Summer Begins

Early Saturday morning Shane, Max, David, and I met up in Cocoa village. We were all still trying to fully wake up as we got there and packed our stuff into Max's car. Then it was off to Orlando!
The crew for the day getting ready to head out.
Camera check, Boards check, Wax check. We out!
When we made it to Orlando we parked a little outside of downtown and this was the first warm up spot we passed by while going to our destination. David also realized here that he left the wax in the car so he went back and got it while the rest of us stayed here and warmed up.
I filmed here and this was my view most of the time at this spot. Thank god for this amazing tri-pod!
Max and Shane were ready to film pretty quick. Shane even got his trick within a few tries.

It smells like straight up pee at the alleyway ledge so Max had to cover his face while instagramin'.
Max battled this sketchy rail in Downtown but still got his trick. This photo shows how awesome this whole spot looks while Max does a 50-50.
David found a good angle in the middle of the street while Shane and I watched for cars.
The sketchyness of this spot is the best part to me. Here's my self doing a wallride.

Out in the Streets 5/7/12

After skating all day Saturday I was pretty tired the next day so I decided to play filmer and film a few friends locally.
First spot of the day was BJ's. An appropriate warm up spot, where everyone got a clip at.
A gallon of water is essential when skating in Florida, these new chips are amazing too!
We stopped by this spot for a little bit and Sam got a line.
This was the one spot everyone had been looking forward to all day but we didnt end up getting there til pretty late. Ish almost had a bad experiene with the rail, so he called it a day and we all just chilled.
The sky was looking pretty awesome though

Orlando Part 1

David, Max, and I set out around noon Saturday to head to Orlando. It was already insanely hot and we didn't know it would actually be like that all day. We had a little trouble getting to the first spot, but once we got there we knew we would be staying for a few hours.
This tree was the best thing ever. David is looking at some footage under it to escape the heat for a little bit.
Max back tailed this ledge properly and got a few lines, everybody did actually.
Some other skaters showed up and then some homies we knew, so there were quite a few people.
A cop came but was cool with us skating and let us proceed. David, Max, and I had to get out of there though since we had run out of water and were starving.
So we obviously went to Chipoltes! After staying at the spot a little longer the homies met back up here where we watched some skate videos to get hyped again.

Orlando Part 2

After chipolte we kept the day goin and checked out this barricade spot. Definitely not easy to skate.
Some of the crew had to leave at the barricade spot, but Kevin met up and joined us. Ben showed us this bump to ledge, and David knew what trick he wanted to do right as we pulled up.
David back smithed right through the huge chunks.
We ended the day with a fun session at this spot. You can pull out the rail and skate it any which way you want. I decided to put it off the curb and sesh that.

Long time no skate, Orlando.

It was a blazing hot day when David and I set out to Orlando. We got a bit of a late start, but the sun was still pretty high up. It turned out pretty successful though!
Myself warming up at this little bank with a back tailslide.
David laid down a buttery trick on this.
Here's a random spot we found, there's only about 10 or less feet of set up. What do you think went down?
This is what i call a true East Coast spot. The ground is a complete cheese grater. David handled it like a champ coming away with no injuries and a clip. Zing!

Brevardlife.

These ledges are starting to become the new warm up spot now. David, and I met up with Max here but ended up staying for what seemed like a few hours.
Shane met up with us here at BJ's since it's right down the street from him. BJ's is always fun, Max and I both battled our tricks and came away with some clips.
People have passed by these forever but never skated it, including all of us. Shane heard these ledges/manual pad might be skateable so we stoppped by and checked it out. Turns out its a pretty tight spot. Its a ledge to manny pad to ledge. Here's Max doin a crook.
After skating we went on an adventure into the deep ditches of Palm Bay.
Shane thought this was a good way to end the day.
