Phlandus Alexander, Poleride to Fakie Barspin, Bloomington, MN

I had a chance to meet up with Standard’s Phlandus Alexander the other day to roam around in his neighborhood outside of Minneapolis and check out a couple of his spots. Phlandus has been shredding this specific industrial park for so long, I can’t believe it took us this long to get together and get something documented. After messing around at a few other setups, we stopped by this telephone pole set right in the middle of an asphalt bank. Here he shows a little glimpse of how much pop he really has, by tossing a quick barspin out of a pole ride to fakie. We gave it a 3 or 4 tries to get the timing right, and ended up with something we were both happy with as a result.
