Posted in Skate Journal on March 10th, 2011 by corpo

After what was easily the craziest experience getting to the airport ever we found our flight was delayed by 3 hours.  Ha.  We killed some time by eating then we skated a corner of the airport for awhile.  It was hilarious.  Everyone slammed hard.  The carpet made tricks hard and b/s 180s seemed to be the hardest.  We lasted about 45minutes before someone told us to stop.After the flight and some free chocolate chip cookies we were in SF!  We rolled to Gordon’s house and met up with the largest crew to date.  20 people I think?  It was sick.  Rob surprised everyone by being there.  After some mingling Joey, Nate, Eric and I did a little skating.  We started our at across the street where there was a nice little red two stair and some chains to ollie.  Nate did a bunch of tricks.  I did a couple, but was feeling the flight for sure.  Joey did some techness, but I forget what.  A cop showed up nearby so we went over to the 3 up 3 down and played some games of SKATE.  I won the first one which was really bad, then Eric won the second.  We did some tricks on the lowest stair and ollied up/off a few times.  Good little start to the trip.
