deep in the forests of Cumberland two riders stumbled upon something perched in the trees…

the elusive UROC hotline.

we thought maybe someone was lost
we thought maybe it was disconnected….
we thought maybe it would just be static.
we answered.
there was a pause.
then a voice.

ATTENTION COALTOWN THROW DOWN RIDERS—

the hotline knows.
we do not ask questions.
we simply obey.
if the phone rings for you…
answer at your own risk.
the UROC hotline has spoken.

☎️ september 5.

register now if you dare.
or spend the rest of the season wondering what would’ve happened….

more coaltownthrowdown hot goss coming to you soon
XOXO UROC hotline 💋
