After the brisk skate in the cold weather, we departed for Amarillo Texas. Nice park, full pipe and cradle! We got there about 3:am and fell asleep in the RAD-MOBILE!

I was kind of sick and tired... look at that face!


In the morning we woke up and skated from about 6 to 7:am! Then we hit the road destined for Albeque... Albequir... SHIT! That place! We got there about 4:pm and we skated for a bit.
Rusty scuffed his palms...

After those crashes and bashes, we departed for Tempe, determined to make the evening session! We Failed. Saturday morning we started skating with the rest of the crew at Peoria and a Glendale park. I met Charles there and let me tell you, he is very pleasent! We took no pictures. Then we were at Trish's backyard pool and we took loads!
I had the pleasure of skating with a very intense group of skaters!
Also Patti, she is wonderful!

(I know a lot of those were similar... DEAL!!)
Then we hit X park which was MY favorite park of the trip. I felt right at home in that big bowl! Wonderful!
On Sunday was the BBQ! I swilled a load of beer, Aired over rusty and chewed the air during a dust storm!

Then we went to a pool that I am not sure what to call it. Lets say its the "Jean is Gnarly and totally rad" pool! Thats where the rest of the pictures are from! Everyone at this pool had there soul in the pool. It burned in their eyes and and stung with evey breath. it was a session that you don't get to often, you feel evey carve, every slash and every crash as if it was your own. Patti over the light, Bill bringing some flavor with his unique lines, Jean hitting tile frontside, Pat (?) KILLING the coping, Cap'n AMERICA Cruisin and bruisin'!, Dreadlox bring calm energy and a warm smile, Dagger Steve riding hard, and Texas vibrating our feet with a shuddering slam, and Dan OWNING the air on HUGE frontsides! We were all in the pool together and it pushed us all to the edge! SO MUCH FUN! Rare session indeed!

We met a million people and I think I may forget some, in which case, I'm sorry! But to eveyone, I loved every second of it. My one regret did not come on a skateboard. It was that I didn't get to make out with Patti...


Anyway! Thanks to OMA for putting this on! I look forward to several more times in the future, and seein all the friends I have made during the inbetween times!

oh and it snowed on us on our way home!

After the snow we became killers, killers of tumbleweeds!
