Cross Country in Photos

Words by Aaron Gates, photos by Tony Archibeque

I’ve driven across America twice now. Once the real way (Alaska to the CT), and this time the short version (CT to Seattle). I will drive across the country any time I have the opportunity to do it. The best part of cross country travel is the many small things you come across, that you would never make a point of seeing in any other context. That, and America is a pretty beautiful place. In March, my wife and I packed our car, truck, and a Uhaul full of everything we could and brought our son, Tony Archibeque Jr., and our friend Gary across America. The following photos document some of the cool things and oddities we witnessed along the way.

Missoula, MT has a really fun bowl. This was one of two quick sessions we had on the trip. if I had to pick one obstacle to ride on a roadtrip, it would always be a bowl with a cradle.

Tony unleashes a Dom Mach in Montana.

The Chicago Skyway.

The Chicago Skyline.

At this point, we realized that we had entered real America.

Aerodynamic!

South Dakota is full of weird roadside attractions. Driving on the interstate you will see advertisements for a particular place for literally hundreds of miles. Some of these places are awesome, Like the World's only Corn Palace. The Prehistoric village just made for a nice sunset photo.

The one time of day that the view changes on the interstate.

Idaho, land of rainbows and magnets.

Deadwood, SD. Home of Wild Bill Hickock's grave, and many tiny casinos.

A humungous smokestack in Anaconda, MT. Home of a skatepark called "The Snake Pit".

This may look like an ordinary wildlife photo, but catching this stuff at 70 mph takes some serious skill.

More fun in Deadwood. A travel weary baby.

Deadwood. An odd juxtaposition.

Driving across the country means you have to deal with truck drivers. This was one particular encounter where a trucker thought we were going too slow.

Chicago Video Hunt!

Eric from forty distribution sent over info on a Chicago-based video contest they’re putting together…. sounds rad. Check teaser video below.

DIY with Bamboo

Mario Martin-Alciati shot over this link for an outfit in SF that gets interested folks started building their own bamboo-based bike frames. Looks like they’re doing workshops in Brooklyn, too. Check the video:

Mike Tag

By now I’m sure you’ve seen the unfortunate news that FBM OG Mike Tag is currently battling with Stage ll Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

FBM has set up a page to accept donations towards his ever-mounting medical bills. Please consider contributing, any support would be greatly appreciated.

Brian Tunney said it best:

Tag, as many of us have come to know him throughout the years, has played an integral part in elevating the status of dirt riding, street riding and video production throughout the early ’90s and into the ’00s. Mike was one of the first riders to really focus on the art of searching for spots, and for years, Mike traveled the world with his FBM and a video camera in search of elusive rails. Mike Tag’s riding and filming has been featured in over a decade of FBM videos, as well as countless issues of Props, Road Fools and etnies “Forward”. And Mike was the first rider to receive a signature frame from FBM, the Night Train.

To put it bluntly, Mike Tag’s riding (and antics) influenced an entire generation of BMX.

Check out Mike’s Props bio for a reminder of how much of a badass he is:
