February Trip to Austin

Somehow Dakota Roberson and David Langston convinced the powers that be at Southside Skatepark that I needed some days off to go on a weekend road trip to Austin to film it up. Accompanying us was Sean Villars and George Karvounis. This was the first time that I had gone on the road with the latter two, but it worked out and they held their own on the road for sure. When we went up to Austin we stayed at Jacalyn's place, since she resides in a house waiting for it to sell for her parents all by herself. It's great being able to hit the road and go to a different skateboarding scene and be taken care of, it never happens more often than in Austin, Texas. The weather was amazing and we stopped by to meet up with Guru Khalsa at his new place which was really nice. He seemed to be enjoying the new house and trying to get out and skate with the locals such as Flint Brewer and JD Clark. We skated street all day while being shown around by Shaun Mefford as he was shooting photos. On Sunday we made a point to stop by Alien Pod as we heard that it might be in it's final days. It seems as though recent rail construction in the area as put the secluded and hidden spot up for demolition by the Transportation Board of Austin. To bad it doesn't seem as though the City of Austin is going to turn a blind eye to the do it yourself "Dream Destroyers" creation. We filmed our last lines there and kissed it goodbye, just in case the next time we are in Austin the spot is gone. Thanks for the good times Alien Pod, hope to see you again soon, take care and rest in peace.
