After years of talking about crossing the pond to California to escape the cold UK winter, myself (Ryan Nangle), Marcel Hunt and Tim Peckham finally made it happen. We met up with Ray George, Dartmoor's US rider, who hooked us up and gave us a tour around some of the best spots.

The Cliff jumps weren't the biggest set of jumps we rode on the trip, but they had the best view by far.

Unturndown on the last jump. If the UK had a spot next to the sea like this it would probably be unridable for 99% of the year because of gale force winds, but not in California.

Ray George was a sick tour guide for the trip and he shreds hard, watch out for him at some FMB stops this year because he's gonna kill it. 360 invert.


Check back next week for part 2!

 If you're going to trek all the way to the states, at least ride some trails! C'mon, let's see some Pacifica, UCSC, or Marin gnar. Sick riding no doubt, but how many videos have we already seen of these DJs already?

 I consider myself one lucky bloke. Expat Brit from South East Essex ended up moving to Nor Cal and living in Pacifica. Went for my first ride without knowing what was on my doorstep and it blew my mind.......... Good to see you guys having fun in Cali.

 It's not about just coming here and riding,it's about experiencing a whole different culture and a being half way around the world...and believe me Santa Cruz a a whole different culture ha but it's also about meeting new people and shredding with new friends!
