Independent Tour Revisited

As you recall from last summer, the Independent team did their 30th anninversary tour.  When they came through, I was at Glenhaven for a session, and Tosh Townend, Brian Anderson, and others were ripping it up.  Lance Mountain, David Gravette, Chet Childress, etc. were casual observers of the session, sitting in the shade on a hot day.  Afterwards, the team went to Pier Park, where they met other members of this online community for a session.

You will be happy to know that Independent has the footage for viewing on their website.  You can view the video footage of the above session that Kilwag was shooting.  If I’m not mistaken, you can see MC on deck while Grosso grinds through the corner.  By the way, the Dwarves are rad.

    I think it’s grant taylor btw

  10. Grant Taylor’s is definately the goofy footed kid that’s killing it throughout this part (mostly in the green shirt). He’s actually Thomas Taylor’s son (New Deal vert ripper) so it still is running in the family…

  11. and that was Grant over the mousehole.

    his part in the new Alien Workshop video:
