Road Trip - Go Skateboarding weekend - Part 1

We all decided to head out to Ohio for some good seshtime in the new northwest. The plan was to head out and hit some parks. Calabro, Cappetto and I jumped in the Fit and headed East. The plan was to meet up with two car loads of other dudes at Fort Wayne and play it by ear after that. So, we met up with Surgen Tom, Topless Mark, Scotty Karate, Jose, Gordon, Tom P. and Anna and Olivia.

We skated Fort Wayne for like 6 hours and had a blast!! I had never gone to another park with so many people from Wilson before. It was a really cool feeling to be out with so many dudes you see everyday in Chicago.

It was super hot and sunny but we all held strong for the whole day. They were quite pleased with the park as most of the dudes had never been. I really like the smaller snake-run. It is tons of fun, tight and fast. The larger snake run bowl area is cool but I am not a fan of the coping. It is small, and fast. The transitions seem to be too mellow and you really have to search to find the coping. The 50/50 enthusiast will love this park. You can lock in and sit on top all day long here... I am more of an in the ramp, carve grind type of guy so small, slick metal coping is not my thing.

We went to get some food afterword and then took the long way to Akron from Fort Wayne. It was a good trip though, the scenic route. There was a lot of road shinanigans happening too!!. Calabro could not help himself and began mooning everyone right from the beginning. Later he pressed his hinder areas up against glass, exposing more than needed to Karate. I believe he has pics. Not that we want to see them...

After a long drive we ended the trip with some inter-auto digital entertainment. Laptop against the glass always works well at night. Luckily we made it to Akron all safe and not dead. We stayed with Vans guy Jay Croft's Dad's house. He was nice enough to put all 9 of us up for the night. Calabro talked a good game about how he was gonna stay outside and blah blah blah, but he was the first one indoors asleep.

Scotty got a bit tipsy and the rest of us sacked out. It was kinda funny because we lost Cappetto at some point. He was last seen with a couple Budweisers and a pack of cigarettes. He was mumbling something about catching varmants for breakfast. We found him the next morning up a hill in a tree covered forest area passed out. He did have a sleeping bag though so it was all good!
