Vans Team Trip – Lithuania Pt. III

We found a nice little gap to flatrail where Will managed to punch his future self into blurryness. Switch tail270 bang.

After a crazy day at the Tauras venture and picking up Max de Vries we were ready for some getting down to business. We scoped the area ourselves and found a pretty dope looking quadkink which we hadn’t seen in Vytas’ spotguide or anywhere else for that matter. Would’ve been nice to warm up for Max on a more mellow spot than a beasty rail like this but he was stoked nonetheless. The fact he got ass-raped on his first try getting on the rail wasn’t that great but he took it like a man and sat out the session. Since it was a saturday night and it was near some kind of partyzone, or maybe people in Lithuania just drink in the streets a lot, we were treated to all kind of beveraged-up people. We even got offered some which we in turn of course gladly accepted. Lithuanian beer is pretty darn tasty.

: Max hyped to be on foreign grounds.

: Big Cheese warming up with a smooth back50.

: The next day I dug out a whole stairset while Tim and Max shoveled a giant pile of snow to form a dropin and fixed up the lip. G and Cees went to pick up our last addition to the crew none other than UK’s finest Will Smith. Then they came over and Gerrit got artsy on a snack.

: Everybody putting in work.

: Some fieldpost perspective in the blue shades of the day.

: Conehead Will showing off his crispy Lithas, the national currency.

: The first of many Cili Pica dinners, that’s how you write pizza in Lithuania.

: Funny man G posing up at a weird rail we spotted.

: Cees testing out the last part of it flexing.

: We decided to session the green rail all day and Tim was down. Proper filmer lean.

: A plane flew over.

: Cees was hyped on getting some backtails on this thing but his knee still wasn’t functioning properly so he didn’t manage to ride away from one.

: Max smoothing out the dropin for G.

: If you’ve had your eyes open you’ve probably already seen this backnosepress from Max.

: We went to a nice rail redirect wallride and the Hate Hard crew joined in on the sesh. Tim isn’t too sure about the way one of them first try frontblunted it to backslide cartwheel drop.

: Will wanted to navigate around the corner and came close a few times reverting on the landing and such never really getting it the way he envisioned. He got some good shit that day though on the green rail and here he stomped the fuck outta some shit as well.
