Californ Eye Aye!

Robbie and I took a trip out to California for winter break! we hung out with amazing people, got lots of skating done all in 50-60 degree weather. needless to say it was awesome.

Ahh the feeling of skating outside again. Just pushing down the street.

anyone remember kircharts kickflip?? robbie was about to lay down 12 tricks forest edwards style but the fence was blocking it so he just made this awesome pose instead.

Watch Kirchart

Then he layed down a hammer on this guy. Even though skating tranny doesnt make you like a million bucks, its ok every once in a while. if you don't know, click 2:00

our first TK burger, good stuff.

Good flatground sesh with the best dudes outside of the Krochet Kids headquarters.

Joel forgot his toothpaste so he had to steal some from Barbie.

The Egg Man. He had a new way of setting up his board. put the grip on without cutting it, change the trucks with the extra grip flapping all over the place, switch out the wheels, then cut the grip the next morning. based on his performance i might have to try that next time.

Eggy waking up Brad with his soothing guitar and voice. Brad woke up and was pleased.

This was the winner for spot of the week. so good.

Egg man running through the jungle to battle for his clip.

The good ole parking garage hill bomb. too much fun.

A much needed reunion at Papa Z's, great start to any day.

As nice as it was in the day, the nights got cold. Robbie was prepared though.

I think they painted this so we wouldn't see it. Well it didn't work and lots of fun was had on it.

This was on the wall at a restaurant we ate at. my favorite is the dollar sign and the penguin man eating some chicken. great marketing.

California Red Curbs, good for grinding and chilling. what more do you need?

In-n-out was a must! Ended the trip with a satisfied full stomach.

Goodbye sun and palm trees! see you next time!

There was an american idol replica show, we got to see and vote for some other disney guests that auditioned to be on it earlier.
This was probably my favorite show, it showed how they do the auto stunts behind the scenes. in this picture all those cars where going at least 70. It was amazing to see the control and percision the drivers had.
Kabooom! ha this was a car going off of a ramp and fireworks going off at the same time.
Of course we had to meet mickey.

Stitch! I was so excited to see this because i got a shirt from goodwill a couple years ago that says stitch's great escape and didn't know what it was from until i saw this ride.
Splash Mountain, we barely went on this one because we knew we would get wet and it was pretty chilly, the ride was super fun, some got pretty wet, I somehow managed to stay pretty dry.
iiiiits a small world afffter all.
The castle! it looked so amazing all lit up.

Jamaica!

I got the opportunity to go to Jamaica for a week to help out with the first skateboard camp ever in the country. Chris, Zac and I where camp counselors and got to help them improve their skating and most importantly share the love of Jesus with them. it was the one of the most exhausting yet rewarding weeks of my life and i was honored to be a part of it. Huge thanks to everyone at Moorlands camp. here are some pictures, enjoy!

You Can't end camp without a water balloon, it got so epic.
Kids packing up to leave! a bittersweet moment.

Skinny and bumpy roads, this doesn't slow any of the Jamaican drivers down either.
We took our last day to go out in town and check out some skate spots.
Zac Representing in the Jamaican Streets! and eating a shoelace?

We had to bomb this hill for a challenge to see who could get the furthest, probably the scariest thing i did all week.

Bye Jamaicaaaaaa
