The Hold On Loosely Tour Shreds New England
Glenwood, NJ- Aaron Chase, Chris Van Dine, Dave Smutok, Cam Zink and Adam Hauck are currently banching Harleys all over New England as they visit some of the East Coast’s top freeriding spots and hang out at the 85th Annual Laconia Rally and Race for the 1st Annual Hold on Loosely Tour.
The Tour will be making numerous stops all over
New England
traveling via Harley motorcycles to some of the best riding spots on the east coast. “The Tour is all about having fun on 2 wheels” explains Chase. “There is no pressure, just good times.” They are joined by the crew from Matchstick Productions who will be shooting for an upcoming episode of Focused on Rush HD.
The crew kicked off the tour this past Saturday with the 2nd Annual Peter Makris Memorial Bike and Boat Run where they rode Harleys around Lake Winnipesauke; Chase’s old stomping grounds for 3 hours helping to raise money for the Laconia Fire Dept.
From there the guys hopped on their motorcycles and made the trip an hour north to
Attitash
Mountain
for some downhill.
Attitash
Mountain
opened their doors and lifts to the guys, where they shredded some DH for 2 days. “The place is one of the best mountains I have ever ridden. There are no lift lines, and a ton of good trails; a couple which are worthy of a World Cup Downhill.” explains Zink. Chase grew up racing Dual Slalom and DH at Attiash and knew it would be the perfect stop for the tour. 
The next stop is a quick ride up the
Mount Washington Auto Roadthen the tour takes a trip to Vermont’s
North
East
Kingdom
, a true privately owned mecca for freeriding and dirt jumping. 
On Thursday the crew will make their way to
Highland
Mountain
in
Northfield, NH
for the grand finale, the Red Bull Dirt Pipe currently being built by Kyle Ebbett and Ted Tempany. “This is one of a kind design done by Aaron” explains Van Dine. “ Once we are done shooting on it
Highland
will open it to the public, so sick!”
Highland
Mountain
will play host to the tour until Sunday. “
Highland
has stepped it up this summer. The trails are so sick, they have the best jump park in the east, no one can touch them” explains Van Dine. The tour would like to invite the public to join them at
Highland
this weekend for some fun, campfires, riding and BBQ’s.
