That's right, arguably the most popular rider in the sport, and one of the most, if not the most talented rider in the sport, is hitting up the US. They will be hitting spots all over California, The East Coast, and Canada. This is going to be a hell of a tour, and if you want a chance to hang out with R Willy, and see him shred, try and make it out to one of the stops below.
So MGP definitely gets around when it comes to traveling all over the country, and the world for that matter. Sometimes you just gotta be in the right place, and have the right people watching you ride to land a big deal. Well the owner of Eastern Skate Supply, and former pro skateboarder Reggie Barnes was blown away by the riding of Collin DaSilva, Joe Armstrong, and Anthony "Twan" Bustos. In fact the video of them riding the ESS park is the first time scooters have ever even been invited to ride the ESS warehouse.
After what Reggie had seen, he was more than happy to become an official US Distributor of MaddGear Products. For more information check the press release from MGP below.
