Back Home
On Monday,Greg surprised most of us back here in Omaha. His Aunt was in town from DC and had not seen Greg for a bit so she offered to fly him home for the week. The week went by fast. Greg had a long list of folks waiting to have him tattoo them. Check the photo page for a few of them. We got to do the last bowl jam at Vinny's. Vinny is sending the bowl to Des Moines and putting in a new street course.
Jordan and Pat are flying back to San Diego with Greg in the AM. They are going to spend the week with him.

Vinny's Skatepark Contest
Well the dust has settled. One more in the many rocking contests held by Vinny. Vinny went all the way to KC for one judge, Vermont for another and a local skater to round off the 3. These 3 judges had no idea what they were in for. Tough to say the least.
One world record holding skater from Wisconsin. Rippers from Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas,Missouri and from all over Nebraska. One minute runs followed by top 5 jam sesh. The judges needed to see more, so one more individual run. The top 5 went like this: Zach 5th, Pat 4th, Jon 3rd, Alec 2nd, Jordan took 1st.
For the other results check our Vinny's link.

Greg did a park opening in Fillmore Ca yesterday The crowd was BIG check out socalskateparks.com for some footy and pix.
The local paper has a shot of Greg and a nice write up on the opening. A few weeks back Greg was in the San Diego paper too, he was skating his local park (Poway) and the Tribune was doing a piece on some thumbprint system to gain entrance to the park. They got a shot of Greg doing an invert.
Soon Pat and Jordan are hopping on a plane to spend a week with Greg in Cali. I am sure we will have some stories to share with you when that goes down.

Dec update
We have had a busy month. Edge had their annual contest. It was a big turn out. I thought the highlight was Dylan taking 2nd place in the beginners class. This brave young man is undergoing chemo therapy and still manages to compete in a contest. He skated great earning him a strong second place and a bundle of prizes. Good job Dylan.
The Vinny's Team had 3 skaters in the top 4. Pat 4th Jordan 3rd and Greg took 1st.
Thanks to Marv and his gang for putting it on.
Last Sunday we took a road trip to Des Monies to check out Saylor indoor park. Nice place Liz the owner was very cool and made sure everyone was taken care of.
Greg did a huge gap that even got the bikers to stop. Liz said it was a park first. Check out the photo, I am sure it will make the next video so watch for that.
Greg heads back to Cali in a couple weeks. It has been great having him home but he is ready to go back to the sunshine and SoCal skate scene.

Wednesday Greg was skating at Vinny's. He was doing a gap to rail. He ate it and caught his hand at the bottom of the ramp. The impact was taken at the elbow causing it to pop out and chip some bone. Greg grabbed it and put it back in place right after it happened.OUCH!!!!To add insult to injury a couple nights before he got his first speeding ticket, the officer told him if he completed a STOP class it would not be on his record. The class was at 6PM that night. The accident happened at 5:20. Ice and a ghetto sling got him through his 4 hour class. We then headed to the emergency room.The x-ray showed a break in the elbow and they put it in a splint.Today we went to the orthopedic surgeon, The Dr said the break was some chips and the tendons were still attached so this was great news. No surgery! No cast! This is answer to prayer.He will be back after it soon.
Note:
Check out the new video posted it will show it.
Buddy from Tracker had a funny one, he said " well I am sure this won't slow him down, but maybe the ticket will."
