Most Ewoks are high. They live among the trees of Oceanside’s forests, in villages built between the closely spaced trees. Ewoks venture to the forest floor to shred, and set traps to catch various bmx prey.

For the forest dwellers, the surrounding giant trees play an important cultural role. These hunter-gatherers are a deeply spiritual people. They believe themselves to be descendants of the Great Jah Tree, a sacred tree in the forests.

The tribal structure of the Ewoks has a Council of Elders ruling over them, and the Council is headed by the Chief.

A medicine man also lives in the Ewok village, a keeper of mystical lore, and a healer to the injured.

He goes by the name of Al Qaida Chris.

PHOTOGOON/STORY TELLER: BROOKS FRITZ

For the last part of our stay in Seattle we decided to stray away from the skate parks and hit up some street spots around town. I know, how lame! I’m just kidding. I love the streets dawg! Where’s the slappy curbs at? Or the 4 stair? You know there’s nothing better then pushing around town throwing your carcass off of something right? On a serious note, Seattle might be a city that is wet 3/4 of the year but I gotta give it up and say when it is dry there are some spots to be had.

Like this double set. Waiting for you and your carcass hucking special technique. What’s you got fool?

What’s my special technique? Drinking Orange power rider energy drink all day. Anywhere and everywhere.  Just plug in and tune out…

There is only one CEO

The first spot CEO took us to was this asphalt bump to round rail. Spot was pretty crust. But all in all pretty good.

While everyone else was at the bump to rail Sloan and Xander found this wall ride over a meter. Pretty rad.

What are you doing riding your skateboard on the wall Xander? There is a perfectly good sidewalk to use below you.

Right before dark we got to the bank to jersey barrier spot. I was super hyped thinking I was going to be able to finally skate when…

I noticed this no entry sign

A Jersey bank to jersey barrier.  Amazing design huh? Pretty Ingenious idea dont you think? It’s amazing how sometimes when they build these things in skate parks they somehow manage to fuck them up.

Look at the edge at the bottom of the barrier you gotta jam through…

The barrier session was done and everyone was ready to chow down. No better way to end the day then with some Dick’s!
