Corey Martinez takes a break from riding to enjoy his other hobby of taking photos at the System Cycle warehouse.
Even if the intention isn't to do any filming, you never leave that camera in the bag when you're on a trip with guys Corey Martinez, Nathan Williams, Seth Kimbrough, Shane Weston and tons of other rippers. Even if it's riding a curb, indoor park or a spot they've been to a million times, you know they'll thrown something you don't want to miss. Chris Mahaffey knows this rule all to well and kept the camera rolling while on an Ohio trip with these guys this past winter. Here's what he had to say about the trip. -Cody York
"A few weeks back Corey, Nathan, Seth, Shane and myself decided to get out of town to beat the monotony of the winter routine. It was the kind of trip all riders take; get out of town with you friends to enjoy riding something different. This trip was literally a mid-week, 24 hour excursion from Alabama/Tennessee to OH to ride Ollie's skatepark and the System Cycle ramps (Catfish came through with the hookup). It was a really chill trip (we weren't even trying to film, we just did if something came up) and was enjoyable for everyone. While we were in OH we were fortunate enough to run into our boy Jeremiah Smith (on a unrelated trip with Jamie Bestwick and Harry Main) and DK's Mitchell Lamme. It was definitely a good time and I would suspect we'll do something similar in the spring/summer when all of our schedules work out." -Chris Mahaffey
