After Giovanni’s successful trip mentionned on our Facebook page at the start of the week, it is time for another journey to take place in sunny Portugal. On the 22nd April Thib and Romain will skate the 377km between Lisbon and Porto in about 10 days for the fun of skating. These guys have been training hard, attending recent events including the Icy Annecy Push Race and last...
Last episode, the crew journeyed into the Saharan dunes for a romantic evening with camels and two days lathered in sunscreen. A three day break altogether from skating makes them eager to get back on the road, starting from Ourzazate, traveling east through Valee Du Dades, coincidentally for the Festival of the Roses in El Kelaa M’gouna. Passing off...
After accomplishing the highest mountain pass in Morocco on skateboard, the three are graced with a wonderful tailwind and smooth pavement to the small city of Ourzazate. Strapping on Sporting Sails for the evening and catching magical tailwinds does not foreshadow what Adam, Paul, and Aaron are about to encounter. Skating the Vallee Du Draa to its dead end in...
14 minutes of Longtreks! Our terrible trio goes from being lost in the souks of Marrakech to combing the High Atlas mountains in search of the Lost Peak “Tizi n’tischka”. This episode, enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells (scratch and sniff) of Marakech. Weave and wind the twisted streets, past riads, merchants, and snake charmers. Clean off the grime...
It’s Longtreks time again We are SO stoked when the newest video comes out. Part 3 of Longtreks Morocco: Safi to Marrakech and the 3 Dees of Danger
We are stoked on Longtreks Friday. You should be too! The cultural exchange between longboarders and Moroccans seems to be going very well! Paul, Adam, and Aaron are invited by the most hospitable locals, receive large smiles from children and elders, and exchange tribal music. It’s their second day on the road, and chip seal pavement jitters their bones....
The 2011 re-release of the Long Treks Demonseed is HERE! Rayne Team Rider Paul Kent has been tweaking the design of the Demonseed over the past few years and to create the fastest, most efficient distance skating or commuting board ever made. This deck is an adaptation of the Rayne Demonseed but there are a slew of important changes...
Adam Colton makes an escape. Aaron and Paul fuel up on cookies to catch Adam. The case is on. Diarrhea sickness attacks, Adam and Aaron and they are weak. The team all gets split up. The stretches are long with little to no food. Paul and Adam rejoin and finish the trip to Potosi. Aaron fights a crazy battle...
Waking up at 4:30am to beat the traffic into La Paz was slow going and paid a toll on our lungs. Inhaling smog and dodging Traffic we make it into La Paz, Bolivia alive and enjoy empanadas. There we spend 5 days chilling out, eating good food, climbing roofs and venturing around with our Canadian lady friends we met in...
