Now he's back. Check the alley-oop slow plant on the

Skate demos are great places to jump over them.

the road and headed to Boise, ID, for a demo at the new public skatepark
By now things were starting to get burnt and our skating was starting to
show it. I hope those guys were stoked on us. I mean, what do they
expect after five weeks in a van?
From Boise we headed straight to Forrest Grove, OR, where a late night
curb session prevented us from boredom.
After the early wake up call, we headed to the shop where they had
their street blocked off for us. We met the shop owner and he told us that
"Floyd the barber down the street is pretty upset about this demo." The
demo went off pretty well and the whole town seemed stoked on us
We hit the road to Bellevue, WA, knowing that we only had two days
left before we were home. We arrived after a short, six-hour drive
After another early wake up call, we met the shop owners at their cor-
porate office and headed to the park. We cruised around there for a couple
hours, then split to Redding, CA, to our last demo of the trip.
Due to arriving late, we checked into the first ghetto motel we could
find and crashed out.
The last demo went like the past two weeks' for us except for one
thing--it was finally our last demo. No more dirty floors, golden corrals,
fat lips or early wake up calls. I think I'm going to miss the road.
