hot, hot, cold. Just like Indiana does.

The weather, like every spring, has been unpredictable.  It was hot and then it was cold.  There has been serious wind. Oh well, it's what happens here in Indiana.  I have been really stoked on skating and not much else.  I want to be on the road.  Lets get something going.  The wind ruined our Terre Haute Show me trip today.  Lets try again next week.

Thanks neighbors and the city of Indianapolis.  Wasn't working on that or anything.

Skating is getting sicker every weekend and with every new accessory that makes it to the skatepark.

So after Fayetteville I was literally chewing off my fingernails.  I had no idea what Skatopia was going to be like.  I always said I wouldn't go there.  But we lucked out.  There was only two other guys there beside Bruece.  Bruece ended up being a pretty cool dude.  So much history at this place.  I should have taken more photos but I think the whole time I was overwhelmed... does that make me a pussy? We skated the concrete bowl for a while with the whole crew and Bruece.  He started up his grill and invited us to all cook together.  Then he invited us to a session on the "big bowl," if you skateboard you know what I am talking about.  It ended up being really fun once I got over my fear at least a little bit.  After skating was done it was to the PBR lounge and shotgun party.  It ended up being a really fun night with a good fire and camping with just the crew.

Its friday night what are you doing RUTLAND!!

Hutch made Bruece a Birthday upside down pineapple cake... Who else would think to do this when they are going to skatopia.  So stoked Hutch came on the trip.

What an awesome trip.  Can't wait for next year.  Can't wait for June.  Shit, I just can't wait to be on the road again.  Camping, skating, and homies, it doesn't get much better than this.

Spring Break 2k12. part 1

I can't believe break is already over.  It went so fast.  Time to go from skaterat back to Teacher.  Normally I have so much to do as soon as school gets out I don't get to enjoy any of my time.  Did a lot of enjoying this break.  These are pre eastward trip.

so laid back.  I am so curious of this place.

View from Crown Hill.  This is so awesome.  Good place to take your girl to make out too.  

Also a really awesome place to ride a skateboard.  G-campbell with the bomb.

Nick Fish Ponding it.
