ah the open road
some friends and i high tailed it to PDX for a great weekend of skating, sun, swimming and some beers too.
josh along with parker and andreas got some much needed sleep on the ride up.
doug, eric, and i on the other hand took in the scenery and listened to bootleg homer all the way up.
once in portland george and derrick were nice enough to get us to all the hotspots. whether it be skating, beering, or swimming they knew where to go and how to get there. (note how much fuller the van is)
i've never really been one to stop and take pictures at parks. i usually just skate and forget to document anything. the good news this trip is that i got some of eric's boardslides, andreas' tailslide, the bad news is i deleted parker's noseblunts. just one more reason to go back, i think.
after suffering the heat for a little too long josh crashed out with diesel in george's back yard. oddly enough right next door to buzzy's first place in PDX.
saturday had more heat and more skating. but more importantly we hit up this river and cooled down the best way possible. jumping in a river. it was a little local yocal but who cares this place was great.
thanks george for showing us around
and derrick for the assist on getting us around and letting us crash at his place.
well now that i have left out too many details and hilarity i will end with my traditional trunk (back of van) pic.
one more case of good times gone good.
