Last week we left our everyman hero on his quest to complete the rumored-to-be-impossible middle-aged aerial. After last week’s disappointing training session ended in a collision with our water photographer, Jon and his high-flying sensei Kevin Schulz head to Lower Trestles, known to some (probably just Jon, actually) as “The Yosemite of Surfing.” Between his skyward attempts, Jon gives a tour of the magical cobblestone kingdom, including a breakdown of the popular modes of transit on the trail, how to pick the right porta potty and oh so much more.<br /><br />“It’s Tuesday morning and there’s about 500 people here,” said Jon before his session. “Nobody has a job, everybody’s on electric bikes and rode in on their Sprinter vans. It’s kind of a shit show, to be honest with you, but I’m excited! I really think it’s gonna happen for me today.”<br /><br />Was Jon right? Will he be the latest invitee to the Red Bull Airborne series? Press play above to find out, and click here<br />to watch part one of Jon’s aerial saga. Next week on “The Ultra-Core Surf Hour”, Jon will be back and pulling into some Laird-Millennium-Wave-level tubes at Newport’s Wedge. See you then.
