Team Jeff DuPaul – X Wheels Session

April 7, 2011

Last month Jeff DuPaul, Denny Pascasio, Chris Childs, Dylan Stark and James Lukas had a bit of trouble getting through customs into Canada for the Toronto BMX Jam. They were told to come back to the boarder the next day (midnight), so with a bunch of time to kill they decided to hit X Wheels for a pre-Toronto party session. This is what went down. They made it into Canada the next go and good times were had…. Well, well if you consider 11 dudes including myself in the hotel room a good time.
