A little catch-up - Back to NC

After numerous trips to Baltimore with Amanda, we finally decided to fly to North Carolina to see my family. With Tropical Storm Ernesto lingering around, we were worried that our flight would be cancelled. Luckily for us, we were able to get on the last flight outta LGA. We arrived in Raleigh and hung out with Jed for the evening.
My mom picked us up the following morning and drove us back to Wilmington. It was crappy weather for the first day, but bright and sunny the rest of the weekend. With temperatures in the 90ºs, we were happy to be able to soak up some sun. Although it wasn't a great weekend for Michael, we still hung out with Jordan a fair share. He picked us up from downtown a few nights and zipped us home in his 2001 type-R Acura. That car is a beast. Never been in such a nice ride and it's fast [I won't go into details].
Jed, Robby and Ryan made it down and we all went to Bluepost and hung out. It reminded me of what Wilmington was like before I moved to Brooklyn. We ate dinner with the fam the last night we were there. It was a great time. Here are some pics, a little after the jump!

A little catch-up - Sunday Skate BMX

So while we were in Buffalo, I got the chance to go to Sunday Skate BMX - which is Dana's boyfriend JP's shop. JP and JIM run this place and I have to say I was really impressed with all the work these guys put into it.
The storefront was an old bakery and was in a really dodgy part of Buffalo [yes, there are dodgy parts of Buffalo]. JP and his boys ripped it all out and refinished everything. The result is a really esquisite piece of Buffalo's skate community [the only one in fact!].
These guys rule...

A little catch-up - Buffalo and Toronto

So, it's been a crazy last few weeks. Amanda and I have been traveling a lot and hitting up some pretty great cities. Our schedules have been so busy that I really havent had a chance to unload my camera and upload some shots we've been taking along the way. These next few posts are going to be part of the "A little catch-up" series documenting these trips. First up was Buffalo and Toronto. Amanda has friends there who run a local skateshop and we decided to visit them and spend the day in Toronto shopping. Over the course of a few days, I got to meet some cool cats, cop some nice clothes and have a great time away from the City. Here are some pics.

Trevor and the Steak knife

So after Trevor wrecked Pete's bike, he had a HUGE knot on his elbow filled with puss. How did he solve the issue at hand?...

SBTG Lacelocks

Bling for ya strings... Got mine in today. The gold looks hot in the new SBTG SB's I got last month. I can't get over how nice the materials are on these shoes. The gold swoosh is now accented by the gold lacelock. I dropped my Hawaii SB's red laces in as well. The attention to detail found is SBTG's work is finally carried over to a mass-produced, yet limited shoe.
