2020 was a hell of a year, but we know that didn't stop Trey Jones. With the world closed down, Trey unlocked a laundry list of new and old spots and documented it all using his collection of older cameras and DIY mentality.
Max Gaertig has been consistently killing it for decades now, so whenever we get a new video from this guy we get hyped. Max found some lost tapes on his hard drive and combined them with some fresh footage to bring you just over two and a half minutes of Max G goodness.
