Freestyle Now squad member Tim Rose sent in these few words and a few photos from his recent trip in America with fellow squad member Kie Ashworth and good friend Jake Coreless
“Hey all, after hitting trails for two weeks we packed up the jeep n headed south to Philadelphia. Weather had gotten pretty sour at this point, and we were able to witness some crazy mid October snow storm breaking a 32 year record or something!! After a quick look on Google we found FDR was a 4 km ride from our hotel, blessed with some amazing weather we spent a few days riding street in Philly. Kie’s good mate Tom White was pretty much our tour guide taking us around to some awesome spots. Once again we hit the road and made the 7 hour drive to Cleveland Ohio, hitting an indoor park named Rays MTB Park. This place is massive so many different things to ride you can get lost there, one of the locals showed us a room full of box jump rhythms that we hadn’t found yet. This is where our trip unfolded. Jake got a little loose on one of the lines there and got pitched over the bars straight into another bmx jump lip! Took a really hard slam! and got knocked out for over 1min and with his hand looking pretty bad, a trip the emergency room was made. A couple of hours and the news was surgery. We all decided making the trip back home was definitely going to be the better option. So we hauled ass back to New York. Not being able to get a flight straight away we spent the last days of our trip walking around the city checking out all the land marks. The place is absolutely massive and absolutely amazing! Was sad to leave, but we’ll be back next year. The trip was a blast, thanks to everyone who helped us out along the way”
