Humbling!

man, we are humbled.

We have been to a bunch of spots and seen locals out there KILLING it! You know who you were. You guys are keeping the flame alive.

There is no possibility that the skills out there in the skateboarding community could be showcased in any competition! There are so many styles, so many trick combinations that have never been seen... There are so many tech-gnar, bowl-troll, off the wall amazing things out there...

Yesterday we saw this guy named Garr, who's like 47 years young, RRRIIIPPPPPPIINNGGGG at New Smyrna. This old man, he played for keeps! He showed up all the younger creeps.

Thanks to Jason, who directed us to the Mexican place for a good meal. We got full and got back safe.

To the longboarder at Kona, whose trick bag on a 40 inch board exceeded the legal limit: Props.

To Marshall, who is an ice man...

To all the kids who are scrabbling to get some skills to get out there with the big boys...

Man, Fickleboards' whole crew had a blast at every spot, just taking it all in. Especially you ABP rippers, you guys were a mile deep with style and mad tricks. We wish we had a week to just skate with you and learn from you. You all looked like Kevin Kowalski, pre-haircut, pretty much, which is totally cool to us, too.

We will definitely be back to skate in the off-season... thanks to all who shared time with us.
