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!
