Dave over at The Merged is about to make the move to Germany. Before he leaves Brighton, England, he figured he better throw one last bash at The Level Skatepark! If you’re in the Brighton area, I highly suggest you plan to be at the park Saturday, May 31st because it’s going to be a rager. They have a bowl jam, highest bunny hop, best trick on the ledge & rail section and a best trick on the A-Frame section planned. There will also be product from Vans, Eclat, Federal Bikes and more being GIVEN AWAY and with MC Ant Barber on the mic all day long! Get there!
Origins – FBM and the MID Bottom Bracket
