In this first episode of the Seismic Eurotour Video Series, Seismic Team riders Rafa Garrido, Javier Tato, and Aleix Gallimo drove from Castell de Castells in Valencia (Spain) to Almabtrieb, Germany, for the first race of the 2013 Eurotour. Despite a few misadventures on the road, they managed to get to the race on time – but not without first learning a lesson in auto mechanics!

Warming up for the Eurotour.
Calentamiento para el Eurotour.
Municipality from the province Alicante situated at a distance of 97 km NE of it´s capital, in the mountain range of Alfaro. Elevated at 630 m of altitude. Castell de Castells is a little town, with less of 600 inhabitants and open to turism. It offers Rural houses, Camping and Parkings.
The roads are perfectly paved, and surround the mountain areas.
The distance from the coast is less than 50km, even though it raises nearly 700 meters above the sea level.
The track consists of nearly 2 km of asphalt in excelent condition of grip, and with an inclination between a 12 & 15%,
agressive forks well cambered, going into a final stretch where you will be able to reach speeds of in between 70 & 80 km/h.
Seismic riders Troy Fairbanks, Dre “Grizzly” Nubine, and Brandon Desjarlais make the pavement cry on the Cry Baby wheels, the newest members of the Seismic freeride wheel family. Available in 60x38mm (28mm contact patch) and 64x42mm (32mm contact patch), with centerset bearing placement. Both sizes available in red 84A and blue 88A.
The little Baby and the big Baby are both poured in Seismic Elixir™, the first urethane formulated exclusively for modern freeriding. Like other wheels in the Seismic freeride lineup, the Cry Babies offer smooth, predictable slides with great hookup, grip when you need it, and awesome ‘thane lines. Baby bottle and diaper change included, but only on the graphic.

Ever complained about the snow harshing your gnar? Snow doesn’t phase Dre “Grizzly” Nubine one bit as he tears down a Colorado mountain pass at speeds in excess of 50mph — with a little help from Seismic’s top-secret new speed/freeride urethane formula. Bright white to match the weather conditions!
Mischo Erban has been pioneering longboarding since man of you were in grade school! This guy is a true racer and has shown it with countless podiums on the world circuit and even a few titles worthy of boasting. This is a flashback to his 2011 season where he won the IGSA World Championship Title in Brazil.
From MIscho…
“Still hanging in by tooth and nail the, 2011 season was another to remember! I was becoming more tuned into my skateboard setup and confidence and perseverance paid off with the World Champion Title being seized on my most favorite track in Teutonia, Brazil!
Big Thanks to Fred Baumann, Ronin Trucks, GMR Skateboards, Dan Gesmer at Seismic, Xtreme Board Shop Glendora, Knucklenuts and Crocan for the video edit!”

With the combination of Elixir™ freeride urethane, Tekton bearings, and style for miles, the “Laminator” offers a new level of steeze to the sport. Enjoy the free-ride!
