This was my last trip to the Solar bowl before heading to Europe. Thanks to Don for such a good time. We even had air conditioning for the day.. Don rented a generator to power his new ac system.(it would work by solar power!) In attendance were the crew from Jacksonville ,Justin mc Carthy and Timmy, also Tom Groholski,Don ,Andy and myself .
What an Epic day.
**apologies about the photo quality..I had major issues with reflection from the roof insulation!
I'm back in the US after a 5 week stay in Europe. We will be here for a month ,possibly 6 weeks ,packing our stuff for the move back to Spain and preparing our house in Florida for rental.
If anyones available for a skate session,let me know.
The 16streets crew hit OSP yesterday to see who the mystery pro skater would be on that leg of the Vans tour .It turned out to be Tony Alva. Steve Van Doren the founder of Vans shoes was flipping burgers and hot dogs in the parking lot. He was very friendly and took some time to chat with us. We had a great day skating the bowl and sipping Grumpy Juice from our blue cups. Ripper of the day award goes to my buddys son Isaac Crawford.Big airs everywhere.
Here's a Movie by Jason Crawford:

2 young Russian kids were celebrating their 13th birthday.When Steve Van Doren found out,he went in the Vans bus and produced two very nice watches for them.They had no idea who he was even!
