Props Euro Megatour - Day 5

September 10, 2007 @ 6:39 AM by Robin Fenlon

The superb hotel we have been in for the past 3 nights has run out of rooms and we were forced to find another place to sleep. We're now sleeping in Hostel Hell just off the Ramblas. All was well until we tried to walk in with our bikes last night and a woman with a forehead like Robocop said we couldn't take them to our room not put them in the luggage room. A compromise was reached which involved her throwing the bikes out onto the street at 8am. Bitch.

Worse than that is no internet and not enough plug sockets to charge equipment.

Rack em up boys!

Yesterdays riding more than made up for the shitty hotel. We got the Metro to Fondo (with a short ride in between due to new track being replaced). Tons of stuff to ride and the best spot we've ridden so far... Ricky busted out a few moves and bad boy Bancroft stamped a Van Homan line...
Kye did a massive gap to wallride that you'll have to wait for print for. He is up for banger of the trip so far...

Ricky, fakie up the bank to table...

Silent shredders...

J Cox bum and Ricky fakie whipping

We then rode a big curved wall for a little while and me and Nathan got punctures again. Nathan tried to bump jump 180 up some stairs and after he got a flat I tried to snake his line. I was punished by my tyre popping off my new egg shaped wheel and exploding frightening half the street. Not a happy bunny.

"I think we need a bigger boat..."

Foot slapping icepick

Then it was back on the metro to the main drag for food and some street beers. We did actually live seeing a man lift up a drain and take out 12 beers! Then it was off to the Manchester bar for some reminiscing and back to Hostel Hell. We even had to pay for sheets to cover our bodies with. Come back Hotel Parallel! or Hotel Amika?

Smoker...

This morning Bancroft is riding down the beach and we're sat in Starbucks! The boys should be up soon for another day of savaging. A full on riding mix video will be online tomorrow so check it!

Coffee makes people do wierd things...

Kye cannot keep his eyes open when you are using a flash. Factoid.
