The french love coffee, its like crack over there and its good to see Frenchys distro flowing a couple of guys with our shoes and giving them free coffee, this is a welcome edit to Ben Gea. What a sure fire caffeine induced winner!

The trip was insane, if you have never been to South By South West music festival in Austin then you really are missing out on something completely different. Imagine a great big cement mixer with every different kind of music scene inside and then it getting turned on. The trip for us wasnt just about SXSW, but instead it was the first time we had all met and rode together, so on March 15th 2011 Ben Hucke met Jared Washington and Jared Washington met Shane Weston and Shane Weston met Ben Hucke and we all hired a van and explored the endless city that is Austin, TX. Over the next month we will be building our micro site which will include a slideshow of photos shot on film by Jared, Ben, Shane and myself. An interview video, a trailer and of course the video itself.

Until then, take a look at some photos I shot out and about.

Answers on a postcard. Address: Texas.

I’m just hours away from leaving for Texas where i’ll be joined by Shane Weston, Jared Washington and Ben Hucke as we embark on our Texas trawl tour. You can imagine I’m busy, erasing SD cards, looking for passport, printing documents etc, and then Shane sends me this. The boy has some serious problems with going the right way on a bike. I cant wait to get out to Austin and ride with him, look out for some subs off the bench in this one. Edit by Nathan Williams.

Mike V joins the Almond family. We are stoked on this one….
