Home Land

First off, all apologies to everyone that may have been expecting constant updates from the road while the gang and I were in Florida. Believe me, I had every intention of doing so but eventually getting back to the hotel at 10pm and updating your blog becomes a little low on the priority list. Things like food, beer and sleep usually take over. That being the case, I'm cramming this post full of photo goodies and stories from the road. Enjoy!

Jamie got a little broke off at this spot...

Then Hugo barged Jamie's session.
"Oh maaaan I want an epic hero shot too!"

These jerks barged our session at the brick
quarter pipes. Look close!

Bow Digga, feeble stall.

Checkerboard spot in Atlanta.

Why is this here? Epic spots.

Hilliard, light test.

Jamie, kinky 5050 on a filmer board
downtown Miami.

Jamie, epic face.

Mikey, more epic spots.

Dan Ray, 5050.

Hugo, wallie over....

but not before he threw some gang signs.

Mitch "That's Gang Related" Pryma, 5050
past the curb.

A sad, sad man named Sonny
that we met at the spot. Hopefully
he's still alive right now.

Hugo on the hunt for some crocs while we
stopped in 'gator country.

Some cool trees by a spot we were skating.

Spring break? More like SPRING FRANK!
Yes that is Mitch Pryma.

Downtown Miami at night.

A young gunner(seriously) having some fun
on my board.


I shot this timelapse on our drive from
Windsor to Florida beginning with frigid snow
and ending up in the beautiful sunny weather.

Hola!

We finally made it to Barcelona! Bad weather, cancelled flights, getting switched to different planes and lost luggage made one hell of a journey getting here. That airplane food didn't help either.

But the city...ah yes, the city. The architecture is like no other place I've seen. To me, it seems like this entire city was made with a skateboarder in mind. Lightly-cracked sidewalk blocks so your wheels clicked, granite everything and perfect ledges everywhere really made all of us ask, "Why does this exist?!" Our new homie Pedro has been showing us around and even hooked us up with a spot book he made. What is normal to him has been blowing our minds with every other push through the city, I honestly mean it. So far we're just "skate tourists" in this city while Pedro shows us around. Soon enough we will be getting down to business...if you know what I mean.

This thing.

This probably shouldn't exist, but it does.

Not actually.

This place blew our minds.



Five spots in one? Sure, why not!

Is your mind blown yet?
