Peta checks in…
Peta Shepherd sent in another update on her trip throughout the states… read on below.
Two days ago I left Salt Lake for Las Vegas with some mates. We had the best times along the way, we camped the first night in the hills of Utah, it was freezing! On the second day we drove to Snow Canyon and did some hiking and exploring, which was really awesome in the Lava flows. Then later that afternoon, while looking for a place to camp and rallying down some dirt roads, we got the van bogged for 4 hours which was very interesting…. It’s been the best fun so far and hope it keeps coming.

And all on a Sweet Tooth…
A while back I posted an edit on our site here from a Tim Knoll. It had some really original flatland/street moves which was amazing. Well, Tim needed a new frame a while back & he chose a Sweet Tooth for his new frame, I was stoked. Here is Tim’s latest edit & it’s got some completely original flatland/street moves on there. Check it out for sure.
