Summer Of Shred: New Zealand, Part One

Apr 5, 2008

Phil Sundbaum met with world cup racer Justin Leov for the next stop of the Summer Of Shred world tour. They rode epic trails all over New Zealand together, here is the video footage from the first half of their trip.

The Summer Of Shred world tour featuring Phil Sundbaum is kicking into high gear after an amazing trip to New Zealand to ride with Justin Leov. Phil's Haro and Gravity Components teammate Eric Porter was also on hand to session New Zealand with the crew, hitting up trails all over the South Island.

This is the first half of the video footage from the trip, featuring Wellington (North Island), Blenheim and Wakamarina. This footage represents the first three days of a ten day trip through New Zealand. The next video will feature a heli trip in Nelson, Queenstown's Mini-Dream and Dreamtrack, the Frew Farm and everything in between.


Stay tuned for part two of the New Zealand portion of Summer Of Shred, which will be dropping soon!
