Fakie bigspin to pulled pork

We had some beautiful weather on Saturday. I woke up my wife with the request that she film me performing a demo for the people at the Clarks Park Farmer's Mart. I grabbed my board, we grabbed Josh and hit the hills for some cafe. I was in the coffee shop for a long time. Under normal circumstances this would drive me crazy, on the brink of telling all these thirty something liberals, with a hell of a lot of rules to take their lazy attitude about the sugar/cream station and shove it up their collective ass. Collective.


I finally got some iced brews and out of the door I flew. My wife kept asking me if I wanted to get some footage, "You like that parking lot up the street, right?"
"Yeah... it's okay."

At that moment, Josh grabbed our dog and jumped on my board, waving a long branch in front of the dog's face like a dangling carrot. I couldn't top this trick and Josh isn't even a skateboarder. Well... maybe that day he was. I was originally there to do a skate demo for the farmer's market crowd. Only problem was, it wasn't Saturday, it was Sunday. We had been tripping the entire time. I haven't done a demo since the old Sam's Place demo of 02' . Next week maybe.

This morning I took a cruise to the FU WAH for some chips and such. I ollied up the curb, I rode off, I rode up another curb sans ollie. Then I did the uh, fakie big spin. I'm pretty sure people were doing the fakie bigspin before they were doing the big spin. Aside from the freestylers, Ron Chatman and Matt Hensley come to mind. I just wanted to drop those names. An intellectual and a heavy hitter. A comedic teacher and an idol. Weird shit. I never saw so many skaters with the same outfit at once. Matt Hensley influenced an army of lemmings, myself included. Cut off army shorts, buzzed head, high tops cut to low tops. You know, it was sick style.

Actually, I think his shorts were hemmed. I have some sick footage of this barbecue I attended this evening. I ate a superb pulled pork and slaw sandwich, and some excellent grilled asparagus. Sorry, no photos.
