Clear-ish Day
Written on 10:43 PM by Brian McDonald
Well....it rained in the morning and dried up in the afternoon.
Got a text reading:
Ryan Cooper: Whats up?
Me: Ah, not shit ry-ry what's up man?
Ryan Cooper: Just watchin' this movie right now. Waitin' for it to dry up a little. What are you getting into today?
Me: The same. Haha
So after that I helped out around the house and showered. And after that I got a call from Cameron Dell, He wanted me to know that they were headed to the pavilion.
The Pavilion is just that, a nice covered flat ground spot to skate.
So I helped my girl make dinner and I was off!
After I arived I pushed around for a bit and nobody had any ideas, as far as spots that is. So Cameron asked, "Do you know of any artsy spots around here?".
And you know, I did. I been scoping out this one spot with an artsy sculpture that was next to Coolidge Park. I always thought photos here would be sick, framed inside the opening with the city across the river.
So we hop'd in THE BIRD:
What do you think?

Where to now????
Scott said the Aquarium, we tried yet again to get this photo....COP pulled up right as I was done setting up.
So Cameron tried to make it look like we were shooting portraits:
After that it was a BJ stop(no homo)...Bo-to-the-jangles that is...
Best quote from BJ's :
"you put jelly on your sausage biscuts?"
"yea"
"yuk, salty and sweet"
"Bet thats what rach-y gets after you skate all day"
"salty-sweet skate dick!"
The convo's that occur while grubbing are epic to say the least...
After that we went to the red rails:
Everyone messed with them...
Cameron was bummed on the spot:As the night died down, I remembered that Ryan wanted to get this Ollie photo! It was the perfect time to shoot it too...I mean look at the sky:
So we headed over to the ledge-to-ledge spot...
Ryan got the ollie, and was nice enough to let me shoot a sequence and still!
I'm super stoked on the ollie photo but.....I'm going to run it by some people before I post...Hell gotta try!!
Maybe the rain will hold off tomorrow!
