For the final stop of the Unit USA Tour, we headed back to Vegas to finish some unfinished business, and things couldn’t have gone better! On our first effort in Vegas, basically everybody was injured or unavailable, so we spent most of the time checking out the sites with Unit riders Cam White and Nate Berkheimer. It was still a hell of a good time, but we weren’t able to get any real banger ride footage.
TJ Lavin was back on the bike this time around, and had some special visitors to join in on his backyard BMX session. It was a crazy day hanging with the guys including Lavs, Chris Harti, Anthony Napolitan, Cam White, Brakeless Billy and the rest of the Vegas locals.

The weather was perfect for the session, a bit to hot during the day, but the guys made up for it by riding early in the morning, and late in the evening. TJ’s backyard is one of the most famous sets of trails in the world, so it was a real honour to film and hang out there. It is a crazy setup, jammed into TJ’s backyard, made up of 4-5 lines that all meet at a berm that shoots you along a final set of jumps back towards the roll-in. Basically you drop in and pick your line, ride it all the way to the end and walk straight back up the stairs for another go.

We would just like to say a big thanks to TJ Lavin and the rest of the Vegas locals. Without all of you we wouldn’t have had so much fun, and awesome stuff to film. We can’t wait to get back!
