We just got given this brand new Mercedes Sprinter van.
We got all this cash right here mate.
And we got three days to make the sickest road trip ever in California.
We're out here in California with GoPro doing an epic road trip.
They've teamed us up with random individuals.
There's 10 different teams and my team consists of myself and Wade Pappenfus here.
What's going on legends?
From Australia.
What do you do in like a few words?
I guess we just do wild outdoor survival, fishing, diving, surfing, all that type of stuff.
Ocean-based survival adventure content baby.
We're on our way to Tahoe.
I seen that there's a bike park here.
This is Auburn bike park and we thought we'd check this out on the way.
But I arrived in San Francisco yesterday and found some epic stuff with Nightscape.
Have a look at this.
We are out here on the hills man, on the staircases.
You might know Harry because he's called Nightscape on YouTube.
Does parkour and crazy videos.
What an environment to be in when you've got wheels man.
Exactly.
No fear.
Here we go.
First set.
Harry's in position.
Wow.
That's such a good one.
Ready guys?
Here we go.
Into the danger zone.
We're dropping.
Danger zone.
Oh my goodness.
Oh, it's steep.
Oh yeah.
That is so gnarly.
Wow.
That's quite ridiculous.
Next little stair set and our mission is this beast here.
You can't even see the bottom of it.
It's completely straight.
Here we go into this long one.
Oh my God.
Wow.
That got sketchy.
Oh my goodness.
Mate.
Bro, that was insane.
Come on then Wade.
No, you.
I want to follow you.
Go on.
It's just down here.
Look.
Easy.
Wade is in.
Put your feet on the pedals.
I'm trying.
I'm trying bro.
You gotta stand up.
Yes you can.
Go on.
It's easy.
Yeah, there we go.
Look at that start.
I've never seen such a start on a guy.
Oh yes.
Flying.
I'm literally set up on the edge of this kicker right now.
Sam's inbound.
Here we go.
Oh no, here we go.
Oh yeah.
We just finished a super quick session here.
We just stopped by.
Got a quick flip and a nice clip.
Now we're going to move on to Tahoe to Truckee Bike Park.
You've heard this has got some bigger jumps.
We just made it out here to Truckee Bike Park and it looks epic.
There's loads of fun stuff to ride.
Some of it's closed but this feature here looks like the dream.
So oh yes, that looks epic.
We're going to get into this right now.
No way.
That's so cool.
Me and Wade aren't the most clean of people.
Like we've destroyed the van already.
I actually don't know how we're going to sleep in this.
There's no space at all.
Here we go into this epic line here.
Cruise that.
No foot can there.
Whale tail.
Yes, Wade.
Right, I'm switching to my favourite angle now.
We put the GoPro on the end of this.
Stick that on my helmet.
Then you get that cool looking back shot, you know.
Here we go.
Let's get a no foot can for Wade here.
Right over his head.
I hit the mount.
Oh, fire.
Here we go.
See if we can get a flip can on this jump on the enduro bike.
Whoa, big one.
Loving it.
We just finished up here.
Truckie Bike Park.
Oh my god, what a place.
That is amazing.
Time to pack the van up and cruise to Lake Tahoe.
We've got a chef on the waterfront or something.
Sounds amazing.
GoPro, you're the best.
Let's go.
Look at this insane setup we've got for dinner tonight.
It's unreal.
Sickest view.
Epic crew.
What a setup.
I think these are going on the fire next.
Come on.
Might have cheated a bit by getting a hotel.
Hello, how are you?
Good.
I have a booking already.
All right, enjoy your stay.
Thank you.
Next morning, dreams are about to come reality.
It is wakes up time.
Oh, it's going to go off.
Let's get on the water.
It's going to get sci-fi.
Let's go, baby.
That is an absolute dream.
It's the next day on our trip.
We've found these jumps here on the side of the cliffs overlooking Santa Cruz Bay there.
This is so cool.
It's quite hard for speed on the enduro bike, but we're going to make it happen.
How do you like this mountain?
Oh, come on.
You're not going to ride with that.
Let's show our new friend what it's all about then.
Pedal for speed.
Pop, pump, push.
Over his head.
Mary of Christ.
Okay, I don't know what else to say, man.
Right, so this needs to keep the speed going for these last ones.
Yes.
Right, Tivo, I'm going to whip the back wheel over the top of your head,
and it's going to remove your beanie.
No, it's not really.
I'm not going to hit you.
I know you won't.
I was telling your friend that I was ready to lean up right here.
That's fine.
We whipped over his head.
We're just about to leave, and we spotted this wall ride here,
which is literally on a cliff edge.
Quite gnarly.
Sick backdrop though.
I'm going to do wall to fakie there.
Oh no, I didn't quite land it.
Almost got him.
There we go.
We finished off in this location.
We're going to move on, and hopefully we can find the dunes now, right?
We're going to shred some dunes.
Thanks, Tilo.
Nice to meet you, mate.
Have a good one.
Cheers, boss.
There we go.
Oh my god, this is it.
We've just turned up at a beach.
We were four before campus, and we're about to go off road.
While we're driving down the beach, you've just spotted a quad bike rental place.
It's going to be the best day ever.
Of course we're going to send it, mate.
Ever.
It's going to be so sick.
Best day ever.
Finishing.
Look.
Can't even breathe.
It's so good.
Oh my god.
Right, next activity.
It's the final day of the trip.
We've woke up once again in a cool motel with a lovely backdrop.
Look at this.
We're actually now in Santa Barbara, and we have to find surf today.
Although it looks like there's no swell at all.
We want to get weighed in his natural environment, which is the ocean.
So we're going to explore whatever happens.
We're getting in the sea today, even if we're on foamy surfboards.
So let's get after it, see what we can do.
We've now just pulled off the motorway to stop at Calabasas.
This is a huge stair set.
Come and have a look.
It's insane.
All right, I just made it to the top.
This is a huge stair set.
It's sick.
We're going to go flat out down it.
Coast's clear.
Let's go.
Please don't die.
Dropping.
Oh my god.
With this mount in front, it's quite hard to see.
So I just made that even more insane.
Yes.
We've just arrived at Malibu.
It is absolutely fire quick.
Look how big it is out there.
Wait, is that a swimming pool?
No, that's a freaking doggy bath.
Oh my god, what a stress.
I was so upset when I saw that you'd got out.
What's going on right now?
It's my birthday today.
I'm going to try and surf.
I haven't surfed since I was like 13.
But we're going to try.
Oh my god, it's stuck.
No, hold it from the middle.
Then you can, it'll be easier.
Put it.
Okay, okay, okay.
Hold it.
Do you think it's like, see, I'm holding it.
There you go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There you go.
So steezed now.
It might be Shelly's leg today.
She might be insane.
Paddle, man.
Paddle.
More, faster.
Yeah.
Paddle.
Go, go, go.
Oh no.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Yeah.
It's an absolute slam.
And the nips are out.
Good work.
I need a high five for that.
High five for the slam.
Yeah, that was awesome.
Oi.
Let's go.
We made it.
Let's go.
After four hours of driving, one and a half of which was sat in a nine mile section of road in LA.
It's ridiculous.
It's so much traffic there.
We have made it to Palm Springs and we've got an insane hotel.
This is now a room just for me.
Everyone in the whole thing has got their own room here.
This is nuts.
Look at the bathroom.
Look at this.
That is actually insane.
Fully glassy looking toilet.
That is ridiculous.
Unfortunately, I'm going to end the video right here.
We've got three more days here in Palm Springs.
And the reason we're actually here is to edit all of our videos that we've filmed on this road trip.
And on the final day, we're going to be doing the Palm Springs wave pool,
which is my absolute dream as well.
This trip has been filled with so many dreams.
GoPro, you are absolutely the best.
I'm so pumped.
Thank you very much for inviting me along.
This whole road trip has $50,000 up for grabs between all of the teams that are involved.
And we're going to be having an award ceremony for the best footage created while we're on this trip.
So I'll let you know in the next vlog how I got on with that.
Hopefully, I can take home a little bit of cash from this trip.
That would be super sick.
There's like best video, best POV, best photo, best drone clips.
There's all sorts of different categories to cater to all the different types of people that are here.
So that's super interesting.
It should be quite fun.
And that's why the title was the $50,000 road trip.
So I hope you guys enjoyed it.
See you in the next one.
