Foundation Blog Minneapolis day 3

Image Description Here The view outside my hotel room was not looking very friendly. And I don't mean that because there was kids shouting "Top Shop" and lighting fireworks at odd hours of the night until police arrived. I meant it because it was snowing out, bro. Image Description Here I know theres kids in Antarctica or Alaska or some other cold place like the North Pole right now saying "those stupid Californians think that is snow, thats like a nice day here in _____(insert Antarctica, Alaska, or North Pole). But thats fine, I'm spoiled in San Diego I know. I don't even go outside my house if its cloudy out. Image Description Here You can barely even see those cars theres so much snow piled on them. Image Description Here That's our whip right there. Notice how I only shot the photo of like half the car well thats because I was just driving it and the snow came off the windows in the front. But I was trying to make this photo look epic and make you feel bad for us. Image Description Here We sat at the booth again and this time we came equipped with a tv and dvd player. It looked like we were playing the new Lurk Fest video from far away. Image Description Here But we were playing this work out video instead. It was left in the dvd player that the shop gave us so we just rolled with it. Now all these kids are going to have buns of steel. Sorry that was weird. Image Description Here I made everyone limbo for product today. Good idea huh. Image Description Here nice photo...or not. Image Description Here dont know what to say dont know what to say dont know what to say. Image Description Here This is awkward looking. And I apologize. Image Description Here dont know what to say dont know what to say dont know what to say. Image Description Here This dude is seriously being serious about this. bro. Image Description Here When I was walking around I checked out the Osiris booth and noticed they have a couple Foundation shoes on Display. What do you think? Image Description Here David tried to take some peoples money in dice. Image Description Here Then we all went to the boss mans Hotel to meet up for some dinner. Image Description Here They got good blogging materials at there hotel in downtown Minneapolis. We took advantage. Image Description Here Below are the photos I got when I said "quick guys look cool". Image Description Here I give you weird photo number 1. Image Description Here Followed by way weirdest photo number 2. What a clever bunch of fellas. Image Description Here After dinner with the boss man we decided to all head back to the park for the launch ramp contest they were hosting. Image Description Here As you can see I put a ton of effort into both of these last photos. Shot from my digi cam on top of a ramp a million miles away from all the action. Oh well. One more day in Minneapolis...

Foundation Blog Vegas day 6

Image Description Here We had a little shindig with Pharmacy planned at 5pm. Ragdoll made it out. Image Description Here You would think the green shirt that Gareth is wearing would symbolize all the money he has won so far in Vegas. Well lets just say thats not the case here. Whatever the color of being down a couple hundred is he should be wearing. Image Description Here We all loaded into our vehicles and drove to the skate spot that we would be judging a contest at. Some chose cars others chose motorcycles. Image Description Here We were rolling deep. Image Description Here The spot was like this slab of concrete with homemade obstacles. Image Description Here We held a best trick contest on the handrail. Image Description Here Image Description Here Bart watch out theres a lifted truck about to run your ass over. Image Description Here Matt Ball showed up. Image Description Here David and Alex helped judge the contest. Image Description Here This kid is the winner. I forget your name but I don't forget the switch heelflip bluntslide you did down the rail. After the contest we decided to hit the streets again to skate. Little did we know we would run into a little problem. Image Description Here But with our quick instincts a bad situation turned good real quick. Heres the story. So we went to look at a rail. Security drove up so without even questioning it we just got in our cars and tried to leave. We weren't even skating the rail. Just looking. Anyways the security guard took all our plates down and tried to somewhat block us in. We broke free and just left peacefully. Little did we know we were being followed by him. Little did he know he picked a van full of dance party music listening kids to mess with. Image Description Here So we did the smart thing and kept driving. Then stopping. Then driving. Then stopping. Seeing how far we could push him. We would just drive in circles around a median in the road, he followed. It was 3am in a residential area so no one was out but us. Then we did the smart thing and flipped the script on him. We blocked the security guard in on the main street so he couldn't leave. And then got out and talked to him. He immediately said he would go about his way. See with some quick thinking like us you can get yourself out of any situation. Goodnight.
