heavy crew that park took a beating that day ! Thankfully Gabe ’ s mom , Katy Belton , was along to help me manage things . The daily grind of making sure everyone was fed , had their smoking and drinking needs met and find a place to stay each night was a full time job for us both .
Next stop , Portland - Zion ’ s current home stomping grounds . At Glenhaven , Zion threw out some incredible stuff with that home park flow that just got everyone else hyped ; Jatoft , figuring out those head scratching lines he does , and Demarcus testing out that freshly healed foot with inverts and Miller Flips . After Glenhaven , the boys went on to tear up Burnside and then a late night session at Trusty Switchblade Bowl .
Lincoln City is another one of those epic spots that you can hardly absorb in a single day . So much big and fast terrain that it was hard to track who was doing what , where and when … Another all day adventure there , then off to Mc Minnville for a mini session , and a quick midnight commando raid of Eugene one last time before the late night crash all the way back down in Klamath Falls .
The Klammath Falls kids were awesome and came out in the 90 + degree sun all day long to shred with us . This is also the home park for three of our team members , Skyler , Joey , and Ryan , as well as Travis Augustine - and it shows . Those guys tore the place apart and got everyone fired up despite the hot weather . Then , sadly , it was homeward . One could certainly learn to live like that ; skate by day , camp by night … but back to reality we went . Until we do it again , thanks to everyone !!
