Shredding North Part 3

DAY 7.


Slept in The local sk8 park and boy was it an unbelievably rad sleep. There was Guff, Pat, Jacob and myself all in the bottom of a medium sized bowl, getting our Z on. Pat didn't have the best sleep as Jacob had lost his tent somewhere between Nevada and Idaho? I woke real early and lurked bowl side till I thought the boys had been asleep long enough, then dropped in and shredded the lines. This park has nice flow and a few big bowls. It’s got coping most the way round and grinds real well as Pat threw down F/S styles!




From there we went and met up with the local crew who had a road up in the hills for us to shred. It was a 10 minute DH with speed reaching 50's. Looking good. So eager to session another DH run after the last few hills yesterday! We get to the hill and it’s a rad crew of different levels. It’s a real nice drive up the meandering sweepers. Nice curves and not much traffic, I can see the JEDUS is gonna flow here! First run in there’s a few casualties. Peeps be getting tucked off for some apparent reason. Most of the LY crew stayed upright so we continued on with some film runs. As always, Guff was boss in it on the corner catching us on the stoke cam as we belted past in a pack at speed. EPIC. I think we had 6 runs and decided to go scuba up for the shop here in town.




Our last visit for the tour and were at Let It Ride skate shop. Paul’s the owner here and he's been waiting just a little bit for our arrival. Hard to keep a track of time when ya getting so much punch on the stoke-o-meter. Sorry mate. The kids are stoked to see us finally drive and so is Paul. He pretty much just feeds us hot dogs, offers us soda and has a small chat and leaves the rest up to us. Same as its been with all these shop visits, the carpark is full of kids and Steve, DaveR, Guff and Kyle are jammin it street styles! Yew. The crew are pumped and they're getting they're fix of posters and stickers. Off to a hills session.



This took place on the Spokane River Centennial Trail. It was buuuuuuter. So consistent and the group had mellowed so there's plenty of room to shred. The local crew love to bomb this hill. I can see why, It’s a cool bomb. We however had out fix this morning and just wanted to skid that shit up! The next few hours went into some serious sk8ing. There was a few new tricks lay'd down and I think by the look on the LY's crew faces that the feeling was of pure stoke and satisfaction. The local crew where sponges’ when it came to some pro tips! Can’t wait to see where this scene goes!




We hit the road and drive north for an Hour to our campsite. It’s the norm for the trip to be setting up late in the evening, pretty much in the dark. Tonight’s not gonna be any different!
