Felt BMX team riders Josh Betley and Jeff Wescott are on a month long trip in Europe. Josh is becoming a veteran at this and Jeff is on his first INT trip, should be a great time and we hope to see a lot of pics and video over the next few weeks. Josh started in Barcelona to explore while the NIKE comp was going on,(Barcelona is famous for street spots) the week after that he met up with Wescott in Amsterdam before making their way to Germany for the MASTERS event that Felt BMX sponsors. They are at Felt Gemany offices now and off to explore Germany with some of the Felt team guys. Below is a note from Josh after being in Barcelona only a few days, good times!:
Barcelona really lives up to the hype. Spots all over, babes, all sorts of cool things to look at. The nike event has been really cool to watch, it's right on the beach and there's spots all around the event itself, so we go ride while the riders are practicing. Nike also put on a secret street contest where 3 dudes from a few countries made video sections of them riding Barcelona the week before the contest.Team USA was Dennis Enarson, Rob Wise and Shane Weston. They brought some serious fire. The french team was 3 dudes I've never heard of but they did some insane shit and took the win (the riders were the judges.) After the showing of the videos, me and a big group of riders rode back to the hotel on the other side of town. I was in the back of the pack and we were hauling ass, pillage and plunder style like savages when they all darted out into a round about and caused a car accident. I had to stop, so I that I didn't become part of the accident. They all made it through the round about and I got stuck behind about 100 cars, all rolling down their windows and calling me an asshole and got split up from the group. It took me about an hour and a half to make it back to the hotel. It was a cool experience trying to find my way back all alone in a foreign city.
