Matt Roe IN Red Bull "Big Rig Holiday"

8 years ago

Matt Roe recently spent some time in the Northwest of the United States filming for this "Big Rig Adventure" video from Red Bull! Take a look and see just what he threw down during his time with this crew in the video below!

"The great outdoors… and I’m not talking about the leafy industrial estate out of town with the awesome rails that you don't get kicked out of. I'm going on about forests, waterfalls and one hell of a big rig ploughing its way through the great Pacific Northwest!

The plan was simple, well, to be honest it was non-existent; take eight friends, both old and new, meet up in Portland, Oregon. Then pile everyone into a 40-foot-long RV and see what happens!

The heavily-laden RV consisted of a pretty eclectic list of names, including Nathan Williams, Reed Stark, Alex Kennedy, Corey Martinez, David Grant, Christian Rigal, and Matt Roe.

The ‘plan’ was so loose that we hadn’t even decided on which direction to take.

After some deliberation and many blank faces we set the compass for south and headed for Salem and Eugene and possibly some of the smaller towns along the way. We soon realised this was probably the worst idea we could have come up with…

Driving an enormous recreational vehicle into small peaceful towns with eight dudes hanging out of every window obviously didn't go down too well, let alone help with finding spots and being able to ride them long enough to film a clip! Needless to say, we encountered our fair share of small town cop mentalities and bafflingly idiotic reasoning. But despite that we got some pretty amazing bike riding documented in between our troubles, and Reed got his crazy 180-degree curved rail in Eugene, so it wasn’t all in vain."
