We are on our way to San Diego. This trip we are taking our time enjoying some killer skate spots.
First stop Amarillo TX ,Grindline park. Day 2 we are meeting up with our friend Thad in Albuquerque NM. He is taking us to the ditches and the new cement park.
Day 3 Phoenix. Check back for up dates and photos.
UPDATEAlbuquerque was rained out for skating but we did get to see Thad. He showed us his town. Looks like they have a great skate scene. We hope to make it back this way sometime.
We made it to Phoenix late last night after driving through a nasty blizzard. We had to drive all the way to AZ to get in a snow storm, we could have stayed home for that.
Raining in Phoenix this AM should clear off later. Check back for some photos late tonight.
UPDATEThe rain continued so the only skating was a game of SKATE with some locals. We did find a grass roots skateboard shop. Underground (
UBF) in Apache Junction. Nice folks and some very cool artwork hanging around.
Today NO RAIN!!!! we will keep you posted on how that goes.
UPDATEToday started off a little rough. The first two parks we stopped at were closed due to water in the park. The 3rd park was in Tempe. It was open and it was great! Greg said it was a very creative set up and had good flow.
We then went to the Phoenix park. We ended the night with a session under the lights in Apache Junction.
On to Cali. Check the photos and keep checking back for updates.
UPDATEWe are in Palm Springs today. $12.00 for a cheese burger? Oh well, nice skate park.
UPDATEWe made it!On the way in from PS we stopped at the Vans park in Orange. After about 4 hours of skating we headed south down the 5 to San Diego. I must say the Escort did a great job getting us here, at a couple of stops 40 MPG.
Today we are getting dialed in on the new surroundings and then a late session at the Y Encinitas.
UPDATECoronado today, Etnies tomorrow. The weather is warm and sunny. The skateparks are hot.
UPDATE Met up with JT and his crew today. We had a great time catching up. Headed up the 5 to Lake Forest. Etnies was packed. Greg said it was like a game of Frogger skating around the groms.
Fun session in the skull bowl. No clue what is on for tomorrow.
UPDATEClairemont was the stop today.
The bowl is being reworked so we were not able to skate it. Greg got in a few runs on the vert ramp and then we headed back back to JT's for a BBQ. The temp is 72.
The road trip comes to an end. We had a great time. I am back in the sub zero weather and Greg is in SoCal skating.
