<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the spring of 2013, Landyachtz purchased a 15 seat van, and what not a better way to break it in, then a mission down the pacific coast. The trip consisted of Nick Breton, Travis Craig, Dave Rudgers, Kyle Martin, Jon Huey taking photos, and Dave Leslie on the video. Some of the photos you see below are those that were featured in the Breaking in the Van artical from the SkateSlate early summer edition, plus a few extras that weren't included. The footage captured on this trip was injected into different product videos, but there was still many hours of behinds the scenes footage, that had yet to be edited and seen by the public. Check out this awesome 10 minute video that shoes the chaos and awesomeness that goes on during these road trips!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Michael Brooke, has created a movement, which he hopes one day will help
bring joy and happiness to some of the most volatile and dangerous areas around
the world. Whether it's the ongoing geopolitical war in the Middle East or if
it's the rough </span><span style="font-size: 12px;">neighborhoods</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> of Houston, Texas, he has found a way to help
kids in these communities become more confident, and has given them an
opportunity they would not otherwise have.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The foundation is called Longboarding for Peace. Michael first started
off by flying to Israel with $10000 worth of gear for the local children to
use. The major goal here was to help show this younger generation within these
areas that there was no differences between Arabs, and Israelis and that we are
all human beings and we should all get along. By having everyone working
together, without the bias of religion, the children eventually learned to
balance and also roll around on these boards, all with each other's help.
Michael saw this amazing transformation and ever since has been on a path,
sharing the importance of harmony and understanding, throughout the entire
world. By giving these types of opportunities to less fortunate people around
the world, Micheal hopes to decrease the amount of pain and suffering that goes
unseen in parts of the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
This is just one of many missions that Michael Brooke has accomplished
recently, and we just want to say that we couldn't be happier to be involved
with such an amazing cause. Longboarding for peace is only possible from
donations so please go show them some support and e go follow them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Longboard4Peace?fref=ts"><span style="color: blue;">Facebook</span></a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/concretewavemag"><span style="color: blue;">Twitter</span></a>, and <a href="http://instagram.com/longboardingforpeace"><span style="color: blue;">Instagram.</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> 2013 was great! I
started the season knowing I didn't want to be overly competitive and just do
the events I wanted to do. I also wanted to skate and get involved in some cool
projects that would have more of a lasting effect than a World Cup Season
would, I think what I mapped out worked great! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This was my first year at Guajataka
in Puerto Rico and that was a wild event! I've never seen a race course with
that many people scattered on it before. Ponce in Puerto Rico was my kind of
road too. One of those places where you’re just on the end of traction, hauling
ass but not quite drifting. I even got to go back to Puerto Rico a second
time in April to compete at a smaller event and get a better local feeling in
San Juan, which was super cool too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Back in North America, I had a blast
at the 2 Maryhill events I attended, both the Festival of Speed and the She
Ride. I also had an undeniably good time at the Mayhem of Danger Bay and
Brittania. My favorite trip, hands down though was the road trip from Vancouver
to Southern California and back for the Catalina Classic. Catalina is already
on my to-do list for next year!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

with the Longboard girls crew!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> I was there late August/early
September with 13 other female riders and a production crew filming OPEN. The
movie is directed by Daniel Eutera who was documenting our experiences
exploring and skating throughout the country. There are a lot of fantastic
downhill runs there, I had a blast and I skated pretty good when it was my turn
on camera, so I'm excited to see how the video comes out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My favorite part of the trip was
just the general van life that I am so accustomed to. I ended up driving
quite a bit which is awesome, because I am a race car driver at heart. I get a
lot of satisfaction in not only mapping out the skateable roads, but the ground
I cover behind the wheel as well. We had some really cool locals showing us
some great spots, I think the road that led to the sea of Galilei was my
favorite spot to skate. Another cool thing about driving around living the van
life, is that you get to see and hear a lot of history that way. I wasn't
raised in a political family nor do I have ties to a region so it was
interesting to see firsthand what was actually happening in Israel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Also, on the way home I had an 8
hour layover in Rome. I was lucky enough to meet up with my new friend Mary, who
happens to be an awesome Facebook fan. She picked me up with her brother and
gave me an amazing tour of the Vatican City at midnight. That was quite the
experience. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

it bothered me either. Being from Vancouver I'm pretty exposed to a wide range

did have a rooftop moment with multiple loudspeakers and bells chiming that was

<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was beyond hot! I flew
straight to Israel from Southern California so I was pretty heat adjusted upon
arrival, especially since the van I was driving around in got double as hot as
the Israeli sun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Plus, those who know me, know that
I'm pretty much dressed head to toe in black all day, every day, so I was
cracking jokes that I had been training for the heat my whole life. I tried to
put on some lighter colors for filming though. When I wasn't skating I spent a
lot of time in board shorts and tank tops; I won't skate anything serious
without jeans and a t-shirt or my leathers, I guess it's a comfort thing but I
also don't skate slow roads. You should have seen how much road rash all the
other girls were getting on their hips and bodies. That’s what happens when you
hit the pavement in short shorts and a small girly tee. I like going out and
dressing up but when I'm on the roads I'm dressed for the occasion. The only
leather skate I did we had to be at the hill around 5am so luckily it
wasn't too hot yet. That was the desert run in the south, there's going to be
some good footage there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Yes!! The Dead Sea was awesome! With
that road rash on all the girls I just spoke of it was quite the feat for most
of them to get into the water. I just jumped in and watched them flinch as they entered the
saltiest water they'd ever been in. Truth be told, all of these girls are all
tough as nails and they turned out to be fine with it. I was expecting some
screaming. You really do float there, it was an amazing experience just kind
of hanging in the water and moving around wherever you wanted to go with very
minimal effort from your arms or legs. I made the mistake of wiping my
eyes with my hand very briefly and had to walk back to shore doing the blind
walk where your eyes are closed and your hands are in front of you making sure
you don't hit anything, it hurt so bad! We were there at 9am and the
water was already so hot, I couldn't imagine what it would be like in the
afternoon. I can tolerate insanely hot baths and showers but I don't
think I'd want to be in mid-day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On board, the worst was when Marisa
was filming a shot and there was a car slowly approaching her while she was
bombing at high speed. We screamed and begged for it to stop because she was on
course. No joke, this guy just straight up accelerated into Cami as she stepped
in front of him. Luckily she didn’t get hit, but she was serious about stopping
the car in its tracks. I've never experienced anything like that before. I
guess the reason why the guy wasn’t going to stop was because it's 'common' for
terrorist groups to use females in distress as a disguise on a roadside attack.
Once the car stops then the real bad guys jump out of the bushes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Still though, the sketchiest thing was
the actual fact that we were there right when Obama was threatening to strike
Syria, the neighboring country. In return, Syria warned they would 'Put Israel
in flames' if the US Army did go forth with an attack. We were in the south
while that was going on and we could hear the fighter jets practicing and
monitoring the area, it is the loudest sound I have ever heard coming from the
sky. It's like a drag racer beside you, but you can't see where the noise is coming
from. Once you even hear the first whisper of the jet it is safe to say it is
absolutely nowhere in your field of sight. After that you have this minute or
so long hiss that just progressively gets louder and louder to the point of
pretty much shaking the ground and then gradually declines again. Hearing
something faster than the sound barrier was an unbelievable experience and a
little frightening at times. I remember whispering to Amanda in our room
one night, no matter what happened we would get home together, even though as a
rule of thumb no matter where you are, you follow the vibes of the locals.
Fortunatley for us they weren't really all that worried. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

they have a fairly big scene there. Funny thing is, when a bunch of girls show
up to your local spot and shred it so hard, probably harder than anyone else, you’re
going to have a good time watching it. Aside from skate locals, I don't think
there were really any problems with citizens minus that one ordeal with Marisa,

Foreigners are forbidden there but skateboarders are forbidden in a lot

own eyes was Jenna Russo from Australia, she is one of the coolest chicks ever,
seriously. Anyways I was shuttling a run at a downhill spot we had been filming
at all morning so when the second van of girls showed up wanting to skate I had
no problem getting behind the wheel for them. Jenna just kind of
miscalculated how fast this one left was and smacked the pavement with her t-shirt
rolled up resulting in a gnarly belly rash, her belly button looked like an
eyeball on a face after that. Another super bummer bail was Amanda going down
on one of the first shots of the first day when someone took a bad line
shutting down in front of her. She was wearing jean shorts and hit some
gravel on the side of the road basically eliminating the skin from one of her
thighs, it's a good thing she had her G-forms on to protect her knee caps.
She absolutely killed it for the rest of the trip considering what was
lingering on her leg, you'd never know by her performance how hurt she
was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".Helvetica NeueUI","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Um, just a continuation of
what I am up to right now. One of my main goals for this season was just to
have a good attitude amongst all the other girls. A lot of them are getting
really fast but don't have a lot of competition experience yet. I just want to
make sure that everyone maintained the awesome attitude that they did throughout
this last season. The girls I started racing with aren't racing anymore for that
exact reason and I think it's important for me to keep showing up to races and
showing my support. I've gone plenty fast down plenty hills and I'm not worried
about my capabilities, in fact I'm more comfortable with myself than I ever
have been. It's just that I'm finally getting beat off start lines now and the
women's field has reached a point where the start is really important. More
than anything I just want to stay on my board and preach 'slow down before you
are going to fast' so that as these fast girls get into heavier racing, they do
it safely. I've been at this for a while now, I'm not going to fall in a
race heat anymore and I don't want anyone to take me out either, that's why I'm
a little selective with the events I participate in or how heavy I push off the
start line. I've had some injuries that these girls haven't, and
hopefully won't experience. Don't mistake me though, just because my
interest isn't in being seen as the fastest doesn't mean I've lost my touch ;) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

grinding some coffee beans in the kitchen. Still drunk from the night before, I
staggered out of bed and began packing immediately. The Eh Team van swung
through at 8 sharp to pick me up. Guff, Jacob, Yatesy, and Frankie all greeted
me with an excited “Goodmorning Cunt!”. We ripped over to Charlie's place to
pick him up before heading over to the legendary Bon’s for an awesome, cheap
and delicious breakfast with crappy coffee. After Bon’s breaky we split and
began the long voyage north on the Sea to Sky Highway. It was my first time on
the gorgeous Sea to Sky and there were some of the most beautiful views I've
ever seen! Mountains meet the ocean in the most spectacular way. The dense, low
slung clouds seemingly consumed the mountain tops giving off a vibe of mystery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

flats of beer (Fuck man! Canada charges an arm and leg for booze. What the hell
is the deal man!) and some brooms from the local hardware store and we are back
on the road! As we approached Whistler I thought it was about time for a
shotgun, this sudden “Shotgun!” call became a standard on the trip. Beautiful

schedule. A short drive after the shotgun stop we make a detour at Ben
Dubreuil’s to say “What's up!?”. Yup, that means another beer or three. While
at Ben’s the sky opened up a little and wet the roads down. So we took a ride
up this rad gnarly highway road and my ears kept popping around every hairpin.
Fuck man this road was righteous!! Steep as fuck with tight hairpins. About
half way up the road we entered those still low-hanging clouds. Fog all around,
cold damp air engulfing us.We rip up this mountain and after a bit we stumble
across a rad river with a massive log jam spanning the width. We burn out into
the turn off, kick our shoes and socks off, roll up out pants and sprint to the
water. A solid 13* Celsius and we are freezing in the pissing rain trying to
make our way out onto the logs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

accommodation built for all the high profile business associates comprises of 5
high-rise buildings, the 1st of which is twice the size and is oddly shaped.
The 5 buildings together are meant to resemble a dragon swimming toward
Tiananmen Square. The architecture is off the hook. It's been super busy as its
a long weekend to celebrate the "Mid Moon". There's people out flying
kites and riding bikes. It's great to see how passionate these people are about

Tower, The Emperor's Garden and end up at The Forbidden City. Back in the
dynasty period women weren't allowed to leave the city to find a soulmate, they
were considered the property of the emperor. If he wanted them, they had no
choice. If he didn't, they spent their lives in solitude never to be wed. At
the end of the period there was around 1000 women and girls living like this
inside the walls. Most of them chose suicide or murder if they had fallen
pregnant by the emperor, to protect their newborn daughter of living in those
conditions. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">We didn't get to Tiananmen Square because it's </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">getting</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> dark and we still
had to visit the first longboard store in Beijing. This is where it started to
get really interesting. As if it wasn't busy enough already on the roads, it's
getting dark and there seems to be even more traffic, cars, </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">susses</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> bikes,
carts and humans that just pop out for behind parked cars! That's another
thing, car parks? Not likely! Wherever there's room, there's someone trying to
force a spot, most times not even being off the road???? All this aside we belt
into a shitty little alley and went right down the end. It was at this stage I
would've felt uneasy if it wasn't for the company. The Longboard Store is a
tiny little outfit with a shit load of gear. It's got a great variety of all
boards, wheels and trucks. It was this that concreted the seriousness of the
local scene here in Beijing. Great shop, great crew, great city! </span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

something different. On tonights menu, Donkey! Fair dinkum. We were asked if we
wanted to try organs or meat. Both Jacob and I were keen on meat but thought
we'd sample a bit of donkey organs as well. We had Donkey meat soup, rotten egg
that was cured in mud as a side, some beans, radish and slaw and a Donkey
Intestine burger. Surprisingly, it all tastes pretty nice. I'd definitely try
it all again! </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Olympic Park. They built an access road and a tunnel right in the middle as a
means of accommodating the excess traffic for the Olympics and presently don't
use it at all. This is Beijing's “secret” session spot as the locals put it.

its full potential. There's so much out there that's assumed to be undiscovered
gold. I hear of random stories from one group to the next of the surroundings
of their individual cities. Good thing for me, I've made their acquaintance and
we are now good friends. Offers have been thrown at us to come and visit them
in their respective cities. Now it'd be stupid of me to share these places, I
guess ya'll gonna have to see it as it gets uncovered by LY. I'd like for
this to be the case anyway. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">As I lay here in bed, listening to Jacob snore, I can't help but think
of the good times that we've had here in Beijing. Joe and Shan from XWing
distribution are throwing bulk dollar into the community of long boarding,
spurring growth within the country, growth such as longboard.cn which is
primely ran by our man K (Haohan). He represents both these brands well
and together with a great support network, China's longboard scene is on the
way to great things. It's already achieved so much in such a short time. It
pays homage to its people, hard working at sustaining a lasting culture. These
guys are the newest in this massive family of people that share a love of
longboarding and its an absolute privilege to have spent this short but very
intense look into their scene, their language, their culture, their country.
Already lookin forward to the next time I get #dragonpitted with these guys. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">After 20 hrs of traveling I arrive at Beijing International airport. The
size of the city was hard to depict from the air as the pollution was the worst
I’ve ever been witness too. I'd have to say the visibility is in the range of
150 meters, not an inch more. The thorough work that went into planning for a
visa I was expecting a pretty full on time passing through customs. The first
sign of how intense it was gonna be was the Heat Transfer u have to pass
through, for what I don't know? The lineup is off the hook and it’s got to be
in 85-90% humidity. Peeps everywhere. Guess it’s just a small look at what’s to
come, at least this is somewhat organized!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Quality!! What a sleep! Really helps sleeping with a full belly!
Comatose! Today we were to check out of our hotel and catch the train up to the
Olympic Forest Park. The weather has unfortunately come across wet with a few
more showers planned to set in over the course of the day. You'd think with
some rain it’d cool things down. Quite the opposite. Moist and needing water we
jam into the train. Epic, it's got AC! Winning. We rode the number 8 line that
was new for the Olympics and the reasoning behind using the number 8, it is in
fact a sign of fortune and wealth, I guess they thought the Olympic Games was going
to be good for their economy. For us it was the case that we were fortunate to
have our fair paid for and ride in air conditioned comfort north to Olympic
Forest Park. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

and wonder why? They soon caught on that it was all turning wheels, wet or dry!
There was a small presentation to introduce the start of the 3 day festival.

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">The events that were on the cards for today are the push race, flatland
freestyle and the hippy jump. Punters lined up at the start line for the push
race. Jacobs deep on the startling getting the shot and I was on the edge of
the road further up waiting to see the carnage. Crew threw down and as with any
Chinese style start, I'm pleased to say there was carnage. Boards and bodies flying
everywhere! I kicked in from the back of the field and felt the need to haul,
not far behind the lead, finishing in 5th. Jacob had a joke and said"

peeps be </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">dropping</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> and by the time it was at 1200mm there were only 3 punters
left. The winner jumped a height of 1300mm his name converted was

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">To finish up the day it was the flatland freestyle. I was asked to
judge? I was down and good thing for me I've been touching on my Mandarin cause
the score sheet was hectic to say the least. These guys really get down on their
flatland stuff. No wonder when the whole of the Beijing area is mondo flat! It
was pretty cool seeing what tricks they all had dancing, spins, manuals, finger
flips, u all get the point, they were getting tricky! The girls who competed
where stylin and could have competed against the guys! The girl’s final was run
and there was one that stood ahead of the rest in her abilities. The guys, not
so much. 4 riders got thrown in to an elimination game of Skate. The winner was
last year’s champ. He skated damn well, flowing and fast. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Today’s event is the slide jam and longest slide comp! Yeah, finally
were hitting some hills. The hotel we stayed at was at the foothills of the
mountains to the north of Beijing. Its beautiful. Its peaceful. The green and
the air is fresh. Now this is what id imagined the outer areas to be like. Its
gonna be a great day! As we meander over to the hill with all the days goodies,
the road impresses me right away. Its not at all the steepest hill but the
pavement was perfect blacktop. Not a fault. Smooth uber butter was here in the
middle of the mountains. It looked brand new! The spot we were to jam was a
small section that was around 200 meters long and the viewing was easy from
anywhere on the edge. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">There were some really different styles. Some crew got down on the hard
wheels. Some hands down. Some faster standees. There was a great mix of it all.
Some of the guys from the flatland comp where showing they could also throw
down on the downhill styles. It was really fun just jamming with all these
different styles ya know, everyone was their own, doin it their way. Thats wat
i love about this sport. Freedom of expression. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">We skated for the best part of 5 hours before crew sat down to have
lunch. Meals here are an occasion and the time is spent bonding with either
your family of your friends. Its a respectful time thats part of the culture.
Same as yesterday, ricebox's were the treat. Joe brought Jacob and I over
ours and we sat down and chowed down with everyone else. After lunch it was the
longest slide comp. The way they run things is very regulated here. Nothing
like a slide comp of the US or Canada. There's a system they do things here and
it must work for them. Its 1 rider at a time, they introduce the rider to the
road and then he/she will mob in and jam a slide. Didn't really matter </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">whether</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> u
did it hands down or not, there was a different score for each. As with any of
the events over the last day and a bit, we are here to support the scene and
sk8 with the riders. We're not gonna just show up and take all they're prizes.
Its funny because longest slides went to me and Jacob. Jacob got me by a lousy
meter sliding his way to peoples hearts with an impressive 17 meters on the
flatter part of the hill. The longest slide was actually awarded to
"Light" from the Tiger Surf Shop Team from Taiwan. He now has won two
of the weekend's events, doin it all on LY gear!</span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">Best trick came next. Again, 3 runs to showcase your trick, one at a
time. There were some really interesting tricks being attempted and also being
landed. Cross step slides, Hard Wheel, Shov-its, crazy foot off board action?
Its like some of them are </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">doing</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> martial arts of some sort while they are </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">rolling</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> down the hill. Epic. It was hard to pick a winner as the different styles made
the individuals tricks epic in their own right. I had to give best trick of the
girls to a hands down 360 spin. For the guys, a fella named "onion"
won it with a super stylish toeside skid into a shov-it, again to the guy that
won the flatland event. Apparently, he skates street real good? Another great
day nearly over, time to head back into the city.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">As I've mentioned, the hospitality has been second to none. The Xwing
Crew have gone out of their ways to make sure Jacob and I have everything we
need and more. Dinner tonight is at a Beijing Duck BBQ that is over 600 years
old. That's right, they been cooking duck for 600 years and believe it when i say
that its been the same fire that's been burning for the whole time! Hows that
for cultural belief. That's doing it right! Shan asked us if there is anything we
won't eat. NANANANANA was the response and when the food came to that table I
could see the look on Jacobs face was one of intrigue. What are we about to eat?
All parts of the Duck done different ways, nothing to waste. There was Duck
Head, brain and all, tongue, kidney, liver, stomach, egg, wing, and yeah there
was some normal breast and leg meat as well, to go with the pancakes. These are
all delicacies of the Beijing area and its a privilege to share this meal with
our new friends. Chinese Rice Wine at 42% accommodates the meal cleansing the
palate to get the most out of all the different flavours! It was HEAVY! Its an
epic feast as always!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

funny as the translation at times can be a little weird, especially after a few
brews and that bloody Rice Wine. Tomorrow, we skate through Beijing and see the
sites!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

A little over 50 skaters got together on the North Shore of Oahu on Saturday, September 14th for the Hawaiian Ridge Rusher 3. The 1st of 6 events in the series.<br />
<br />
We all gathered at the beach to meet, greet and get signed up. Then the cars full of skaters paraded up the hill to the jam zone. Once getting parked we all HIKED into to road. The cool thing about this zone is its a heavenly slab of butter in the middle of the forest... therefor cars have little, to no access to the road. Pretty epic huh? Downside... its about a 2 mile hike to get to get in there and its nothing but hills. So your pretty beat just from the walk in! BUT, its soo worth it.<br />
<br />
<br />
When we all got to the jam zone we went straight to warm up runs, no need for last minute clean up thanks to the early bird crew. There were up bright and early sweeping the course to ensure that it would be pristine.<br />
<br />
Once riders got some runs under their belts and looked comfortable, we had our riders meeting, made the bracket for the day and got started.<br />
<br />
The Ridge Rusher course is a fairly easy course. Just under 1 mile long, riders go through several dips, 2 quick uphill sections, and back to back sweeper turns. No drifting is needed, some of the top riders barley brake tuck for the whole course. Oh ya! We also have a limited push box at the start line to keep things fun. This usually makes for some tight, intense heats.<br />
<br />
<br />
From the very first heat of round 1, this year was proving to be no different. Every 4 man heat was full of passes and held tight till they crossed the finish. With the road cleaner then we've ever had it, riders could take any line they needed to get that win. After everyone battled it out the top 2 from every heat moved on. Some series veterans moved on but there were also lots of new faces killing it!<br />

<br />
<br />
Round 2 there were 8 heats of 4 riders, every heat was stacked.<br />
<br />
The heats rolled on smoothly and lots of the past years event finalist were knocked out already... including Nikko Kamanuwai who had won this event every year its happened! The King of the hill has been dethroned.<br />
<br />
Now its the quarter finals of event 1, the top 16 skaters on the hill are focused and ready. 4 heats of 4. Riders from all areas of Oahu.<br />
<br />
<br />
The heats were tight from the moment i said GO!<br />
All 4 skaters would sprint and jump on their boards at the end of the push box... from there it was a constant switch off. Throughout this course there are multiple prime spots to make clean passes and the skaters took advantage of every one of em.<br />

Another round of NUTS racing flew by, leaving us with our top 8 riders of event 1.<br />
Semi Final 1 was Ian Coronas, Kenny Bergstrom, Evan Twigg Smith and Rhys Morishima. And Semi Final 2 was KJ Nakanelua, Dante Alston, Josh Perry and Jordan Teets.<br />
HAMMAHZ!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We gave the riders a few minute break, cleared the course and the consilation final was under way.<br />
The consi was tight as the shallow end of a pool! As the riders came around the final right bend, Dante and Kenny broke away for a drag race to the finish. Jordan and Rhys followed closely behind.<br />

<br />
BOOM! Finals Time.<br />
"Racers ready, set.... GO!" i said and the racers were sprinting! KJ getting the front position out of the push box as the rolling 3 fell in line. Racers kept it close, Evan Twigg Smith managed to weave from 4th to 2nd in line through out the middle of the course. As they came around the last bend KJ's smile could be seen for miles! He knew he had locked down 1st Place. Within seconds of KJ coming across the finish, the rest of the heat came by in a line. Everyone stoked on a good day of racing.<br />

<br />
<br />
Following the event we gave riders a little freeride time since the stoke was still in the air.<br />
I went to clean up the tops bit and take a run down. This resulted in me crashing and breaking my clavicle, getting stitches and tearing all sorts of things... there goes my chance of racing H.W.O.S this year! Not the highlight of the day.<br />
<br />
Once we all got off the hill, we headed down to the beach where we rewarded our top 8 riders with CASH MONEY to help them get to the next events. Then we passed out schwag to as many riders as we could.<br />
<br />
Nothing but Smiles.<br />
A GREAT kick off event to yet another Hawaii Winter Outlaw Series.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">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!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">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.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">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.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">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! </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">WOW! Couldn't have asked for a better sleep. Its late in the morning at
9:30 when Guff gives me the oi,oi,oi ! Rise and shine. We make our way out for
the day. Today we visit one of the first shops for the trip. We clean up and
head for the shops. Breaky of champions this morning, full health kick.
Wheatgrass shot with a carrot, mango, ginger and apple smoothie. Buy mondo
amounts of grilling goods for the groms. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Hit up the skatepark just down from the shop. South Jordan is on our itinerary
and none of us know what it’s like. One thing we can assume is, if Pat has labelled
it as part of the trip, you can guarantee that it’s got a nice bowl where we
can jam some nice lines! We were right on our assumptions. It’s a rad little
park done right. Neat and clean. It’s got a great bowl on one end, with three
sections. A10ft, 8ft, 6ft peanut style and beside that was a cool little street
section with flat banks, rails and step ups. We jam here and get some goods for
an hour before we bounce to the shop. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Salty Peaks is just one of the local shops supplying the groms here with
all they're skate gear but it’s the only one stocking LY products. They had a
great range of gear, and the ceiling was full of old school stuff pre 80's!
Great museum. The crew was around 40 people and they were out the front lurkin
in the carpark waiting for our arrival. It was great to see all the smiles and
pure stoke on some of the kids’ faces when we rolled up! Now this is what I
love about doing this stuff!!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">We rally and have a grill out the back and throw down some comps of
different prizes. It seems that these kids like to hippy jump and slide, so
that was the order of the afternoon. After a feed and a winner in the hippy and
high jumps, the masses are getting rowdy and want to start doing slides in the
carpark?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"> I suggested we go to a local hill. Straight up, they threw out all the
rad spots and we were on the way to a killer session up in the foothills! Spent
the next few hours jamming and offering advice to the younger crew who weren't
quite at that standard. Got the posters out and gave the groms some autographs
for their walls and stoke collections. Just in time too as it started to rain. It’s
epic to see that so many different styles and levels came out to hang with us.
From what I heard, a lot of them traveled some distance just to be there! Epic!
Thanks Salt Lake City!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">The van decided that it was best to bail Salt Lake and head North to
twin peaks. As it was we'd be driving for the next 3 hours and getting there
around dark. On the way we fill up gas, literally in the middle of nowhere, at
a gas station, lurked a Donkey and an Alpaca out the front. Random! Just out
from twin Peaks was the Hanson Bridge where it crossed the Snake River. There’s
a rad story behind this place. In brief, a mondo flood from back in the day,
400ft tall wall of water rushed down here as a dam wall failed at Lake
Bonneville, and emptied to the sea. Get on the net to check out more on this
one!! </span></div>

the local park. The boys waste no time. All are out jamming lines and mixing it
with the local crew. Its soooo flowy. You can just roll round this thing for
days! The pavements perfect. It’s got a small little roll in bowl at one end, a
flat bank section in the middle and a 6ft section with coping in the other end!
Had a chat to a few of the loc's on where to eat and we bounced in search for
food. It was to Mexican, 24 hrs styles. And wat a feed. Yes! Good, cheap, no

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Slept under the stars for the second night in 4 days of trekking. That’s
livin. As we always make the most out of our days, by the time we look for a
place to lay, its late, its dark and sometimes it’s just a case of
"this'll do"! That’s the case last night. Midnight and we pull into
some dirt track beside Shoshone Falls and set up. It’s a beautiful morning,
layin there as the birds are chirping, then it’s the typical symphony of
snoring and farts! Boys will be boys. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">We bounce towards the falls and hit the access road that leads down to
the falls. It’s starting to rain. We get one run in and the big drops and the presence
of the local sheriff made us think that maybe we should do the tourist thing
for a while. Hit up the falls and get the shots we need and the local ranger
came and had a chat to us and told us of a few rad roads and swimming holes
nearby. Listen we did, to ranger Gary!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">The next few hours was so epic. What we sampled was absolutely amazing.
Like no other. This piece of gold had never been sampled by skaters in the area
before and I know why. Its steep, its narrow, its gnarly! It’s in Idaho?
Amazing, Epic, off the rails are a few ways to describe what we had dived head
first into. The weather was still not on our side with shoals of heavy rain
passing over. Boys scattered for the caves on the side of the tight narrow
road. Gary had told us that if we weren't happy with the weather in Idaho, wait
20 minutes and we'll have the weather we want. He wasn't wrong. He's right on
the money. 20 minutes pass and we are sk8in one of the gnarliest roads I've
come across in the wet! Epic!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

hole in the back end of the park. We trekked through some serious terrain and
boom, we turned up at paradise. The hole was green/blue and had all sorts of
rock jumps. Great way to cool down! From there we went and pressed penny's and
got snow cones and hit the road north for Bruneau Dunes State Park, home of

up with camping. Really getting looked after with this camp spot. Right at the
base of the dunes so not too far to travel. After a setup of our taj-ma-tent,
we hit the dunes for some late afternoon lines! Can’t say enough for
Idaho. It’s really thrown down the goods. Can't wait for our session on the
goods tomorrow morning!!!!! </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Sort of a restless sleep. We had some visitors in the form of Coyotes
and Racoons that went through all our trash and a loaf of bread. Not so bad as
the trash was just empty tinny's. It’s an epic morning with the sun just
lurking and having a sleep in himself, hiding behind a few clouds on the
horizon. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">And so we head up to the Big Dune. It’s a massive dune standing at
500ft. The sand is somewhat coarse so walking around the lake at the bottom is
a little rough on the feet. As we begin to climb the dune, the sand is a whole
lot finer and packed real loose. I’ve never been on dunes this big. The views
amazing. From half way, we're twice as high as the dune we hiked the afternoon
before. This is one climb. Feels like an endless ladder. As we get to the top,
words cannot explain the view. It’s truly an experience that takes your breath
away. We session the backside of the Big Dune and hit the area in the middle
called the Vortex. A few hours later, still stoked but tired of hiking up this
mondo dune we decide to bail. Before we leave the front side, the boys get down
and jam some airs off this little tuff of grass. Yeah lads. Kyle throws some
big air and grabs and Steve hits some backside stuff. Yew.</span><br />

of Newt and Harolds, Lori. She's introduced us to a couple of her local lads
that are gonna be showing us down the Boise River today. That’s right, we're going
tubing! It’s a great day for it. Blue bird skies and bloody hot! Lori
throws down and pays for all the lads to get their own tube. Massive props and
many thank you's go out to this incredibly accommodating women! After 3 hours
of absolute bliss and total relaxation, we end up at the end of the run. What a
great way to spend a few hours. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Hit the shop. Newt and Harolds in the afternoon for a signing and a BBQ.
It’s an epic little scene. The crew that have turned out are so stoked. I’ve
said it before, I’ll say it again. I love seeing the stoke on all these kids
faces. This is what I live for! It really makes u feel good ya know. Crew
are hitting us up for free gear, tips, stories, pretty much anything the little
sponges can get out of us all! It’s a tasty BBQ thrown down and after a feast
we look at hitting the hills. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Late afternoon session thrown down at the top of some pimp residential
estate. Its right up in the hills and there’s plenty of nature. Deer and
Coyotes greeted us at the bottom of the hill. The session was epic. Crew again
were sponging on us for gear and tips, the boys be thrown down this afternoon.
For a simple little session, there’s is uber amounts of stoke spewin on the
pavement. I take some time to give a little one on one with a few of the newbs!
After a few hours of shredding, myself and DaveR throw some of the younger crew
that had been determined all afternoon, a set of wheels each. Stoked! What
a session!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

and shower and use the net! What a way to finish and absolutely amazing day.

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Had and absolutely amazing sleep last night, even if I was sharing a bed
with Guff. Lori totally hooked us up. Great person to let us into her home and
let us stay for as long as we want. We make our way into town to get some eats
and to buy Lori a bottle of wine to show our appreciation. Before we left town
for the last time, we stopped in again at Newt and Harolds and dropped Lori off
her bottle of wine. She was stoked! </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">We got a heap of driving to do today and we also have a lot of skating
to do as well. The drive takes us through Hells Gorge and the road seems to
wind along the Payette River for hours. Such a beautiful river, full and
rushing. For as long as we were driving beside it, It was full of white water
and there where around 3 or 4 big rafting camps set up at various spots along
it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"> We get to the top of the mountains at 5200ft and there’s a nice little town
called MacCall home of Harshmen skatepark. It’s pretty much got it all. A few
bowls, one of which was brand new, a crail, and a few flat banks and box's for
the street dudes. Jamming here for a few hours got rowdy with all the lads throwing
down. Kyles a little bummed, his shoulders not feeling the best. It’s hot and
we got a long way to go, so we head to the lake to freshen up before hitting
the road again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Again we cruise along the Payette River, deep in the Payette National
Park. Nice to get off the typical HWY of 4 lanes and straights. We are on our
way to a new hill that Pats marked on the itinerary and boom, we come across a
road that has mondo hairpins and drops who knows how many miles down into the
valley. We get on the GPS and quickly figure out how to get to this unchartered
gem. It was epic. As much fun as u can have on 4 wheels with ya buddies. I mean
it’s an unknown/unchartered road, winding down the valley by a series of

close to setting and all we can see is corner after corner of banked goodness.
Jacob needs to piss bad and I aint stopping till we get to the top to make the
most of this sunset goodness. We are blown away by the shape of this gem. G
we've found some epic stuff on this trip! This is just the icing on the cake
for the day. We all get our shit on and hit the road. Guff drives the Bear van
and we all get super rowdy passing and pushing each other down the road. Turns
out it’s a 10 minute run and we didn't even start at the top. This has been the
best way to finish a rad day. Dudes be stoked! High 5's get thrown. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">What
a crazy way to start off, or should i say finish off a very long 30 hours of
traveling to the US. I arrived in LA and the BEAR Van with Pat, Guff and DaveR
was there to grab me. We head straight for the Landyachtz factory in Compton.
The first thing on my mind is the killer heat. The US is having a major heat wave
and the temps are around 105-118F( 40C?????). Coming from winter on the other
side, I can see this is going to take some getting used too. Say g'day to all the
punters there and then catch some of the crew down at Long Beach for a
few beers and dinner. Don't get back to SkateHouse till half 11 and I'm rolled
out on the floor asleep at Midnight. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Typical
with getting an early start in LA, we rose at 5 and hit the road soon after.
Loaded up the car with a new face, Stephen Vaughn and also a good buddy from home
Jacob has been hooked up once again by the team at LY to document the trip! I
see why there's the necessity to be up so early. With 3 times the total
population of Australia, California seems to never stop. Still at that hour
there's mondo traffic jams and probably a good thing for us, they aren't a
worry.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

at the the foothills at a rad town called Rancho Kookamunga to get the supplies
needed. Towels, tents, straps, soap, thongs, all the norm! We gotta get out to
get Kyle (from the seconds shop) as he arrives in Vegas and we're still 200

far today we've driven in California, with Nevada soon to come, Arizona, then
ending in Utah! The desert is bare and its even hotter out here. U look around
and there's no life what so ever. Small shrubs, rocks and sand. Nothing except a
tonne of traffic and a road that looks to be melting.U know we have crossed into
Nevada because of the Casino's. They're everywhere here. Its the only state in
the US that allows a whole lotta gambling and other legalised paraphinalia. Way
out here? I guess that's why the Mob back in the day did it, cause it was so
remote!</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dam was constructed back in 1932 to dam the Colorado river, and be that the
birth of Lake Mead. We do the tourist thing and lurk wall side for an
hour. I think we're all blown away by the sheer size of the dam. For 71 years
old, its still in great condition. Time to scrub the JEDUS. Head down to the
lake and drive the van right up to the the water. Boys are stoked but its just not
cutting it. Its hot and the wind is even hotter. Its like being in a fan forced
oven on high. The waters hot. The winds hot. I took the opportunity to have a shave,
first one I've ever had in a lake! My eyeballs feel like they are burning.
Looking at DaveR and his cherry glossed face, i know he's feeling the heat too!</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

we bail toward Salt Lake City. Drive North for 2.5 hours through the twilight,
watching a storm off in the west, lightning bolts and all. Following the GPS,
we turn up at a detention centre? agh, i don't think so. We opt to drive a
little more into the unknown and stay out at Quail Creek State Park. Its still
HOT. its midnyt again and its gotta be still in the ball park of high 30's. To
late to set up the tent, we all russle and find somewhere roomily comfy to
sleep. Guff and Jacob are on the ground, Im on the roof and the other three are
in the van! Its gonna be a hard night of sleeping.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

in style. Guff gets it done. So many times on the Palm Trees and Pits tour, i
left the sleep destinations up to Guff and he always delivered. He delivered
once again. We woke lakeside in the beautiful surroundings of Quail Creek State
Park. Epic. Thing is, its still killer hot and the suns only just come up. We
head to the water and have a swim and a scrub, lurk there in the cool water for
a little. Good thing we have a somewhat chill day today cause I'm not feeling like
movin to quick at all. Breaky and coffee is the call!</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the road and drive through a series of valleys with mountains rollin on both
sides! Its still hot and the lack of sleep last night meant that the lads in the
back slept most the way. All good, got the main man Guff in the front mixing
beats! Make a stop at the Zion National Park and Kolob Canyon. Its epic. Looking around its completely different from the desert. Massive sandstone gorges and an
abundance of greenery! The views epic. Guff and Jacob get the goods out and the
boys are keen to shred and get a few pics with the background. After a quick
chat with the local ranger, we told her we weren't up to trouble and she left
us. Skate we did and its all documented with the lads getting it all. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Roll
into Salt Lake mid afternoon and catch up with local lad, Connor Wagner and his
homies. We chilled and dribbled some shit for 10 and the plan was made to hit
the campus. The Uni Campus is new, pretty nice looking with a heap of new
construction going on. Its situated on the side of one of the town hills so all
the pathways are obviously downhill. Things got a little crazy here this afternoon.
The locals were out to prove themselves and there were still a few seviians
wondering through the grounds. On one of the runs that we took down the urban
roads beside the campus, Guff and me got a little lost. Was all good wen we
found our way back! The local 5-0 came and threw some heat at a small group of
us as we sat in the carpark waiting for the lads. Same old shit really. To much
time on they're hands and after being accused of stuff we didn't know anything
about, i decide to tell him as a first timer to Salt Lake City, I didn't
appreciate his attitude and accusations. Next was an apology! Yeah bra. 1 back
for the sk8 community! </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the later parts of the day at the local sk8 park out on the west end of town.
Its not a bad little park with some nice sections of bowl, a few rails and flat
banks. Its great to see Stephen getting down and thrown smiths and feeble's on
the rails. All the boys are getting a few in. I tell ya I'm glad that its
finally started to cool down! </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Over the weekend, we held our first ever longboard jam and safety session at the Khatsahlano Music and Art festival. We were fortunate enough to have been given an extremely generous section of west 4</span><sup style="text-align: start;">th</sup><span style="text-align: start;"> to showcase Landyachtz and the culture behind the brand. Throughout the day we invited people off the street to come and test out our demo longboards. We also had a large number of local riders come out and take advantage of the safe environment to practice their tricks and get some tips from the pros. We would like to thank the Kitsalano BIA and Brands Live for putting on such an amazing event. We also would like to thank Longboard Labs for their major support, and a congratulations to them on their grand opening!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">The second of two Landyachtz Skate Sessions happened
yesterday in North Vancouver. The main goal behind the sessions was to help
kids learn to ride safely, and for them to encourage their friends to skate
safe as well. A few of the Landyachtz crew provided tips on how to stop, as
well as the key basics for skating smart. There were about 50 kids that showed
up, and we were stoked to skate with everyone! It was great to see that many
kids that care about their skate community. Thanks to everyone that came out,
you guys rock!</span></span></div>

at the base of Mt Kiera in one of the parks of the side of the road.
Its closed and we can't really session it without hiking and the boys
are a little more stoked to get down to the beach and have a swim. The
coast has been a solid part of our trip. Everytime we head inland, we
want the coast. Got down to a place called North Beach and Guff and I
got down and had a swim. Its cold, offshore and the swell is up. Nice
little bash and were off to the hills.</span></span></span></div>

been down this way a few times before and we usually drive past a
Chinese Temple that apparently has a sweet little road there. We hook up
with local lad Dijan and hit the temples paths. Its sweet to walk in
and see the statues and zen style gardens. We hit this tranq little spot
for an hour and then head south to Mac Pass.</span></span></span></div>

I've been here twice before but never been able to sk8 because of the
weather. Today as we head into the valley theres a few raindrops but as
we get to the hill, its dry. Im finally gonna get a chance to ride.
Theres so many features to this beauty. So hard to even begin. Its like a
7 minute run that flows. Guff and Jaco get out and get the goods right
from the get go. Its time to bounce after we get stopped by the 5-0.
They are pretty chill but tell us to bounce so bounce we did. </span></span></span></div>

stop 7 pins. This one I've been waiting for. Just a meka run with
everything u can ask for. Fast and tight, rad flowing turns and as u can
imagine from the name, hairpins! We hook up with the local Hopkin crew
here. Luca, MattB, Maga, Robdawg and Kam have been here for the last few
hours while we've been at Mac Pass. Its not to be. Right at the bottom
of run 1, the heat was on again. the 5-0 pulled us over and went through
all our deets to no avail. That's twice now. Luck must be on our side.
No point pushing it, we decide to head back to the coast through K
valley. </span></span></span><br />

in the most amazing part of the country this morning. Riverside just in
from the coast at Jervis Bay. There was morning mist on the water and
the birds where loud as they woke with their calls. Clean up the RV and
hustle pretty well. We head to the local boat ramp and feed a family of
Kookaburra's. Ive been telling Guff about these creatures since he
arrived but still till now, all he'd heard where the laughs errr
morning. Kyle bust out some sausage and i get some chicken and start
coating them in for some food. Epic birds man, so much character. </span></span></span></div>

and a swim and we on the road to Canberra and the Capitol city of
Australia. Its gone be a 4 hour drive through farmland and epic bush.
The most direct way there wasn't necessarily the fastest but was for
sure the most fun. An hour on the dirt and a stop at a crazy refine for
some tranq nature shots and how can anyone complain about the extra time
in the RV.</span></span></span></div>

Boardshop is a quality store full of all boards for all sports. They
had a pretty sweet range of sk8 boards too. The crew that turned up was
waiting out the front for our arrival. Its always rad rocking up to
these stores and seeing how much stoke it brings to these youngness
faces! Same as all the other shops, we spend the next hour signing
boards, hats, posters and handing out shirts. Left here and Its great to
chat to the shop owner, Gavin, and see how stoked he was!</span></span></span><br />

to Ainsley ditch. Ive wanted to hit this one for years. Finally i get
my chance. Guff is zoo pumped as well. He's the king of the ditch and
hasn't hit one since Ditch Slap! Epic. Little sections gradually getting
bigger as u drop down. Each section that dropped down had a set of
teeth at the bottom of the cascade. Gnar. The very bottom had a sweet
tree that had dumped all its leaves so as u run from one side to the
other, u ride in through the leaves! The session winds down and its an
incredible sunset all with Cockatoos squawking in the trees ready to
nest for the nyt. Us too, its been a big day! </span></span></span></div>

Canberra isn't the most ideal place for a group of guys that have been
living by the coast for the last however long, to wake up in.. Its
really just a big hub of business minded people and politicians. The bad
vibes continue with a junkie takin' the restroom at macsa's for ever
while he was shooting up. Its been a lure getting out of this city but
that's wen things take a turn for the better.</span></span></span></div>

a rad sk8 park on the way outta town and we just had to hit it. It had

south down the road to Cooma. We stopped here for a quick bite to eat

drive into Jindabyne is mello and the terrain is slowly changing. Big
boulders scatter farmland. I came here like 10 years ago for a snow
season and remember a fun little ramp down by the lake. 10 years on and
that little ramp is now a sweet little sk8 park. Big bowl and a fun box
and some sweet banks to jam. Again, after rollin the bowl, i fuck around
and get into short board tricks with Dillon and Guff.</span></span></span></div>

backside of the mountain lends to many bends to count and so many KM's
of downhill. Im not passing this opportunity up. Who knows whats to come.
All we can see is on g.maps and it looks rad. Tha pavements not the
best but hey, we be turning wheels blind side! Dillon, Jaco and Myself
al hit it up. Its wet in sections and bone dry in others. Its real nice
with the sun setting on the western face. Guff got a few shots but the
killer one he's been waiting for all trip came not to long after.
Towards the bottom, we came across a group of Kangaroo's and they be
fighting! Throwing punches and all. Guffs in the mix, playing nature
guy! Yeah bra. Not a minute later up the road, we find wild Emu's. There
must have been 10! Ive never seen Emu's in the wild before so this
experience was new for us all!</span></span></span></div>

turned out to be one of the best days on the tour. We skied. We got
some killer shots. We drove a lot and covered a heap of ground. Ventured
into some uncharted wilderness and travelled through two states and one
territory. Off to Wodonga and camp up beside Lake Hume for the night.
Early start tommo and anther big day!</span></span></span><br />

been getting super lucky with our camp spots. This morning was one of
the best yet! Lake Hume is a flooded river system created back in the
50's. Theres a graveyard of old trees scattering the lake in the view
to the east as the sun rose. This country is really turning on the goods
for these lads! Dillon was up as soon as id mentioned the view. He's
been getting down on black and white film. I can't wait to see some of
his shots! Guff and Jaco are in the same boat but with the digital
approach!</span></span></span></div>

into the Victorian alpine region and up to Falls Creek. Its an epic
drive. The colouyrs in the valley are amazing. Its fall and most the
trees are differnt shades of reds, oranges and yellows. As we head
higher up into the mountains the landscape changes into deep forests
with small patches of ferns. A lot of this area was on fire a few years
ago so its great to see all the new growth. On top and all the trees are
dead. It looks like ribs of some giant as the road winds through them. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span></span>

roads been epic the whole way up. Spewin that there are some wet
patches on hidden blind corners. Its a safer bet to session a section
that was exposed to the sun right at the top of Falls Creek snow
village. Dillon and myself get down and get some good shots with Guffs
pro assed camera. Thanks man for trusting me which that one. Again, Jaco
is sitting roadside getting killer shots. After he's done on the lens,
he's up on the board and stoking hard as well! Yeah man. Ripping. Its
such a beautiful part of the country, the Victorian Alps. Im gonna have
to spend some time here in the warmer summer months, just have to be on
the watch for them bad assed bush fires.</span></span></span></div>

here its a 3 hour track south to the city of Melbourne. Its a great
city and theres always heaps to do, whatever ya need really. Its got a
killer casino, so many little cafe's and rad pubs, two massive stadiums
and tonyt is game nyt for my team the Essendon Bombers. We get into the
city early in the evening and find yet another hot camp spot. Well i
wouldn't say it was a camp spot more of a car spot in an alley, deep in
the heart of the CBD. Catch up with me little sis, Emily and roll out
the annex on the RV and have a few drinks before setting off to the game
and the pub! Shaping up to be a wild nyt!</span></span></span></div>

life in melbourne rock. Peeps are so down to party. Tried to get into
the game but couldn't get tickets so we hit the streets and the pubs.
Guff even got to get behind the reins of a horse drawn carriage. Funny
spot to wake up in this hip little alley. Perfect really. There is a
cafe right on our doorstep and at 7 am the crew that work there are
setting up the restaurant. I can smell the bacon! time for breaky!</span></span></span></div>

the boys a little while to get into gear but we got rolling mid morning
down towards the morning ton peninsular. We had a date with <a href="http://instagram.com/p/ZQ9OD0Q97m/" target="_blank">Arthurs Seat</a>. Id heard very little of this one but from the looks of things, it
had plenty of features to keep a group of shred happy sk8ers busy for a
while. It must been something to do with the red goon bag we consumed
before hitting the town that mad us all need the toilet at the same time
on the trip south. Heavy. Where are we gonna find 6 toilets on the side
of the highway? Gas station stop and subway helped with their
amenities. </span></span></span></div>

done, time to get to the hill. Driving up this one, it didn't really
seem like the gradient was that steep but wen we hit a series of
switchbacks, right, left, right, left and so on till the top, we where
eager to get er done. Top of the hill and Guff and Jaco setup a spot to
shoot and Dillon, Lilspoon (JoshE) and myself got into the tight turns.
Theres a heap of bikes on the hill and u can imagine at lunchtime on a
Saturday, plenty of traffic. 1 run and I'm absolutely frothing. Wat a
way to start the day! Thank u! We bounce and head to the beach for a
swim and on the way the local 5-0 where driveing up the hill and gave us
a stern look! HAHAH missed us this time bra!</span></span></span></div>

spending the next half hour down the beach, cleaning, washing,
freshening up, we head back into town to visit our last shop, Mac's
Waterski World. Upon arrival, kids have lined the street and the alley
next door. WOW. Wat a great turnout. Groms are frothing and to park up
and get out was nothing short of rockstar status! Kyle and Dillon both
got mobbed, while i threw shirts into the crowd. Inside and there's a
heap of sk8's and I'm stoked to say that its the first shop we been too
that had the new 2013 Dinghy in stock. The next hour was spent signing
all sorts of sk8 gear. I even got asked to sign one of the lads nipples!
A raffle went down and shop owner Troy put up a WolfShark for a prize.
We thought we could add to this by thrown in some wheels. Then outta
nowhere, a kid hit me up to see me haircut. He saw it and said, "i want
one". Didn't need anything else. I got Troy to get me some clippers and
the rest is history. Grommet got himself a fresh 2013 DropHammer and was
stoked to be the new owner of a mullet.</span></span></span></div>

up to Hungry Jacks with the grommets from the shop. They just wanted to
session with the crew so we joined em. Funny little sk8 but these kids
are so pumped to be sk8in to their local HJ's with the Landyachtz boys,
how can ya not be stoked! Stoke fuelling Stoke! After we hit up a drain
in melbourne thats been getting sessioned for the last 30 years. Ive
heard a heap of this one too, but again, never had the chance to sk8 it!
Pretty pumped on getting in a few lines on the banked walls of the
drain. Theres a solid turn out of locals and a few short boarders that
had built a little DIY box. </span></span></span></div>

its to be the final day of the tour for me. I have to be in Tasmania
for a buddy of mine. Again waking in the middle of the burbs has become
quite the norm so this morning wen the masses of bicycle riders and
walkers are passing the RV in the early hours i didn't even think twice
to empty my bags and fort all my shit out right there on the side of the
road. After getting me shit sorted and cleaning up wat i could of the
RV, Guff was up and we both went for a walk to get some coffee.</span></span></span></div>

through the streets of ST Kilda's cafe scene, its not hard to find a
good spot for a fresh grind. Coffee that is! Coffee in hand and we
walked the block to see whats up. We come across a community garden with
some real quirky things in it and a massive pumpkin! Massive i say!</span></span></span></div>

at the end of the street the RV was parked was one of the area's newer
sk8 parks. OK, time for a sk8. Ive got half hour. Rallied the troops and
hit the park. Guff and myself have a nice early session turning wheels
on beachfront park. Its epic. Such a great finish and the transitions
are smooth and flowing. They have a few bowls of different sizes, some
flat bank stuff, some steel coping and some pool coping. Its epic. So
much fun and to finish the tour here, well it just seals the envelope on
an absolute epic adventure! </span></span></span></div>

there it is, the Landyachtz Aussie tour: Palm Trees and Pits has come
to an end. Wat a journey its been. Is true what they say, Its not the
destination, Its the journey. Couldn’t be more true. The crew, the
places, the memories. EPIC. Its a first of its kind here in Australia
and i think its fair to say, the bar has been set pretty damn high.
Thanks to all the shops for havin' us, thanks to the crew out there who
came to see us and a massive thanks to Landyachtz for throwin down and
makin it happen. Much love. Till next time eh..... Yates.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Our most recent video contest was created to encourage
skate communities around the world to showcase their scene and the shop that
supports them. We wanted to see the faces of longboarding, and to highlight
some of the scenes that are really passionate about skating. Longboarding
is growing and the shops that are embracing it are seeing a new loyal customer
base develop. Our goal with this contest was to shed some light on the
scenes that are emerging around the world and to show, how good shops are the
cornerstone of a vibrant skateboard community.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Submissions were
evaluated based on how well the video represented the scene and shop in a
creative and entertaining way. The winning entry would receive a $500
Landyachtz gift pack and a limited run of custom-graphic boards for their shop.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">It was great to see such a positive response to this
contest! We received over 50 entries, and enjoyed seeing all the great skate
scenes around the world. We had it narrowed down to two potential winners both
of whom followed the contest details and made great, entertaining videos.
The videos styles where on the opposite ends of the spectrum so we decided the
hell with it and awarded them both for their efforts. Congratulations to
Florida and Boston, you have the best scenes!</span></span></span></div>
