Heavy Flow Zine

I have been wanting to do a zine for a really long time and finally got the motivation being home alone while my hunny bunny was in the NW. The original idea was to have an all girl zine (hence the name) but I also skate with a ton of dudes so the first issue is a mix of both ;)

I knew I wanted Rachel Turner to be on the cover after skating with her again at the Davey's Sunnyside Bowl because I feel like she is one of the best female skaters I know and is super sweet and humble. She never gets any coverage and totally deserves it! Just wanted to show mad respect for this sweetheart of a person. Hit me up if you want one!

CaliFUNyah - Part Dos - Vista! aka Watch out for that Pole Jam!

After spending a couple days in Oceanside, we made our way towards Hemet...we had to stop at Valley Center Skate Spot in Vista because we had been dreaming of this dreamy spot! It is a DIY that is welcomed by the city, I think... it is super fun and flowy, wish we had it here in good ol rado. You can buy 10 avocados for a dollar there too!

Perfect Pockets of California

The Ocean

Shredville, USA

It's been a bit since I have updated the ol' blahhhhhg....lack of motivation to post but definitely not a lack of fun going on. Here's some summer highlights from Leadville, CO - 10,200 ft up in the ol' mountain air. The funnest park in Colorado has this amazing flow bowl that nothing compares too. Built by Native Skateparks - great fucking job!!

On the way to Leadville, there is a beautiful reminder of how man destroys our planet Earth

Wrex gets a transfer over the island

There was so much haze from a nearby wildfire you could barely see the beautiful mountains

I think this guy's name was Travis? I can't remember...a nomad with a kickflip maybe? Can't remember what trick he did... nice guy!

Bluebird Day in Fairplay

Finally got to go back up to Fairplay for the first day of Spring! This long overdue venture to see friends was perfectly described when Jesse said, "it's a bluebird day in Fairplay!" Good vibes flow free up in the mountains!

Jesse's spot is super sweet, can't wait to go back! I love that you can see the town from the bowl and his awesome tile work is scattered around.

Here's a few photos demonstrating the fun we had on the first day of spring!

No question who owns this bowl!

I was really happy to see Christina!! She was almost hitting tile!

the lower jawbone!

Max has the best smile ever! 

The Secret Garden

After a few hours of skating, we went up the hill to say hi to the General! This SBA compound is insane and has a beautiful view...Dana's got it going on.

 

SkateColorado history lives on with coping from the ramp Bruce built where parties follow wherever it goes!! 

That's all for now, thanks for the hospitality Jesse, Chrissy n Dana! See you guys next time!
