Blunt and Fasen Stop at the ATBShop Skatewarehouse on their UK Tour,
After a few begging emails to the guys over at Blunt they finally agreed to come over to the ATBShop Skate Warehouse in Swindon.
We were all really nervous not only because these guys are like scooter royalty, but also because the Blunt and Fasen team have such a jam packed schedule. The next day they were taking part in the UK’s first downhill dirt scooter event down the road at our friends mountainboard and dirt scooter park, Bugs Boarding .
Since the announcement that they were coming down on that Friday, the phone hadn’t stopped ringing with people announcing that they were travelling from as far afield as Milton Keynes, so we knew that this event was going to be massive!
True to their word the Blunt and Fasen team turned up nice and early. The riders at the park went mental for them as soon as they arrived. One of the riders literally ran into the park and screamed “The Blunt team are here!” Hysteria hand landed!
After a quick introduction and drink (Can of Monster not alcohol) the lads filtered into the Warehouse and started busting out their signature tricks.
To our locals, The Blunt and Fasen team riders were more than just talented riders. The likes of Max Peters and Brendon Smith etc. are our local’s heroes. Some of our riders said they couldn’t believe that they were going to get to meet them that night after watching them for years on edits in the US and Australia. The whole atmosphere to the team arriving was literally electric.
All our local riders fully embraced the Blunt and Fasen team in the park. Our locals had been working on some new material to show off as the UK tour was also an opportunity for Blunt team to find a new UK rider.
After one of the BEST sessions I’d ever seen in the Warehouse the Blunt and Fasen team set about with a few throw outs which the riders went mental for. There was also an opportunity to get T-Shirts, scooters, helmets and limbs signed. The Blunt and Fasen team were so patient as the queue never seemed to die down at the Blunt and Fasen team took the time to chat with all the riders who’d come to see them.
All in all the Blunt and Fasen team killed it in the park and the night was a huge success. The Blunt and Fasen team loved our new indoor Park and new showroom and said they’d be back to visit ATBShop again real soon.
We hope you guys do soon!
