This may be one of the last Europe videos. Meaning pretty soon we're gonna have to start posting videos that weren't filmed last year. In this video we made it back to Karlstad, Sweden, built the bikes for the first time in like a week, and drove to Orebro to ride a pretty impressive skatepark. The next day we made the trek back to Stockholm, locked our bags up, almost slept in a subway station, and Mason went back to America. I went to Budapest.

FLBMX put on a second annual Florida Gold video contest to go along with the skatepark contest series and we decided to participate this year. So this is pretty different from our typical style of videos. Music and bike riding. That's it. No sleeping in cars. No setting up tents in illegal places. Just a BMX video filmed all around Florida.

So this turned out to be more of a hiking documentary than a normal video. I ended up just narrating behind the camera while we hiked for 11 hours. This hike is kind of the reason this whole trip started. We saw photos of people sitting on the edge of this famous cliff (Trolltunga) and decided to book tickets to Northern Europe to see it for ourselves. We started out in Karlstad, Sweden where we stayed with Danny's friend for a couple of days after leaving Stockholm. Then we started our 3 day mission to Norway. We slept for 2...

So this is clearly part 2 of this Whipsnake trip. We once again show up in the pitch black and set up camp in the dark. This was Tristan and Zach's first trip up here so they were beyond overwhelmed by the insanity of this place. (For those of you that don't know, an artist/skater/genius/great guy by the name of Tom Risser built this masterpiece of a skatepark in the middle of the woods and is nice enough to let others ride/skate it.) We rode all day, took a tour of his art scattered throughout the woods, and eventually started...

So we went to Whipsnake again. (The hidden skatepark in the middle of nowhere in South Carolina with no address or phone service.) But the video was so long that we split it into two. So there's technically no footage of Whipsnake in this video. But we did stop at a park in Georgia that has a stair set and several handrails in the middle of a bowl corner. We also slept at Zach's Grandma's house (again) and rode another incredible park the next day.
