NASS Report By R1 Rider Sam Currie

We're back from NASS and here’s a little post to let you know what we've been up to. We didn't do too good on the photo front I'm afraid, there were loads of good friends there we haven't seen for ages, so our time was consumed with good conversation and many a brewski. There was a massive turn out this year and they had really hooked it up for the riders too, we had a massive athlete lounge complete with X-Box's, foosball, tiger skin rugs, massive couches and bean bags everywhere, free fruit, free beer, free nandos, a DJ and a hot tub.

The competition was fun, the park was pretty tricky but everyone managed to squeeze some nice tricks out of it. Lee (Mainland) decided he couldn't be arsed to compete and when they called his name he scampered off and we didn't see him for three hours. I enjoyed watching the bmx guys shred the course. (it was designed for them as usual…)

We hung out at the Kingdom booth and mooched around the trade stands a bit, this is where Lee discovered his natural talent for snakeboarding. He couldn't quite master the random roller skate style skateboards though.


The nights were wild, we kept ending up in some random drum and base barn. Lee also spent half an hour trying to convince a bar lady to accept a completely ripped in half fiver and eventually succeeded by taping it together with stickers he found on the floor.


We managed to leave just in time because it p****d it down pretty much as soon as we got in the car. The journey home was super slow with loads of traffic on the motorways. We hit up little chef for some traditional bad road food and when we eventually got back we hung out with Lee's dogs for a bit and then parted ways for some much needed rest.

Cheers Sam, check out his profile here.
