“Not so long ago Josh Betley packed up his things and left Gilbert, Arizona, in search of greener pastures, but he didn’t even make it out of the desert. He settled in the sprawling land of neon and beige — Las Vegas — where he’s been quietly seeking new spots for the past few years. Since his family still lives in the Phoenix area, Josh often returns to the Valley for some quality time with his loved ones, and, of course, to session the spots from his childhood. I met up with Josh and friends for two days, before I exchanged the blistering Phoenix sun for the mild Minneapolis greenery. I managed to sneak in from of the camera more than usual, as recently injured Shane Reider took on filming duties. Music: The Baghdad Sun by Apollo Brown” – Bink / ESPN
