Well, I am now several days into my journey to the south and I've finally made it to my laptop. Me and SBS alumni CJ Linde have spent the last 2 days traveling as well as skateboarding. We departed from Boardwalk Skateshop (www.boardwalkboston.com) on Wednesday and drove down to Annapolis, Maryland. We spent the night, woke the next morning to a beautiful town in a part of the country I've never visited. We went for breakfast at Chick & Ruth's Deli which is a very prominent breakfast spot to the locals. I enjoyed a bacon egg and cheese on wheat toast as well as a pancake.
We shredded the whole way to the breakfast joint, finding unique spots along the way! Look forward to seeing the skate to and from C&R's as well as the rest of the trip in the new brocam clip coming upon my return. Keep an eye on the blog, it'll appear within the next week.
After breakfast, we drove a brief 45 minutes to our nation's capital, Washington DC. We didn't know any locals or where to look for spots, but it worked out real well.
We started off with just parking and brocamming around the blocks of downtown looking for spots. After some successive brocamming and lack of ability to find legitimate spots, we decided to find the legendary Freedom Plaza (aka Pulaski Park). Thanks to Cj's sidekick, we were able to find an address to the spot and the GPS connected the dots.
We shredded Freedom Plaza, met some locals, and then went to fetch Cj's vehicle to find another place to park and skate. We came across a spot I've seen in Focus Magazine but thats all I've ever seen of it. The picture is below. We skated there, and with 45 minutes left in the meter, dropped the VX off in the car and broke out the brocam. The Washington DC section of the clip should be good.
After the brief brocam sesh and discovery of the best spot ever that also happened to be the biggest bust ever, we decided to go on a hunt for the white house. We got to the street but there was a huge line just to get down the street. We decided it was best to make the 7 hour journey to North Carolina. So here I am, 4:13 am now in North Carolina, about to snooze.
as in Jersey
Delish.
