A full riding video for Somebody To Ride With by Emerald Skies. Trails, mud, machines, and the reason getting out and riding never gets old.
Full video
Twice a year, a group of friends who live miles apart gets together for four days of riding, laughing, and having a good time. Most of our trips have been in Wisconsin, and those two weekends have become something I look forward to all year.
Pound Town was our summer ride. Next week we're heading to Big Bay, Michigan.
These are friends I only get to see twice a year, which makes those four days together mean that much more. I can't wait to see everybody again.
Two weekends a year. Eight days together. A whole lot of memories in between.

About Emerald Skies
Emerald Skies is the independent music project of songwriter Sean Howell, shaped by alternative rock, indie, modern country, and songs that say what people usually leave unsaid.
The music moves through memory, distance, identity, loss, and the choices that divide one part of life from another. Every release begins with the words and grows into its own atmosphere.
