Yo whats up guys this is Gator from the road on the Local Exposure Tour 4. We left about a week ago from North Carolina and landed in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Thursday. I then met up with Rob Wise and Mirra Co. sales manager Mike Russell and went out to ABC Bike Shop a local dealer. After Rob and I took a few laps around with custom bikes made by the mechanics it was time to meet up with everyone back at the hotel. After a night of catching up with old friends and meeting a few new ones we hit the park up for the first demo where the locals owned the place. (Editors note: Chase Hawk goes really high and Dave Rytell will ride anything in his way and kill it.). After a small photo session it was time to pack up and head to Mesa, Arizona. The second stop had about 300 kids on bikes and locals hucking it. One local that stood out was Jonny Stevens that actually ended up winning stop three. Stop 3 was my favorite stop so far. This park was on an Indian reservation and had dirt jumps that KC Badger built. Mike Laird foot jammed this 5 ft. subrail out of a 5 ft. quarter. Rob Wise and I had a good session on the dirt where later Rytell joined us. You can catch extra photos on Vitalbmx. Well I am out, check back soon for more pics and crazy stories from L.E.T. 4. 1LOV, GATOR PS: All of us here at Mirra Co. would like to send our condolences to all the victims and families at Virginia Tech.
