A Soldier on the road:VT-LA

To get straight to the point I'm moving back to California. There's a whole mess of crap I could get into about why and all that but I don't think its of particular interest to most people. However I do think that since leaving Vermont last Friday that I've had some pretty good times, interesting run in's and I've certainly seen some funny shit. The first part of this epic journey was a paltry 31 hour trek from Southern Vermont to Boulder, Colorado. A few years ago I drove from Truckee to Vermont straight through, 52 hours. So i figured that the straight shot from Vermont to Colorado would be easy....well after having not driven cross country in two years I have to say the endurance wasn't quite the same. However I made it and upon arriving in Boulder I went straight to the skate park and had a good ol time with some friendly locals until it was dark. After then sun went down it was time to shower up and hit the town with Beezy's clothing founder Stephanie Green. I've been to Boulder a few times and its always a good time. I often think of it as alot like Burlington,Vermont....but on steroids. The following morning it was time to fuel up at Einstien Bros and hit the road to Park City. My 3 day Park City stop was time to catch up with friends and check out Park City Skatepark. After going I have to say that its the best park I've ever been to and thats including Denver and Louisville. Its not so much how big it is(though it is HUGE) but the quality of the construction that makes it so fun. The session was cut short by some rain so it was time to hit up Flippin Burgers(amazing) and relax for the evening. The next day I made the hike to Boise to catch up with Mr. Evan Williams an old associate of mine from Vermont. Evan is one of those under the radar shredders who will soon be getting his due now that hes got his diploma and can spend all his time focusing on the shred. I got a chance to skate one of Boise's skateparks again met some great kids and a particularly talented kid named Blake. Kid absolutely kills it and has great style as you can see in the photos. It was supposed to be a mellow Wednesday night in Boise, just a few beers and watching a sox game. Instead I found myself with questionable vision at Opa's(great hookah bar) being slung free Jack and gingers by the man himself Max. If you are ever in Boise make sure you check this place out, the atmosphere is plush and the help is....well attractive young ladies seem to be very attentive. E-Dubs got a late night call about a batchelor party and things pretty much went downhill from there. All I can say is that when I woke up the next morning I had some cuts and soreness in the elbow that I wasn't quite sure how I attained. Once again with a foggy head I pulled myself together and hit the road headed for Tahoe. 7 hours later I found myself in the cool mountain air at the good ol Truckee skate park where I promptly ran into old friends and had a fun session til the sun hit the road. Now its just time to relax and gear up for tomorrow nights premiere of the Boned Age at Fritz UNR bar in Reno. It would be a HUGE mistake to miss it because Fritz has pretty much been the shit ever since I cruised into Reno with a bad fake ID back in the day. Hope to see ya down there Soldiers will be in full effect!
