Nose wheelies on fire

There are many, many reasons why Rob Ridge is awesome, and this Youtube clip is just one of them: check the nosewheelie!
We were out in California a week or so ago, yep - it was on fire. While Chris's Lake Forest pad wasn't ablaze itself (thank goodness) for a few days the sky was orange, the air was filled with smoke, and a thin smattering of ash was everywhere - one day, driving back from the blue skies of Laguna to Lake Forest, check the eastwards view that spread out before us: the hills (just beyond Etnies / Soletch HQ, and Oakley's spaceship headquarters) were on fire...
Oh, and we stepped into Barnes & Noble in Irvine to buy up a bunch of good magazines and see what's what. They have a nice little stand featuring Recommended Mags and our Ride UK was on there! HA! In your face Ride USA. No wonder our overseas sales of the mag are killing it!
The amount and size of SUVs in the States right now is amazing. One of our studio neighbours has an Audi Q7 in the carpark here in Poole, and it dwarfs everything. However, Audi Q7s on an American highway, compared to everything else on there, look tiny... one thing with a big gigantic vehicle is that you can't really see where you're going.
Have a good weekend...
