Troy Sliter was part of the crew from the Northwest that went on the road trip this year. His faction split off to hit some Norcal spots. He made a video and slideshow that starts where everyone split up. It’s a mixed bag of tricks… You’ll see a backyard bowl, a major new skatepark with a Ffej sighting, ShawnF crapping his pants at an NHS production facility (kid in a candy store style), some 360’s capped off with spacewalking action and live freestyle that isn’t an interpretive trail reenactment. MC gave a good account of his experience, now you can get the rest of the story…

Nice vid! Looks like fun. That bit bowl at Lake C. looks like some big mellow tranny. Did you guys ride the Weed park? It looks fast and fun.

Dang, looks like we missed out on some fun. We’ll definitely have to head down there soon. Nice job on the video. I think some nice Jackson Brown or Joanie Mitchell would be a nice alternate soundtrack.

I forgot to comment, where were all the Norcal skaters? those parks all looked empty.

Since we only had a few days we had to skate at whack times. I guess Wed eves are when it is happening in SJ, we left Wed am. Also, I was skating most of the time so it was tough capturing the full deal. As for the sound track MC, nice suggestions but I’m trying not to be so old.

Nice video Troy.
I like that you added a little freestyle.
I don’t care what anyone says you stick to your roots.

“where were all the Norcal skaters? those parks all looked empty”
Remember, that was that hellishly hot Fri/Sat/Sun we had… 100 something degrees.
Matt’s bowl looks really fun.

yeah shawn! i like 360’s too. i know denny riorden
Should know better....
I’ve never seen an old man skater who looked & skated like me ’til this “alternate route” vid. Full beard & stache, goofy stance, even a nose-grab drop-in (sometimes) – I’m there. Maybe we could arrange to alternate who takes the first try at sketchy stuff: successes count for both of us, reduces slamming wear and tear overall. It could work… Tell me how, and I’ll send a clip: see for yourselves. 45 – So what? Anyway, looks like you guys had a great trip.
