RP's Skate Day.

Paige Koenhen with first drop for this guy. 

I joined my friend Ryan Paul today at his lil skate demo, skate day he held in Elliot Park, Minneapolis. 

It was so rad!!! There was a pretty good turn out of kids who wanted to learn how to skate on this beautiful day. 

I really can't think of a better way to spend time than giving it to other people. Today made me think a lot about what I do in the summer and all the things that could be done in a summer. Kids need people to look up to, who better than guys like Ryan Paul? I don't know a ton of people that will spend their time and money to teach kids they've never met how to skate. So, thank you RP for your example! Making an impact in the lives of many. 

RP and Aaron Becker! 

RP brought his grill out this afternoon. Making sure no one goes home hungry. 

Along with teaching some of the better skaters gave a little demo of just how much fun skating can be. 

This guy got a new hat today! keep those ears warm this winter buddy! 

Rolling around. Pretty legit introduction to a skate board. 

Hot Dogs! 

The crew! What an awesome turn out. 

Thanks to everyone who came out! I wish I was better with names and could put a few down... my bad. None the less, rad group of guys that can skate very well came and gave their day to stoke out the neighborhood kids. I appreciate it!

Stormy.

I love watching this happen in my back yard. 

Storms come charging in from the south west.

Very cool to watch! 

thank you for the rain. 

Full Moon!

Full Moon adventures. 

This is from my backyard here in MN. I have always had the privilege of having the best playgrounds. This is now where my little brothers play during the day, it's everything a boy could want. Cowboys and indians, cops and robbers, tree forts and dirt pits, this back yard has imagination running through it.


thanks for checkin,

Tonight at Famous Daves in Uptown. 

Austin can catch fish.

    I went to Ay's house today to hang out and work on projects for a bit.. this is what I walked up to. Ay was flaying some tasty looking smaller fish with this guy sitting on ice next to him... He went up north yesterday and scored. 

    Nice Northern! 

And this just in from Laguna Beach.
