Garrett and I took a short trip to ride the city of Baltimore, Maryland and stack some footage. Baltimore is one of the cities that Garrett rode the most growing up, so now that he resides in Long Beach, CA, it was rad to see him back on home field so to speak. Garrett may be a Long Beach transplant, but I think this video does a good job at showing how his wallride-filled, spot-oriented style of riding was shaped by the East Coast architecture he grew up riding. – Zach Krejmas
