Klammath Falls Road Trip: Day 4 8/14/04
Day 4: Oh man. Hard to get up today. Today is the day most of us leave. After packing up we got to the park in the middle of another heat wave, hung over and dehydrated. We made some half assed attempts around the park. The spoke tall tails of Grant’s Pass and the necessity of voyaging there. We made a note of that and then sat around on our butts trying to wake up and get limber. With about an hour to go we got stoked by Corey and Jordan, and well, by our own Dan, (Danimal, Dantallica, Danterra, what have you) and had a spirited session in the Blinky bowl and the Mitosis bowl. The harder we skated the more fun we all had, guys and girls alike.
Yeah, fun was had by all, except for me when I slammed on my head in the Mitosis bowl. As I write this a week later, the back of my head is still swollen and I have a slight headache. Thankfully I didn’t take off my helmet before the run. Even more thankfully (depending on your point of view) the whole incident was caught by no less than two video cameras. This vid cap was shot by Danterra.
Watching this over a decade later and it still gives me the willies. I feel like I cheated death. -k.ed
In all the excitement and hard riding, we left an hour late just as another road trip from San Francisco was arriving. You see, some of us had to make it back to Portland in time to see our long time favorite punk rock jesters the DICKIES who were playing that night. Do you want to see the pictures? I know you do. Before you leave us, I just wanted to mention that I almost fell asleep driving on the way home, but didn’t come near as close top killing everyone as Miles did when he was driving, wide awake. And now ladies and gentlemen, the incredible shrinking DICKIES!!!!
Next day – The Dickies!
