Well the UK tour is finished. And hopefully soon between not being able to sleep at the right times and work and other things the video will get done. There’s a lot of clips and some of the 16 skateparks got some footage but not all. but mostly it was good fun!
Check out this video for a taste.
Go Skateboarding Day is in the bag for 2013 (yeah we know it was a week ago) and the crew jumped in the van to check out the new Port Orchard Skatepark. This park is another brand new Grindline gem that makes living in the Pacific North West even better. We had a great time there and as usual didn’t film enough to make a decent video. It was pretty crowded with bikes, scooters and amazingly there were some skateboarders there too. Spitfire pros, the local Welcome crew, and other PNW rippers were on hand. Thrasher filmers and photographers got some photos of some of us standing around.
After we had our fill of bike/scooter kid dodging we went to Bainbridge Island and had a blast there for the rest of the day. One of Grindline‘s oldest parks. The juxtaposition of new and old were not lost on us and we are a blessed bunch to have all of these spots. We skated with the locals, Welcome crew, and a bunch of Seattle heads were there too.
We don’t really need and excuse to skate but we used GSD to our advantage!
Go Skate!
So back in June I took a quick trip to Orcas Island for a little bit of camping and skating with Jonno and Tom. Got to meet Tom’s family also and they are a fine bunch. Orcas is an amazing place and there’s something about it that makes it seem a powerful spot.
Enjoy and go skate!
