Benji Galloway Cinco De Margo 2013This 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!!

Finally things are looking a lot like skate time! Not that every time isn’t skate time but around Seattle and the Pacific Northwest in general it can be pretty dark and wet and though this year we have a few more undercover options we still have a log of cool skateparks to enjoy. A good sunny skate day at Southpark!

We have had ourselves a pretty good time keeping up with what’s happening around the area. Marginal Way had some fund raisers lately which were pretty successful and we were able to donate 300 bucks so far from Poster sales which is pretty sweet.

We’ve got a couple skate pals who are down but not out with knee injuries and even a lacerated kidney. We wish speedy recoveries and we can’t wait to skate with them again.

We are also working on some new shirts, hoodies and other crap for your grubby little mitts to get your hands on at hopefully more places in the Seattle area and of course, as always, on line. Oh My Kidney!

So here’s to longer sunnier days of skating and some road trips to places we haven’t skated yet. We hope to see you out there working on expanding you bag of tricks, having a good time and keeping the bill collectors at the pain bank at bay.

Thanks for playing! Now go skate!!
