Minneapolis, MN

Today we drove into Minneapolis to check out Fobia Skateshop and 3rd Lair Skatepark. It turns out Fobia closed down a couple of years ago, so we ate some food at Perkins diner and then went to 3rd Lair. The park is all wooden, part indoor, and part outdoor. It was pretty fun, we skated two bowls and the street course for about 6 hours and as always got some video of it all. Then we headed back to Robinsdale where we are staying with Tyler's uncles. We were planning on leaving tomorrow morning, but I guess we're going to go fishing, so we'll leave tomorrow night on the long journey back to California.

Robinsdale, MN

We arrived in Robinsdale this afternoon and were hanging around with Tyler's uncles when the real fun began. After hearing that we had brought fireworks both Tyler's uncles were eager to show us how to have a Roman Candle battle. Apparently it has the potential to be dangerous, but who's thinking about that when a colored fire ball is rocketing at your face...oh we also lit off some nice rockets too.

Ramsey, MN

It was dark way before we got to our planned skate park stop in La Crosse, WI, so we skipped it and continued on our journey to Minnesota. We did stop at a fireworks store in Wisconsin, and picked up some explosives, which we carried with us into Minnesota for later detonation. For our first day or so in Minnesota we stayed with the Landwehr's in Ramsey (Tyler's friend's family in his old hometown), and for the next day or so we'll venture down to Robinsdale to Tyler's uncles.

Glenview, Il

We stopped at a park on our way out of Chicago. It was pretty fun, we filmed a couple of things, and then ventured onward to Wisconsin.

Videos Are Up!

We have finally posted some videos of some of our travels, so check them out.

Wheaton, IL

Today we got out and checked out a in the neighboring town of Wheaton. It had a perfect 5 foot mini ramp that we skated. Today's our last day here in Chicago before we head for Minnesota. We'd like to thank Jerry, Linda, Isabella, and Niko for being so kind as to let us stay with them, showing us around, and feeding us and of course Amanda for hanging out and setting the whole deal up... thanks a lot.

Chicago, IL

So we made it to Chicago. We have a place to stay finally, so we rested up for a day. Yesterday we checked out downtown and went to the Air and Water show. After that we went on Navy Pier and checked all that out. We are probably gonna head out to couple local parks in a bit.
