European vacation.
Girl released a video for their Harsh Euro Barge tour in 2002. The VHS tape is about a half hour long and is a mix of demo and street skating footage. There are the obligatory life style shots, too. Ty Evans and Dan Wolfe handled the video camera work. The soundtrack is mostly electronica with a smidge of hip hop plus Cat Power and The Strokes. The team travelled around Portugal, France, Germany, and Czechoslovakia by planes, trains, and even a boat. They saved all the best tricks for Yeah Right! so you mostly got hot demo action. Crankers, Mike Carroll, and Brian Anderson were all straight up wrecking everything, including themselves. There's plenty of Brandon Biebel and a very young Jereme Rogers gets a lot of tricks, along with losing his plane ticket and wallet. Eric Koston shows up for a day or two and then bails. This is a decent enough effort for a tour video. I know it is not economically feasible to release short form physical videos any more, but I miss those days. You still got new skateboarding in a more casual and relaxed package than the big time feature productions.
Rick's layback was in Lisbon, Portugal. His photo with Jeron was in Cologne, Germany. Both pictures are by Gabe Morford.

I spelled Czechoslovakia right on the first try without looking it up. I maybe should quit typing ever again.
