Meanwhile 2 is looking like it’s coming together very quickly. Here are the latest photos direct from Freestyle Skateparks taken this weekend.

The Flip team cruised into London and ran riot at Bay Sixty 6 skatepark.

Mark Appleyard, Rodrigo TX and Willow led the experienced charge alongside new pro David Gonzales whilst the Flip superams Curren Caples, Luan De Oliveira, Axel Cruysbergs and Louis Lopez showed just why they have am status on Flip. They rocked the place.

Unfortunately Geoff Rowley folded his ankle on a dawn handrail mission on Thursday and could not fly whilst Tom Penny has an appointment at the US embassy in Argentina which he has to go to to get back to the US to finish up his video part. Despite these guys missing the European tour, the rest of the team provided bangers. Look out for interview video on this site early next week and the full edit of the skating by Friday.

Thanks to Flip, all at Shiner Distribution, Sidewalk Mag, Bay 66, Andy Evans, Alan Christensen and especially you if you made it down to support the event. The team will be in in Stoke and Derby on Tuesday 1st, don’t miss them.
