Matty is going to destroy this comp! After that we hopped on our bikes and pedaled over to a local Huntington Beach middle school to see what kind of fun stuff we could ride! We found some crazy ledge set up that we rode for a couple hours and i did one of the craziest manual to tail whips that i have ever done! Then I got my good friend and his crazy Nissan GT-R to come meet up with us so we can check this insane godzilla out! The car has 700WHP and has a rocket bunny wide body kit with gorgeous bronze Volk TE37s!! The car is the craziest Nissan GT-R ever! Co Co took Big Boy for a ride and his reaction was priceless!
