The crazyiest ride we've ever been on. Two weeks on a bus, Sydney to Byron on a post counter culture hippy trip. Packed with Insight's Pro Surf and Skate team on a road trip to Splendor In The Grass festival. Parked back stage, invaded by a multitude of bands. Wild, wild times.
5 bands, one train, 4 cities. One hell of a ride. What's being stuck on a rickety old heritage listed train for 4 days, accompanied by off the rails Rockstar's and soaking up the finest of Bacardi refreshments. Its pretty dam sweet, if we say so ourselves.
