Ridin Dirty South: FU CRUE Invades Trife Street

This past weekend has been pretty crazy with the invasion of our house by the FU Crue of Nashville. I talked to Shane on Wednesday and he informed me that it was about 9 of them coming down. I thought that was a bunch but 9 turned into 13. Sounds pretty hectic but we had a really fun time. Other than the fact that when skating with a crew of 15 or more, everything takes a really long time, gas station stops, waking up, getting food, and when you are at the spot. This also means that no matter what spot you go to, someone is gunna shred it. We skated hard everyday, and partied just as hard. FU shut Memphis down, enough said. Tricks went down that have never been done and who knows if they will happen again at some of Memphis' classic crust spots. Big props to all the homies that came into Memphis to shred. Joe, Andrew, Ethan, Dathan, Shane, Cameron, Zorro, Big Dan, Angel, Christian, Wesley Breakin The Lawson, and I feel like i've forgotten someone. It was fun, Hope to see you guys soon!

This is one of the first spots we hit when everyone showed up. The first car was in town Thursday night, so we actually hit a bunch of spots on Friday before the rest got here. I somehow lost a picture of Joe gettin a 180 Nosegrind 180 out on the Vance kinked ledge, that was a sick one. This steep ass bank with a hole in the bottom has seen very few successful roll aways. A long time ago, BCB crew Joeseph did a kickflip into it and it was amazing. Years later, kickflips are common. The FU Crue steers clear of common and ABDs. Shane with a 360 Shuv, Cameron with a pop in manual all the way down! Zorro perfect varial heelflip and 2nd try 360 flip. And the most amazing trick was Dee with a fakie flip to switch bomb. Theres no way anyone wants to step to that! Trust me, its steeper than it looks in photos.

We even found local spots, at our spots, that we had never seen. This is a sick 8 stair wallride potential. Even sicker, a perfect 13 rail and hubba. Memphis doesn't have a such thing as perfect so when you find one, its amazing. I didn't get any photos of the rail but Bambei 5050d it 1st go! Lipslide in just a few tries, and hammer laying Dee FS boardslide because Reynolds demands it!

After a sick last night session and only 3 FU Crue members remain, we decided the only way to end the trip was burn all the brush away from our spot. We had been schwillin lots of brew before and Urban Arson seemed like a good plan!
