Tomorrow is Go Skateboarding Day and regardless of who started it and the fact that every day is Go Skateboarding Day; we here at Oh My Back are making a day of it. Vacation days are being cashed in and we are going skating.
We have only one rule. We have to go somewhere that is new to our group or at least where one person has never been.
Oh My Back was hatched as an idea on Go Skateboarding Day and will, as far as we are concerned, be a world wide holiday.
Go skate! See you out there!!
This has been a great show the past three years and Boxes Of Death 4 looks to be just as fun!
Touring again this year starting in Seattle (June 15th) and moving to Portland (July 13th), San Francisco (August 9th), and Laguna (August 17th). If you are anywhere close to these cities you should make it out and see the tiny coffins.
This weekend was so much fun that we forgot to take any photos or video of our trip out to Port Angeles to skate the really fun skatepark there. It was a super beautiful day and three of us set out to go and skate for the day. For the first part of our day involved an early start to catch the ferry at Edmonds and once we got to the park and some leg stretching Mikhel, Ritchie and myself had a blast skating the park mostly buy ourselves. That park is so very fun that we mostly skated with hardly a break from morning into the afternoon. Skating with friends one of the best things ever.
We then drove to Bainbridge Island to skate the park there and got to skate and hang out with our Oh My Back originator and good friend Andy Caro who hadn’t been skating for months with, of all things, a bad back. It was great to see him skate and we had a good time there. Especially after the shade covered the deep end and our northwestern sun shy selves really started to enjoy ourselves. Burritos and beers to follow and that was our Saturday.
Sunday was Cinco De Margo day which has become an annual event at the Marginal Way Skatepark with tacos, beer, skating and music. It was great to have most of the Oh My Back crew in attendance and skate and witness the absolute ripping going on. It was a great turnout with some surprising out of town visitors as well.
It was an awesome weekend and it was fun to get out and skate with all of our friends. Next time we go on a trip we will try and remember to take a break and snap some photos and do some video gathering. Skating is too much fun sometimes.
Go Skate!!
