Simon Coburn, Ty Brissett, Adi Wallace, Si Cox, ....) and so we joined forces (I mean fun). the Kelsos and Farmer also were going to be with all of us but for some stupid immigration reason only Chris ended up being able to make it..
one more thing didn’t go quite according to plan, Franky’s plane ticket was unexpectedly canceled at the last minute and for no apparent reason.. long story short he couldn’t make it to the UK until Monday morning in Birmingham.

But everything went pretty smoothly that weekend, you probably saw the live update with pics of the comp.
In Remz news, Haffey suffered a wrist injury so he took it a bit easy after taking a fall on it, and the Woodster was seen cruising around all weekend as he usually likes to do. Dominik Wagner was there teaching everyone how to properly find a good line in the new 30,000 pounds bowl built by Chaz Sands and co. Kojot (Remz Poland) can play pingpong almost as good as he can skate.

The day after the comp (our first one on the road) all of us (2 full vans and several cars) headed to Liverpool for a session at Rampworx. A pretty good amount of kids showed up, the UK Remz riders were representing hard as you will see on the future remz edit. Lots of cool shit went down of course (like Haffey coming through with a couple hammers for example) but not so cool shit also went down: Nick took a bad hit on the knee and will most likely be out of commission for some days.. this is bad news of course, but the up side is that he’ll be boozing non stop and will crack us up all day long!
Session ended, kids got tons of free shit, and finally the night came and all of us went nuts in Liverpool. Zack came up, Ski scored, Woodster limped, Jones drank up, trouble followed… until 5 or 6am dwelling in the English city was a great time.
and leaving at 8am to go get Franky in Birmingham Airport may have saved us from getting in trouble after seriously fuckin up the hotel…
