I have landed and am now in the great state of Alaska. First stop off of the plane was a half hour south of Anchorage to the town of Girdwood. This is where Alyeska Ski Resort is, pretty cool town. Here are a few quick pics of the mildly sketchy warped wood skate park. Also, I highly recommend the Elk burger at the Chair 5 restaurant.
Travel, yes travel. As I write this I am sitting in seat 29A on a flight to Alaska. Why, to skate of course. Actually I am taking a little vacation and flying up to AK to meet up with my brother and then drive back down to Oregon so he can hang out for the summer. Along this trip we plan on doing a little fishing, camping, and yes skateboarding.
We plan on hitting the Homer and Anchorage skate parks first and then who knows. That is the beauty of being now unemployed and on the road. I will do my best to keep you all updated on our journey and hopefully put up some pics of Alaska’s finest skate parks. Oxymoron? Not sure.
Stay tuned and be patient. And if anyone knows of any skate spots we should hit please let me know.

Yes it is that time of year again, Tour time. Check out this video of the Fallen team out on the road doing demos and getting rad. That little spine looks like so much fun.
Sid Melvin definitely bags a few fresh Flamingos in this Strangenotes video. See the fancy fresh flamingo’s droppin’ like they are…..
Some days just seem to be longer than the rest. Usually those days are the ones that I wish I was at the skate park with my friends. Check out this video here from Thrasher of Mike Peterson and Kyle Berard blazed through town, hitting the Potrero and Crocker parks with Brian Delatorre, Dave Abair, and Peter Ramondetta. Looks fun.
Wow, that was a great event. Congrats Bucky on finally clinching the win.
