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.

Ricky

I went through all the stuff on my gopro and found this cool picture of Ricky at lake monroe.

Fourth of July and Homewoods

I went back to Fortville for the fourth of July. We had a little crew out to my parents house to swim and camp at the pond. 

 Before that we checked out the new stuff at Hutchside.

 Timmy D. He's had a lot of coverage on the blog lately.

 Masaru! stoked your back in town. Life is short!

 I love making it back here every once in a while.

 Then we went back to Bloomington for first Thursdays. The heat kept the turnout down, but we still had a good time. Jeff with the backside ollie over the hip. Not as good as he's got them on his own turf, but still pretty sick.

 Jeff was going for some nbd shit in the big bowl. Kye was stoked.

 Next time bro.

 Joe Carroll, Benji, and LB came down from Muncie to camp and skate at Homewoods. Got the generator and lights out to beat the heat. It was an epic session. Big thanks to Ryan and Nick for making that happen.

 Ass shot of Scott's backside ollie. Find Dallas's flickr for a good photo.

 Nick was doing stand up grinds into the kong wall, not bad for being a homewoods novice.

 The rain gave us a break from the heat and a slight intermission on the sesh.

 FBDs

 Then Nick closed the session out with a frontside nosepick on the kong wall. I could be wrong but I think he may be the first for this trick. I'm sure someone will let me know if he isn't. The above photo is the the one I really wanted to turn out, but I took it a little bit to early. The bottom photo is the make.

Not a bad week.

Terre Haute Sesh

Went to Terre Haute with Chris, Scott, and Colin. We had a pretty fun evening sesh.

 Chris didn't land this back tail, but a back tail photo never gets old.

Scott with a bean plant. 

Yep Colin's good. Nollie backside.

Home Stretch

 We started heading east from Seattle to Yakima. This took us through Mt Rainer state park. This was definitely the coolest stretch of road I have even been on.

 Mt. Raindeer! We turned a corner and this popped up out of no where. We had to stop.

 We got high enough up in the mountains to drive through some snow in June.

 Chris next to the snow.

 Snow ball fight!

 This is what we in the biz like to call "art".

 As if the epic drive wasn't enough, we stumbled across an amazing camp spot right next to the river with no on around.

 The bb gun made it on the trip.

 Chris next to the fire.

The next day we made it to some natural hot springs. They felt amazing after two weeks of non stop skating. 

This is the last photo I took on the trip. Chris with a stand up grind at St Ignatius park.

A big thanks to everyone that was involved in this trip. Especially Tim for organizing it and putting Ody through 5000 miles in two weeks. Can't wait for the next one. The road goes on forever and the party never ends.

Mark's Place

After Orcas we headed to Port Townsend to visit Mark. First we stopped in Port Angeles to skate the park. This was the first park in days that actually had people at it. Lots of grown up air babies at this one.

 

Tim with another crailslide. This photo sucks but I had to put it up because it is gnarly. 

 Moose! saw this on a drive somewhere. I wish there was something their for perspective. It was huge.

 Tim with a frontside rock on a steep quarter pipe at Port Townsend. Tim has plenty of tricks but he had to go and learn my bread and butter and do it on better stuff than me. What a dick.

 This is Mark's Pizza oven. Didn't get to test it out but I have heard legendary stories about it. He also makes portable pizza ovens and takes them to festivals and farmers markets for extra dough.

 Marks wood burning hot tub. Pretty sick.

 Nasty Chinese Restaurant.

 Mark made us some full bodied tacos. Probably the best meal of the trip which is saying something. Thanks Mark!

 Homestead

 The Bano.

 Chris with a frontside ollie at Port Townsend. This park was really fun.

 Can't remember where this is, but it looks awesome.

 

The crew in front of some water fall. We saw so much stuff like this. This is a good photo of Ody the van aka the fun faucet.
