More Frontside airs and fun times. Here’s the wrap up of my East Coast to West Coast trip.

Doesn’t Pierre Luke De Gay Won look like he’s having a super fun happy time?

Captin Booh Jah doesn’t like his neck getting sun burnt. It Uneven’s his sun tan when he has his shirt on so he brought his camel jockey hat along with him on this flight at Orcas. I’m pretty sure Ryan has never put knee pads on in his life. Why would you need to nanny up if you don’t plan on bailing?

Life is what you make of it..

The pond in the middle is fun but the salmon run is the reason why you go to Orcas Island. At least that’s why I do. Ryan with a gap to lip slide.

Forest has hit his head so many times he has to wear a helmet full time these days. Pretty gnarly if you think about it. Not thinking about not being able to take any more to the head Forest does a front side air off the hip into the pocket.

Obstruction pass ( the camp ground on Orcas ) became Destruction pass one night after a few bottles of asshole gasoline. Tables were burned, wrestling in thorn bushes and Kyle single handily offending everyone outside of our campsite were the highlights.Kyle was yelling till his voice was gone. Families, Kayakers, hippies, everyone was bummed when we were around.

This picture needs a closer look.

See those marks on Jamie’s face? He took a beer can to the face when we were having a super happy fun time.

After some time on da island we left and headed back to the main land brah. The town Mcminville has really fun Grindline park. Feels like 3 separate parks in one good park if that makes any sense. Here’s Booh Jah with one of those front side airs.

Ryan’s friend Joe the Jeweler with a 12+ block front side double trucker.

I remember Ryan saying something about hating this photo since he had his shirt off. So I decided to draw one on so you could see this speedy smith.

Ryan bailed his board on one of these alley oop 360’s right onto my head. It’s pretty awarding shedding blood pushing a button on a plastic box.

whats next?

Port Angeles - Another great park. Cousin It was there doing crail airs

Everyone was gone by this time of the trip. Where else better to go? I guess back out to Orcas again. Why not? I had a few more days till my flight home. Seriously why is this place so fun?

maybe this has something to do with it

This is a nice place to have a couple cold ones.

For the last few weeks of my trip it was pretty much just me and Ryan cruising around. Thus the abundance of photos of the guy. gap to 5050 at Arlington

STREET SKATING?

Tired of always being in front of the lens. Ryan shot some photos of me “street” skating.

Took it to another level with this back tail!

Then Booh Jah stepped it up even harder with ORV 4WD pillow line!

HAVE A SUPER HAPPY FUN TIME THIS WEEKEND….

I know, I’m a couple days late with part two…. You raise a child full time and try to get things done.

After skating the Orange Grove pool we headed east to the mexi pool. I love the people’s excuses why they don’t want you to skate their pool. The best one is that they say they are going to fix it up soon. Doesn’t the photo above look like a pool that’s about to get fixed up?

Brian Jarosh, Frontside grind

The mexi pool is good. No light on the face wall. Great surface, good tranny’s and no hassles. Too bad it’s out in the middle of nowhere. But then again if it was here in San Diego it would be blown out now wouldn’t it?

Kyle Gallahger, frontside grinds all the time

Cobra, backside ollie

Looks like he’s just backside grinding huh? Yeah I know, I kind of fucked up the photo but if you look closer or pretend then you can see he’s snapping a good backside ollie.

Sizar, sidewall frontside air

Sorry, I only hung out with Sizar once so maybe I am spelling his name wrong.

Brian Jarosh, backside tailslide

How are your backside tail slides coming along on the mini ramp at your local shitty cookie cutter prefabricated disaster of a skate park coming along? Brian avoids that bullshit and takes them to the backyard.

After we skated the Mexi pool we drove out to Palm Springs and luckily by chance we had some friends from Colorado staying at a motel for the night. They put us up and we kinda blew it out. But come on! This is Palm Springs. The people are jacked here. We saw an ad that said you could rent rims for your car. In the morning I woke up on the floor to see this: Jamie Weller on a good one. Probably 5 Mimosa’s deep.

Jamie Weller, frontside tailslide

What’s funny is the guy that drank the most also skated the most and the best. By the time we got to the Salton Sea everyone was hagged. I even heard Kike say this is the most hungover he’s ever felt. And he doesn’t even drink!

WTF?

Xander Dunlap, Backside smith grind

Xander wasn’t feeling too bad himself and started trying these backside smith grinds. Out of nowhere this chick walked up asking us if we had some jumper cables. Everyone was kind of dumbfounded and said no. Jamie asked what she was doing and she said her friends and herself were filming a movie down the way? We all were wondering the same thing….. What kind of movie?

Kyle and Brian were eager to see this so called movie and went to scope it out.

Not exactly what we were expecting.

” Our my boobs big enough? “

uh huh

Bored with the movie set we went back up to the pool only to randomly run into our friend Brendan Klein. He was out their with some people from his school. Pretty random. We skated a little bit more. Checked out the artwork on the pool that said Darren Navertte cant grind and headed back to Oceanside.

THE END
