Boone Trip 02 Part III

Another awesome day to conclude this crazy weekend. There was a lot less skating and a lot more chilling today but man it was fun. We spent a good deal of our day getting our nature on drinking beers and throwing frisbees in the mountains.

The day ended with a few slices, a few beers, and this really weird, really random half pipe somewhere in the middle of the mountains. Jon managed to keep the daily picture trend going with this pretty wild backflip 180 spinny madness maneuver:

After that, Garrett and I headed back south to the homeland and started to get ready for the week ahead.

Yard grease, halfsocks, shoes, and stubbed toes included, this weekend was awesome and hopefully only one of many more to come in the next few coming months. But for now, I'm tired so I'm going to bed, see you dudes next weekend.

Boone Trip 02 Part II

Day 2 in Boone started off right with a home cooked meal, and many cups of joe and kicking it in the beautiful mountain weather.

Shortly after, we headed out to Wilkesboro, NC to skate a pretty fun competition put on by the young Mr. Hunter Kale. It was really cool to see all the youth out and shredding hard, it was a pretty good turn out and was a really good time. Blake Hyatt came thru with the win, followed by the savage Slobey in 2nd and Thomas Martin in 3rd.

After the comp and some food we headed out to skate downtown Wilkesboro to help Jon Cooley film for his up coming Day in the Life for Chosen few and after today it's definitely not one your going to want to miss.

There was definitely a lot more footage than photos but I did happen to capture this crazy Slobgnar Disaster Topsoul:

After the session we headed back to the Martin Mountain home mansion to kick it and eat delicious food.

I swear everytime we come to Boone, we always end up getting a lot of crazy blading done, drink thousands of beers, and eat the finest food, it's a good/fun lifestyle to have, no yard grease.

Here's some photos of the chow Garrett whipped up:

Anywho, the day was accomplished the night is young, the beers are many. Got one more day to kick it and do some skating.

So after work on Thursday Garrett and I headed down to Boone, NC to go kick it with the spolf twasting Boonenites.

Upon arrival and a couple beers, we headed out to go see a Dr. Dog show, needless to say it was awesome.

Later that night we headed back to Thomas' new mountain house and continued the party, chilled in the hot tub for a bit, threw knives at peoples faces and then called it a night.

The next morning we didn't have any real plans other than to just kick it, but low and behold we wound up going to an amazing spot and getting some really awesome photos:

This picture doesn't do the difficulty of this trick justice, but I was pretty juiced on the outcome:



And Cooley laced these pretty crazy tricks as well:

The night ended with grilled deliciousness, and hot tub times...well I say ended but its only 9 and you never know with the Boone folk.

Tomorrow we're headed out to a contest in Wilkesboro details here so hopefully we see you guys out that way.

200th Post Look Who's Back

Finally healthy enough to skate again, lots of footage, a lot more to come, welcome back homie.

Finally, an update

Well, the past month or so has been really crazy. I've had a lot of work on the side and a lot of people staying at my house mostly to go skating. Footage has been abundant but pictures have not...until this weekend anyways.

Phil Gripper and Stefan Brandow have been in town a lot skating and its been very productive and a lot of fun. This past weekend we really handled business and got a lot of really cool rollerblading stuff done. Here are a couple pics:

Stefan Brandow Laced this pretty large gap first trick of the day first try:

Garrett Slobey came out and destroyed this ledge:



And also destroyed his shin attempted to land the above AO Topsoul:



Stefan also jumped into this pretty wild bank towards the end of the day:



And this guy was caught helping Stefan shoot:

Then at the last spot, Phil landed this deadly royale, we got back to the house, realized it was too dark so we got up early the next day and reshot it...so it was pretty much the first trick of the day after a long night of hanging out:

All in all its been a pretty radical past month and I'm still very busy with other projects but the ball is still rolling and there should be a lot more coming in the future. So stay tuned.
