The 2012 Downhill Disco: A Gnar-Gnar Preview

This weekend’s 2012 Downhill Disco was off-the-chisel, -chain, and -charts! Crazy obstacles, hella skaters, and gnarly shredding. We’re currently working on putting together a sweet full-length article of the event, as we speak. Check back regularly as the article will be dropping real soon.

In the meantime, take a close look at this crazy photo of our homie Brian Bishop during the longest air jam. This is one of the gnarlier bails from that session.

Anyway, there is a whole lot going on in this picture. Click on the image to view the larger photo.

Stay tuned for much, much more. . .
