JBS - Local Tage
JBS lads Brad Ackerman, Ollie Thompson and Perry Grant are straight up leading the charge in British tech riding, and the fact that they ride together weekly along with Brandon James, means they are constantly pushing each other. There are some insane combos in here, but perhaps what's most impressive are the lines - Perry's mini run is outrageously difficult. But my favourite part is that after hearing some folks upset about Brad's change in riding focus; he proves that he hasn't changed his riding, it's just that he can do freakin everything now!
Watch out for bad language kids...

Weekend Cruisin
Not exactly sure who is in this video, but i do know they are pretty darn rad! As it comes from Ian Herncjar i guess he is the protagonist, but as they all slay in a highly awesome way, i don't even really care. Just watch it and enjoy! Feebs 7 and 540 are frickin cool!
