My Trip Westward. Kickflippin da statez

So I got a job at ski camp, aka Windells, helping out with some marketing and team relations stuff on the skate and snowboard end of things. I drove across country to get errthang going, and will be back at the end of August. Miss NH already, and the Nashua dirts are on a killing spree. I will keep the blog updated every here and there as to what's going on in Oregon also.TJJ
Started out in NH. Moved to Mass, this photo was taken outside Holyoke on the drive...
Then to Buffalo for some Wings and some Labatt Bleu
Not quite evil. 666 was nowhere to be found
Saw this truck on the highway entering Cleveland
Ohio in the AM. Exactly what you'd expect. The night before I slept on an island on Lake Erie, pretty dang cool man. Tons of bugs though.
Entering Indiana. They Call it the Crossroads of America. Fireworks and Cigarettes are the big things around these parts
There was absolutely NOTHING for 30 miles on either side of this. But this is a church and cemetary combo. thought it was kinda rad so I snapped some photos
Headed to Ramon's home town. CHICAGO. Rad city, super clean, cool shit everywhere, and the lake was beautiful
Chicago reppin EB. I had to. Dont be mad...
EB and Lake Michigan
Leaving Illinois and heading into Iowa, home of the URS.
Stopped at the worlds largest truckstop, check out the selection of Boots they got going on
Told you. I ain't frontin'. I slept outside Des Moines. Got up, and headed the hell outta there
Crossin into Nebraska. You know I got down on some Sonic. This is America, why would I get out of my car?
B I L is famous!
4,000,000,000 miles later (Nebraska is the biggest state ever) I got into Colorado.
The second I rolled into Boulder, I was told we would be camping. If I ever have to listen to shitty dubstep and drink Rolling Rock ever again I'm going to die.
But waking up to this is pretty fucking awesome
A day later, I was back on the road. This is typical of western Colorado. Trucks, and beautiful scenery
Wyoming is no joke. The Wild Wild West out here. For sure.
Beautiful state of Utah
Welcome to Salt Lake City
Headed to the South Jordan Skatepark (so ill) with Ted Lavoie, Ryan Stefany, Chris Grenier, Big Bert, Kyle Fischer, Ramblin' Rob Million, and Tim Benasich to pump some tranny
Next morning after the park we headed to the driving range. Casual Grendys breakin' clubs, and breakin' hearts
Nashua Loc Stefany and I are poor golfers. For sure.
Jock-O Terry however, is no chump. Homeboy was drivin' at least 200 yards. No joke.
Carl Fischler of the Dirty Kids. He also sucks at golf. All my action photos of Bert are out of focus, so I didn't get to post any goodies up
Leaving SLC heading into Idaho.
Idaho is so gorgeous. with the exception of the Government Reserved Areas where they bury nuclear energy into the ground. Solving a problem?
Boise, Idaho. Straight up. Raddest city ever. Go if you can. Seriously.
Leaving Idaho heading into Oregon. Sleeping in a parking lot
Eastern Oregon is so gorgeous
This one's for Butt and EJ.
Headed to Lincoln City, Oregon. Jealous? You know there's EB and Bloodmobile stickers in that cradle
New downhill section. I took one run and got nervous as hell. Dudes were putting it down here.
Headed to the Oregon coast. Amazing. Come to the Northwest soon. Blow your savings. It's worth it. Oh yeah. States I've kickflipped in....NH, MA, NY, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Oregon.....Hegarty, I told you I would...
Talk soon. TJJ
