Here’s what Tristan had to say about the trip “This was an unforgettable experience to ride in California and ride all these amazing places and meet all these great people. I had a blast and these are the clips that me and Dustin got while I was in California. We rode a concrete ditch that was a few minutes from Dustin’s place, we also rode Stolen’s Vault Skatepark and a little cement skatepark that was on the way to Stolen’s Headquarters, we also rode Ben Snowden’s Backyard and Woodward West. I got to learn a few new tricks while I was in California including Tailwhip airs, some new footjam variations, and I pulled my first Frontflip. Bryce Tryon was also in a few clips, including his first Backflip Barspin.”

“Awesome scene at the Twin Cities Fantasy Factory in Minneapolis. Glenn Dussl with the turndown. -km” http://instagr.am/p/HK7HMblMPL/
And Mark Lukens’ famous tattoo!!
“Anyone have a brake cable and some forks? 45-year-old Mark Lukens. Lifer. -km” http://instagr.am/p/HK-2fCFMAH/
A bit of history about The Factory, Evan Moyle & Dustin Grice, and a handful of local riders & supportive parents started this simple place just over one year ago in Minnesota by chipping in $100/month for their own keys, 24hr access, & actually give the Minnesota bike scene a big box jump & quarters. Resi is removable. It is realistic & possible to have your own riding facility:)) Thanks to all !!

Happy Thanksgiving from TCFF
We wish all of you a very happy Thanksgiving with all of your families this weekend. We have a little laugh from Dustin Grice, who back in March of 2005 thought it would be a good idea to take up close photos of a domestic raised turkey about 3′ tall that was walking across the road near Lake Minnetonka… Might as well hit the record button on the camera while you’re runnin !! It even tore through his shirt !!
