Recipe For Disaster.

"We're at the Luxor."

Real released a tour video on VHS in early 2002 that featured their amateur team. At the time the ams were JT Aultz, Damian Bravo, Dennis Busenitz, Peter Ramondetta, Darrell Stanton, and Chris Trembley. Team manager Jasin Phares organized the trip and spent too much money at a fancy hotel while Dan Vellucci filmed it and Gabe Morford took the photographs. The crew traveled to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Austin, and Houston. They wrecked all the spots along the way. The pro team had a few clips and there was a subtle plug for Krooked, which Deluxe was getting ready to launch. The video also had a section on a Real trip to Japan that features some great Nate Jones and Keith Hufnagel clips. The Recipe For Disaster soundtrack was mostly punk with some vintage AC/DC and Judas Priest. This is a fun video to watch from an era that now seems like an eternity ago.

At the end, Real teases another tour video called Red Asphalt to be released in July of 2002. I don't think that happened. Or did it?

I finally got Chris Trembley on here. That guy was good, but I believe injuries ended his chances at turning pro. I might be wrong about that.

The photos are by Gabe Morford.
