Murray Loubser hails from South Africa but made the trek out to California for 6 weeks with the squad. Murray seemingly has it all; absurd technical skill, a good eye for spots, clean style, and the urge to SEND IT on the big setups.
From conception to execution, and all of the trials and tribulations along the way, 11 hours and 236 tries later, Tate Roskelley’s Quarantine Contraption was a reality. Here’s a behind the scenes look at the entire process. Safe to say, Tate has a lot of patience!
This week is the first time that we are having good news about the quarantine. Starting right now, we are able to see people outside as long as we keep our distance to make sure everybody stay safe!

Went to North Carolina for 3 months for work with Rausch installing coke machines in fast food restaurants at night. We got to ride almost everyday. We also got to dig and ride gully trails with Binny Orrell. Thank you Mike for bringing me along and Binny for letting crash
"UK winters are generally horrendous for riding, even when it’s dry you’ve got too many thermals on to move. Myself and a couple mates decided to boycott as much of winter as we could and planned a 6 week riding trip to Stuttgart and then to Barcelona.
