On this episode of “Props,” airing this Sunday, April 29, 2007 at 9:00 pm ET (6:00 pm PT), and 11 more times throughout the week, we’ll take a road trip from Texas to Toronto in the dead of winter to the annual Toronto Metro Jam.
Load up the rig with some top riders like Morgan Wade and Aaron Ross and head to Dave Mirra’s private training facility in Greenville, NC. With a crew and a trip like this there is bound to be some interesting footage produced. Speaking of crews, the Road Fools bus rolled into downtown Chicago and hit the streets of some local tour guides. Josh Harrington, Chase Hawk and Chester Blacksmith manage to shut down the city of Chicago.
