Fall Trip

It's that time of year again. We are all hopping in the van and hitting the road for the weekend. This weekend we are revisiting the place where this annual trip all started. Outside of St. Louis lies an epic skatepark in the woods called Hermann's Hole. JP has been kind enough to let us come stay again. It will be hard to top the first trip there, but we are sure going to try.

 

This is a photo of what was there five years ago. It looks insane now. This is my favorite trip of the year and I can't wait to hit the road!

Ryan's QP

Went and skated Ryan's new quarter pike last night. Twelve feet wide with lightning fast concrete coping.

 

Chris with a Front Rock. Ricky was impressed.

Zionsville.

Scott, Jenna, Colin, Ricky, and I all went up to skate Zionsville for the day yesterday. Jeff, Paul, and Wes met us there. The weather was perfect and we had a pretty fun sesh.

 Jeff got creative with throwing the ball for ricky while Paul and Jenna look on. Jenna is leaving us for Portland in a few days, she has been a good addition to the crew for the past couple months. 

Scott got mvp for this trip. Here he is with a frontside air over the hip.

Skate Photos

Here are a few skate photos that I haven't put up here.

 Nick Traycoff frontside bigspin.

 Shorts and T-Shirt with a lien tail from low to high. Traycoff let me borrow his fisheye for these photos.

Scott just about to touch down on a low to high bean plant. There have been a lot of epic homewoods sessions this year

Cardwell Visit

My sister and I went to Nashville TN this weekend to visit our friends Hank and Lauren and their beautiful children, Lottie, Lem, and Clay. We had a great time catching up with them. My camera stayed in the bag more than I would have liked on this trip, mostly because I was to busy having a great time.  Thanks Again to Hank and Lauren for hosting us.

Milwaukee

Chris got a new car in Milwaukee a few weeks back so Chris, Scott, Erin, and myself took a little trip to pick it up.

 Scott next to the new whip.

 Chris is going to get so many chicks in this thing.

 We had a lot of time to kill, so we went and hung out in a park for awhile. Here is Ricky demonstrating his tennis ball prowess.

 Farting in your friends face will never not be funny.

I'm Back.

I haven't had the internet for a while so I haven't been able to post anything on here. I have a ton of stuff to put up here so be prepared.

 We moved into a new place.

 It has a pear tree. It's not to often that you find a rental house with one of these. 

 

Our boss at Upland got us tickets to a suite at a reds game this weekend and a free hotel room in Cincinatti. Thanks Seth!

 We skated Colerain park the next day. Here is some shameless self promotion with a tailblock transfer over the spine. Traycoff took the photo.

 We stopped by yellow wood on the way back. It is the wettest I have ever seen it. You could still skate the top though.

Justin came down from Fortville to hang out for the weekend. It was awesome getting to hang with him. Zach came to but I don't have a photo of him. Sorry bro.
