Usually in the wintertime, a bunch of pro riders come to Aptos because the conditions are perfect for riding. Most of the riders live where it is either snowing or raining really hard right now, but Aptos has such a good scene at this time of year that everyone basically moves there for the winter.

This past week in Aptos, we rode with the likes of Adam Hauck, Brandon Semenauk, Aaron Chase, Darren Bearcloth, Paul Basagoitia, and a bunch of other Canadian shredders. The usual Aptos crew of Alex Reveles, Ryan Howard, myself, and a bunch of other locs were in full force. We took all the visitors on a tour de Santa Cruz and showed them some secret spots that only a few know about. The session lasted for four days straight because there are so many sick dirt jump spots right now. Everyone took full advantage of the conditions and rode to the best of their abilities, throwing insane tricks and pulling out new lines that no one has even thought about.

After an exhausting four days, everyone left town, so I decided to drive to LA and take a little vacation. I think I’m going to rent a beach cruiser with one of my good friends and take in the sun. Until next time!
