ECD – Reid Menzer Trip Photos

Nilo Hodge just blessed the East Coast Destruction website with a Christmas Eve gallery of photos shot back in November during a trip to the Reid Menzer Skatepark in York, PA. The gallery includes shots of Dustin Clewell, Grant Bass (pictured above), Weng, and Tom Gorse who is a local at the park and was already on site when the ECD crew arrived. A video from the session is expected to surface in the near future. You can read some words from Nilo about the trip and the video project below and don’t forget to check out all the photos via the ECD website by clicking here.

“We met a videographer a while back that let us know that he was interested in shooting a bmx video with us at some point. Last Month, when he was ready to get it done, we took a trip down to Reid Menzer park in York to film with him. It was a crazy warm day in November, until about 3 p.m., then a wild storm rolled in and the temperature dropped like 15 degrees. The videographer brought some wild ass gear to shoot the edit with. I’m psyched to see how it turns out. We’ll post it when he’s done. But for now here’s a few photos Nilo shot throughout the day.” – Nilo Hodge

Dustin Clewell put together a new mix of some old unused skatepark footage stored on his computer. The video features Dustin Clewell, Chopper, Knick Smith, Grant Bass, AJ Herrera, Cotton Robbins, Justin Mitchell and more riding a variety of skateparks in the Pennsylvania area. There’s some pretty wild stuff in here including an impressive Icepick grind to 180 Lookback by Chopper towards the end. Hit play and check it out.

The list is in no particular order and is not based off of any web statistics. With that in mind, we invite you to sit back, re-watch and enjoy.
