(pronounced "You're hopeless") 3.5 skaters, 1 small car, 9 countries, 1 shark hat, 3 camera bags, 2 tents, 28 days and 1 live update. The tour started as a couple of road trips coming together, and realising it would be cool to have an objective.

The Europe-less tour (pronounced "you're hopeless"):

3.5 skaters, 1 small car, 9 countries, 1 shark hat, 3 camera bags, 2 tents, 28 days and 1 live update.
 
The tour started as a couple of road trips coming together, and realising it would be cool to have an objective. A couple of weeks later and there was a route planned and it was imminently happening. The name for the tour comes from the participants all being hopefuls in their own right but all hopeless at getting organised for the trip, as you will read from the live update (eg. someone co-ordinating moving house up until 30 minutes before we left!).
 
The journey consists of 3 people living in London, all out to have fun whilst also proving something of their own:
Julian Coulter (UK) from UKSkate.com, who had the cover of Be-Mag issue 4; out to prove he's a sponsored force worth the accolade. Dan Turner (UK) who is an unknown skater and the videographer for the tour, hopefully there to get some exposure and provide some for others by making a documentary of our travels. The final participant doing the whole trip is Dale Travers (AUS), photographer and owner of Australian clothing company TwentyFourSeven. Dale takes photos for Rolla mag and Kingdom, and with this tour hopes to prove his photography skills and get some shots for print. There possibly will be other people joining us along the way, who we will introduce when they arrive on the tour (hence the 3.5).
 
Stay tuned and keep checking the live update!
