Day 2

This was on our way out of Bishop. We had a rough night of drinking, and wrestling,

Sir Text-a-lot

Nate is the only person I know that is sending text messages every chance he gets.
Here he is texting either my Mom or Vicky, or may be even both.
Bonneville Salt Flats Road Trip 09

Somewhere in the middle of no where.

Honestly I have no idea where I shot this. I want to say its on our way to Vegas.
Road Trip 09

And another one...

Billy Mays passed away over the weekend.
R.I.P

Jose Rojo...

Hooked up with Jose Rojo while up north.

Dream Spot...

Rojo and Kyle took us to a very secret spot in... well lets just say Huntington Beach, Texas.
Thanks again guys for taking us to your dream spot.

Who needs to buy wood...

We were just about to make a run to Home Depot for some wood, when we found this.

Line it up...

In order to hit the hip we had to make a runway, with a roll in ramp.

Lay it down...

We need a runway.

Hammer Time...

After realizing we needed more wood for the roll in, we had to find a hammer (2x4) and nails.
Jose puts the hammer down, while filmer/photographer KYLE CAMARILLO over sees

Best spot...

Got to skate this until the sun went down. Lines for days.

Found this...

Brought it home, cleaned it up, and now it's my new office phone.
Classic.

Hands down...

GABERMAN was there, photo of the day went to Nick Garcia hands down.

Setting up shop...

Camping Round 2

Headed up to Skate Camp last weekend with Tim Tim, Nick Garcia, Julian Davison, and Levi Brown.
They just built a new Mini Ramp that is seriously the best mini ramp I've ever skated.

John Demar takes a break

New Edition...

This was the only thing I skated the entire time I was there. It was the PERFECT mini ramp.
Can't wait to go back in 2 weeks.

Mini by the Lake...

Element Land...

Lake Launch...

Constant Reminder...

At the base of Stoney Creek is this sign. Its been here for over 10 years.

You got that right...

The water is ice cold, and the rocks if wet will but you on your ass or in Julians case in the river.

The Journey Begins...

Stoney Creek is not a tourist spot, every time I've been there we've had the whole place to ourselves. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Hop, skip, and a jump...

In order to get to the Natural Rock Slides you have to take a hop, skip and a jump down the gorge.
Nick has it down, cigarette in one hand, Banquets in the other.

Nick and Julian...

Nick and Julian are cousins, and rip harder and better than you on a skateboard.
This was Julians first time to Stoney Creek, and I'm sure it won't be his last.

Natural Rock Slides

Stoney Creek is full of natural rock slides, and small pools.
Normally we would be sliding down this natural rock slide, but since the Sun had gone down,
all we could do is stare at it.
Next time we'll get there earlier.

Keep em cold...

Sequoia National Forest

Skate Camp is about 30 minutes south of the Sequoia National Forest.
So of course we had to make a quick stop to check out these big ass trees.'
At one point this tree was used as a Saloon, Kitchen, and Sleeping quarters for loggers.
The whole that Chad is looking out of was used as a vent for the kitchen.

General Grant Sequoia

Its really hard to appreciate the size of these giant ass trees.
This is the 3rd largest tree
Height (feet) 268.1
Circumference (feet) 107.5
Volume (cubic feet) 46,608

I'll be back...

Going back up to skate camp on July 11th

R.I.P. M.J. and Farrah Fawcett.

Saturday June 20th

I went to this last year and it was a blast. So you should go this year.
Beers, Bikes, Bands, Boards, and BOOBS.
You'd be an idiot not to.

Happy Birthday Nick...

Today is Nick Garcia's 20th birthday. I would like to say this is a photo of Chad giving Nick a Travel Well
Cruiser board but it isn't, and he didn't. Happy 20th buddy.

Rock skating is hot in 2009...

Nick took us to a secret spot of his, and of course as soon as we got there we got the boot.
But we will be back...

The Crew...

Who's board...

Striking Similarities...

Element Cones are so hot right now...

Killing Time...

Since we got the boot from the rock spot, we figured we would kill sometime until the coast was
clear.

Class of 1990...

I saw this poster at the rock spot, and it reminded me of the time my Mom ask me if I wanted my Senior Yearbook, and my response to her was "Hell nah Ma, I don't care about those hicks, buy me a skateboard instead." Pretty ironic that this is a poster for yearbooks with skateboarders on it, I wonder if they really want a year book.

Posse Up...

We had a damn crew with us.

Today was a good day...

Everyone put something down on the ole rock spot. Funny thing is when we first got there I thought to myself no one would even want to skate it. The crew checking out Tim Tim sequence .

Storm Riders...

We hit a few bad storms on this trip. This one in particular stood out because of the lightning, rain, and tremendous wind.
As soon as I saw this cloud I new it was time to pull over and put the rain gear on.
Road Trip 09

Things you see...

As soon as I saw this guy a passed him to get in front
of him so a could get off my bike and shoot a photo of him.
Not sure where he was going but, he's probably still on the road.

Cathedral Gorge

This was one of the best campsites, we basically had the whole place to ourselves.
