East Coast Destruction – Grant Bass: Legalize Ranch

July 7, 2015

Here’s a fresh one from from a golden hour session at the Bethlehem Skate Plaza out in Pennsylvania with Grant Bass for East Coast Destruction. Grant brings plenty of grind combos, barspins and tailwhips to the table for this BMX video and it turned out real good. We knew we were in for something good when this started out with the rocket hop tailwhip right off the bat! Not sure what the legalize ranch stuff is all about, but we like us some ranch on our food, so… Let’s go with that. Check it!
