The Drive: Jart Day 8

Endless wait in the motel parking lot. Seems someone forgot to arrange a way back for Nick and Ricky to get back to Spain and get their flights to US two days later. Oops.

I decided to shoot some evidence for the smallest/biggest bags of the trip. This was the smallest, which might not seem too small but I tell you he didn’t even use ¾ of its space.

Ricky, on the other hand, got the biggest one – but still not as big as Antiz rider Julian Dykmans’ one though.

I think we waited there for 3 and half hours.

After finally leaving the motel, we stopped half an hour later to eat in a gas station. After eating, the TM decided it was the perfect time to start a fire the old school way. Obviously, the strong wind blocked his intentions. But hey, on those 3 hour gas station stop we saw some Ferraris coming from a race or event, or whatever. How nice.

Jan, in a random stop to wait the van to catch up.

And we made it to Cologne. Die Fantastisch Dom.

Rain was present again, so it was time to call it the end of trip. One last photo before the end.

Sleeping in skateparks sounds like such a great idea – if you’re a kid maybe. The get up and go attitude of the 9 am morning skater in South Germany does definitely not gel with the get drunk enough so you can fall asleep in a bowl attitude of a team of reprobates on tour. Them’s the breaks..

A familiar site, Pete with his arm over his eyes after being woken early by the sun – or a ‘morning skater’.

Remy getting some in the early hours.

Eventually found our way to this thing, where i managed to slam on my cock.

It’s like a fucking Madonna video round here.

Or maybe a mid 90s boy-band video.

Or maybe a Pee Wee Herman film.

Murl shut the spot down so we bounced. It was hot so we searched for a place to jump off a bridge. A dead end turned up a window full of mannequin heads.

Found a place eventually. It was pretty grimy though.

You think it’s deep enough to jump from the bridge?

Hirschi had better hope so.

That wraps up our blog from The Drive but keep an eye out for issue 96 of Kingpin for the full report from all the teams, some pictures of people being stupid and a DVD containing each team’s edit.

Can’t wait for next year.

The final drive to Cologne: when blue marker pens go wrong…

8am departure from Vienna to Cologne.

Jarne and Nassim showed up 1 hour late, straight from a party with no sleep.

Too easy to not take advantage of the situation.

It could be enough…

But it’s not!

Guillaume did that on purpose. Fair play!

Too late to complain. Push the game to the limit.

Finally arrived in Cologne to meet the crew 2 hours late. Time to count the points and figure out who’s the winner !!!
