Mount Union Sk8
I managed to get in a session at South Park, and a few at Polish Hill since I last posted. I also took my board with me (as it is always in my car ready) to my old college, University of Mount Union in Alliance, OH and saw the town in a new way– on my board! I skated around the campus and down Union Ave past Glamorgan Castle, turned left onto Glamorgan, left on Rockhill, and back down to the Campus Center. It was nice. Going downhill felt really good. It made me wish I’d had the board when I was going to school there! I’m afraid I don’t have any photos from any of this because I was by myself, but I did find a couple photos from way back on May 25. Also, you’ll be pleased to know I did buy a helmet finally. Don’t particularly want to get lectured by hospital staff again. Haha. And in exciting news, my 4 year old cousin Leah wants to learn how to skateboard and her Mom allows me to teach her! My bro Chevi and his daughter will be visiting for my birthday, and I want to get in a street sesh with the girls! Speaking of girls, I just posted a video of some sweet sk8r chicks from Mexico. I watched the Dew Tour this weekend and they commented on Mario Saenz as being one of the few pro sk8rs out of Mexico City, and I found the video of the lady sk8rs when I was doing some research on him on youtube. For anyone who missed the Dew Tour, Chaz Ortiz won the street skate. Ryan Decenzo finished second, and Ryan Sheckler came in third. Rookie Alec Majerus made a good showing, too. I missed vert, but Shaun White took that.
