Lost and Found: Quebec City

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Some more lost and found photos from about a month back.

thosedays

We couldn’t help ourselves from recreating the Transworld cover on our way through this tunnel.

In a recent trip to Quebec, I posted a picture that Darrell had taken of these sketchy signs……Anyways here is a less corroded one with the blood all over it.

We had 2 crews in Canada. Half the crew split after about a week.

The longer a trip is, the more worthless we get.  About 9 days into the trip and this is Jake.

This would be Nick and Jake 10 or so days into the trip.  Nick at his lowest point all season.  After pissing all over his mattress, pillow, and floor, he decided to put Tiger Balm on his balls.

Not sure who took this picture but it was on my camera.  Thats all.

Lost and Found: JAPAN

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

So here are some old photos that I had thought were lost. Click back and read the Japan Airblaster posts to get caught up on the whole trip up to this point.

I think the last post from the Japan trip left off with getting on this ferry boat for 17 hours… Nick and Kazu killing time in the boat’s arcade.

Of course Kazu is good at video games…

Stowaway Stevens creepin’ in the lobby of the boat.  A bunch of Transworlders were also Getting Real on this trip.

Finally getting off that fucking boat.

Anyways this is where we ended up…Some little mini houses on Hokkaido.

scarygary

I don’t have many photos from our actual stay on Hokkaido, because this scary ass bear lookin’ fool came and ate my memory card.  We hit some crazy roadside spots and got some goods.  Spent a few days exploring and stacking then headed back to the dreaded ferry boat.  This time we decided to take the shorter boat ride(still 12 hours) and drive the rest of the way back to Tokyo. 

japaneseletters

Found this gem of a spot on the drive back but got busted up by the police.  Next year we will rebate this one.

jedshithead

It was an 8 hour drive back from the port to Tokyo.  Jed is young and hasn’t learned to sit still yet. Nick had to give him some fresh air.

Finally we got to Tokyo and hit the town.

Mellow Hike.

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

This was about a week or so ago.  The weather was warm and we felt like a hike.  Louif, Johnny, Laura, and myself headed up to Grizzly Gulch to session a mellow QP.

We waited in the parking lot for quite some time until Laura finally showed up.

Johnny going sleevless.

Hadar was talking about all these new board technologies and decided to come up with some CTT(Camel Toe Technology)

Wish I had some photos of the QP we hit, but I don’t, so just imagine something insanely huge and the most spins and flips you can think of.

Spring Break!

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

springbreaktruck

Jake rolled through SLC on a Signal tour. He stopped by the house to show off his whip.  He didn’t stay for long, just long enough to get some food and skate a bit.

Later that day I ran into this playful bunch.

Just a taste of the shit you will see in Salt Lake City.
