Last year, Colombia's Sebastian Martinez headed south to Chile to meet up with filmer Nicolas Barra - the result is 'CUÁTICO'! Just under 4 minutes of hits from the streets, parks and dirt of Chile. Bars, whip, and spins like they're nothing.
Always sad to say goodbye to California. Monday morning and we packed up, left Solarena and drove to Denny's on Beach and Ellis. Don't ask me why but it has become "a thing" to have a bigger breakfast on the day we leave. It was the Grand Slam or whatever slam it was that got us ready for the trip back home. $55 later and we drove up North on Beach to the 405 North and actually had plenty of time to spare as we did not seem to hit any traffic. You see, instead of the 13:40hr departure time it was moved to 15:15hr. KLM had informed us so we had extra time before dropping the vehicle off. But with several businesses closed on Monday (morning) we decided to just drive to Hertz to drop off the Rogue. When you're not in a rush, things seem to go smoothly. The shuttle bus to the airport was right there, dropped us off at the international terminal, we dropped off the bags through the Priority lane (22.4 kilograms with a 23kg limit) and could check in the two smaller Albek/Twin Air roller bags as well, which left us with the essentials in the backpack to take on board.
With a bit of gambling we scored a window seat each with a free seat next to us. I had a bit of extra leg room and Philip was only 6 seats behind. Getting to pick your seat is nice. The hopes of having an entire row to ourselves was destroyed real soon, but no complaints.
But before we got on board, we got to hang out with the bar man at the Air France/KLM lounge.

Man kann mit Fug und Recht behaupten, dass es beim New Year Jam in der brandneuen Halle von Trendsport Basel gut abging. Ein Fahrer stach aus der Schar motivierter Crossrädchenakkrobat:innen ganz besonders heraus. Sein Name: Alessio Tonoli!
Video Highlights of a BMX Contest
Sunday, last full day in Cali, and it was cloudy. So weird, haha. But we did come prepared and brought warm clothes, even a rain jacket. We've got plenty and need them all the time in The Netherlands but normally in So Cal not so much. Anyway, preparation is key. We had planned to meet up with McGoo that day but it didn't work out in the end. We still headed that direction and stopped at the Kawasaki test track and then searched for the other test tracks at the next exit. We drove up the hill and did not see anything. But we felt we were close. We parked the Rogue, hiked up a bit to discover 6 Supercross test tracks! Exploring is fun, especially when you find something you were looking for.
