FALLEN TOUR BLOG DAY 7
Checked out a bunch of rad spots in Durban today. We hit up the stadium, which was smooth as hell and had tons of school kids around who were hyped on rolling on our boards and playing soccer. We hit up the House of Curries and then down to Revolution Pavilion for the demo. Good times.

FALLEN TOUR BLOG DAY 6
Super good day today hitting up Durban street spots. Started with the beach front, then hit up a rail, then off to the Big 3. After that Dlamini got us lost for half an hour looking for a rail spot that no one wanted to skate, haha. Checked out Westville University around sunset and then hit up Hooters for some chicken wings and jugs of beer.

FALLEN TOUR BLOG DAY 5
We spent the day driving from Joburg out to Durban. The drive pretty much consisted of rad music mixes and dorking out, talking about skate video soundtracks and video parts. When we got into Durban it was dark and rainy as hell, so we hit up the pool hall with Dlamini and called it a night. Durban street skate tomorrow… it’s on.

FALLEN TOUR BLOG DAY 4
Day 4 was hitting the streets of Pretoria looking for good spots to Session. Hit up Skinner, City Hall, Church Square and the ditches. Good day, last one in Joburg, driving out to Durban first thing in the morning!

FALLEN TOUR BLOG DAY 3
Super awesome day today on the safari trip. Sandoval was right at home with the lions and Slash was loving the giraffe, that thing was all over him! Got to run around with the wild dogs and wildebeest too. Wild times!

FALLEN TOUR BLOG DAY 2
Today was the first demo of the tour and it went down at Revolution Skatepark, Festival Mall. It was a super good demo, each of the Fallen guys were putting down some crazy tricks and it was unreal to watch. Good fun vibes too. After the demo we checked out some Joburg street spots again and hit up a couple of them. Then back to the hotels and good old Monte Casino again. Hyped on the Safari tomorrow!

The Fallen team arrived in SA and we spent the day hitting up a few street spots around Joburg and then hitting up Monte Casino at night. Just getting started, but this is set to be a good tour, we even have a beer vending machine in our hotel!

BILLY MARKS INTERVIEW
What are you looking forward to most about coming to South Africa?
Just being somewhere different and new! I’m tired of the same old trips.
What is the furthest country that you’ve been to so far and what difference there made the biggest impression on you?
Not sure on the furthest, maybe Russia or Turkey. China is far too, but maybe Turkey. There are just crazy kids out there that know everything about skating.
Do you ever have to deal with fatigue when touring? If so, what do you do to manage with it?
Yeah, all the time. I usually take a day off and just chill.
Lately, what music gets you hyped before you go skate?
I listen to so much junk it’s hard to pick one. I’ll say Pink Floyd.
When playing a game of S-K-A-T-E, what’s your go-to-trick that you know no-one else will get?
Probably nollie laser flip.
If you were cornered by an angry Elephant or Rhinoceros and had to escape, which do you think you’d be able to out-smart and why?
I’ll say an Elephant. Rhinos just seem too gnarly! Elephants probably can’t turn around too quickly so I’d just run around it.

Billy Marks is coming on the Fallen South African tour! It’s happening from 18th – 30th of September. Check back on revolution.co.za on Monday for the next team rider announcements. Demo’s, venues, dates, interviews and other news dropping throughout the month.
