Following the success of the ‘FreeRide Project’ Movie that we produced at the end of 2011 after full years riding, we have decided to start work on the FreeRide Project 2. We kicked off 2013 in Cape Town, South Africa spending the season over there getting some riding in and re-connecting with the crew! (Hadlow, Court, Light and Boulding). True to form we where as unorganised as ever and all on our own schedules, none the less we have made a start…here is the pre-view to get the taste buds flowing:
The FRP2 will span the globe following the UKcrew riders Aaron Hadlow, Tom Court, Sam Light and James Boulding. We will hit some different countries, new locations and ride with the local crew’s wherever we go…expect to see some action from more riders in this movie!!
We lost a skateboarder, a friend, and most of all a truly good person.
Lewis lived his life with Diabetes, the kind were you’d need to check your blood for it’s insulin levels and give your self a shot sometimes twice a day. Oh he’d let you know every day he had diabetes 🙂 he’d ask before every spot, “Oi – how far is the nearest store, Oi – I need to eat, Oi – how long are we gonna be here? I need food” I look back at this and smile, at the time I’d be like, “c-mon really…?” He was really good a misplacing his insulin pen, I helped him find it quite a few times, and remember how psyched he’d be to find it under his mess of shopping bags he’d bring on every session, OHHHH the shopping bags – they’d be rustling around making all sorts of noise in the car, hotel room; he’d have all his gummy worms, sour patch kids, all sorts of sugary foods to keep his levels were they needed to be.
