Portugal September 2008

Went to Portugal a little over a year ago with Tombo, Took, Falla, and Lim.

When we arrived we had a fantastic meal, then drank some coffee.

We met up with our homie Jose, who is  the best dude in Portugal.  This is the apt. We stayed at in Porto.  

My room had a view of a cornfield, and the living room had a view of the ocean.  It was crazy.

Our second day we packed up into this little van and drove all day to the city of Faro, in the south. And then we returned to Porto the following day.

We got there at night, and Falla took a moment to reflect.

Tombo was hyped on the drive.

Lim was in deep thought.

This is Casa de Musica, an amazing spot in Porto

The view from our apt. in Porto

Killin it

A gem of a spot near Porto.

Deeli was on the trip, pleasure to have him on board.  He was full of excitement at this point.

Packing up the van, and on our way to Lisbon.

Took had to mentally prepare himself.

Then it was party time!!!!

Lisbon by night

Most cities in Portugal have mosaic tile sidewalks and cobble stone streets.  Which are amazing looking, but don't lend themselves very well to skating from spot to spot.

We stayed at a really nice hostel in Lisbon called Lisbon Calling.  Check it out if you're ever out there, nice people, and a nice place.

Hercules packed the van while his mignon Danny Falla was on security.

Limjob almost took her down.

The crowds gathered

As the crew sessioned the local warm-up spot.

The last day it rained and we went to some wine cellars in Porto.

Farewell Portugal!

London May 2009

Last May I went to London with Mulhern, Jeb, and Bdugz

We stayed at Rory's place half the time, and Lucien's the other half.

BDugz took an interest in the snails in Rory's garden.

And the snails seemed to take an interest in Rory's shoe.

I fell and split my head opened the first day.  Psyched.

London

This guy skates sometimes

BDugz represented

We ran into some local gangsters at this spot.

We tried to skate this bowl, but there was a little problem.

One day it rained so we went out to a park with Rory's dog.

This is his dog Frayer.  Full of energy.

Farhad, in the woods.

 The master and his beast.

Mulhern, back to nature, in his element.

wind water fire earth

wow

Jeb had a great time in London

We skated a spot while BDugz wandered off only to get beat in a game of basketball by some Lithuanians.  Jersey was taken to the cleaners that day.

Jin killed it.

Fish and Chips, along with other assorted fried foods.

We went to the Blob lands and it rained once we got off the train.  As you can see BDugz was hyped.

Almost as hyped as these kids.

If you haven't heard, Dugz can do switch back tails really well.

And Jeb can do this even better.

This is a scary one.

Good bye London
