BACK TO BROMO

2,000 meters above sea level exists a volcano that last erupted only a few years ago.

It’s awe inspiring intensity is best experienced first hand; looking straight up from the centre of a crater, that over millions of years has been blown apart from within.

For us, it’s a playground best enjoyed on two wheels.

The ashen dunes have become a yearly pilgrimage for the Deus Temple boys and this year was no different.

A crew of Californians, Forrest Minchinton, Nick LaPaglia, Todd Cram and Micah Davis, loaded up the bikes and made the daylong journey across East Java by car.

Arriving to this part desert, part lush green jungle scape, never ceases to prompt a crooked smile.

The next few days were filled with some good ol’ fashion dune carving, from sun up to sun down and ending the days with a cold beer and stories

Days like these stick in your brain, like sand in your teeth.
