Ok so we never really finished off this blog with the rest of the trip, as we got home and back into our busy lives.
From San Fran we headed on down to LA. We rode Santa Monica skatepark Then headed on to stay at a hostel that looked out over Venice Beach (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=430951610996&set=a.427800525996.231902.509280996).
Next stop was San Diego. We headed down to Mexico, crossed the boarded and immediately felt like we were about to get mugged, so headed bk into America after quing for an hour n a half. We headed bk to into San Diego where Lex managed to polish off 2 foot long subs in 1 sitting, before getting back to the hostel and partying at some places with people from the hostel.
Next stop, Woodward West! We had Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning to ride, with the only other people there being a group of 5 skaters who wern't even there most of the time, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. We had an amazing 2 days riding and definitely want to go back some day.
We planed to be at the Grand Canyon to watch the sunrise but went to the west end of it which is fully touristised so they don't let u near it unless u have payed lots of money. so we headed on towards Vegas, stopping to see the Hover Dam on the way.
From Tuesday to Friday we were booked into the Sahara, which also happened to have the cheapest roulette tables and drinks :). the first night we walked the whole length of the strip and were blown away with how over the top and ridiculous the place is!
Interbike was amazing, seeing all the new products for 2011 and meeting up with the Spank and Diamondback guys.
We rode Pro Park 1 evening. Its stupidly big, but then so was the height the locals were getting out of it!
On the last day of interbike we went to the Gun Store in the afternoon and Lex and I each fired a Desert Eagle, a Police Sniper, and an AK47. From there we went on to the invite only party at Diamondback/Raleigh were holding at Ceasers Palace. The food was amazing and the free bar was awesome, with no restrictions on sizes of drinks measures like we have in the UK!
We dropped Tim at the Airport and went to stay in a Hostel for the last 2 nights, going out with everyone from there to the club at the Luxor and the club at the top of Mandalay Bay, both of which were amazing but stupidly expensive for drinks.
Finally Monday morning came with the flight home. It was good to be getting back, but at the same time depressing to know that it was back to the usual work/uni.
All in all it was an amazing 8 weeks. We visited lots of amazing places, rode plenty of amazing spots, and met loads of amazing people!
Here are alot of our photos:

Thank you to everyone who let us stay with them, and everyone who helped us out at all!
And thanks to Diamondback and RHUK/Spank who provide us with bikes
So this is probably the end of this blog, cheers to everyone who has taken an interest in what we've been up to.
