Memoirs of a Gypsy: "What does the beat do?" It goes on!

eS released the new white colorways of kicks on May 16th which happened to be Forty Oz Friday, so I decided to call Drew the night before to make a roadtrip out of it. I mentioned Corning thinking it was in the East Bay. I tell Drew the deal, "Let's go to San Mateo and pick up them newnew Accelites then head to Corning, much to my dismay, Corning was in the complete opposite direction so I would have to call Atlas and tell them to hold the shoes for me until the following day cuz I was definitely not making it out there that Friday. It was hot as fuck this day so once we got to the park it was shirts off and time to make some shorts outta of our pants. The heat was unbearable, so mush so, that we asked all the locals if there were any large bodies of water anywhere and they all said no! Nearest places were in Chico or Sac and we weren't about to sit in a car for longer just to not find any rivers or lakes so we shredded Corning, got some clips and then headed to Uk-town to hit up a Skumset sesh on the wedge at Ukiah park. The Next day the eS shoe mish was in full effect. Got up at 7 called Moe and Drew at 8, was on the road by 9:45am en route to Atlas Skateshop in San Mateo. Got there, no problem and copped the only size 9 Accelites and couldn't have been any more excited. Felt like a little kid when I saw that fricken beautiful red box!!! I barely had enough cuz I paid a bunch of bills off the day before, actually I was even short on some change and wasn't about to pull out of my savings, so dude was nice enough to let me slide, thanks my dude (and part of the reason why was that he was stoked on us driving up from Rosa) come shred Rosa parks man! Once the shoes were acquired, Drew called Casey "Hawaii" Meyer and told him we were Santa Cruz bound for his video premiere for Assault Skateboards. As soon as we got to Santa Cruz, it was BABEWATCH all along the beaches, I'm lucky I didn't get into any fenderbenders while rubbernecking, foreal! The honeys were out looking fly as fuck in their sporty leggings, skimpy bikinis and sundresses...THANK JAH FOR SUNDRESS SEASON! Aight, back to the story, where was I? OH BOOBS!!! Once we got into town we headed straight for UC Santa Cruz to go study at the library. Just kidding, we drove past the University to shred the legendary snake run known as "DERBS!" This place is super fun but we only shredded for a few cuz the spot was blown out with the locals brah, so we headed to the downtown park to shred before meeting up at Skate Works for Hawaii's Premiere. Clocked some clips at the downtown park and was en route to the premier at 6:50pm. We get to Skate Works and it was going off, with shitty little ramps and pole jams everywhere. Zarosh was getting hesh on a mini quarter pipe, an Austin Funk Doppleganger was bs smithing a tall table that should belong in someone's foyer but it was out in the streets getting ripped apart by AFUNK 2.0! Hotdogs were grilling, free beer was spilling, and Drew and I were sneaking off to give thanks and praise. The Assualt video was awesome, HESH AS FUCK! Haven't seen or heard anything of Chris Livingston since I saw him skate a halfpipe on the water at DisneyLand CA Adventures w/ Bob Burnquist; that was 10 years ago! Chris had an ill part with lots of backyard pool shreddage and cutoff dickies. Casey's part was short and sweet with nothing but bangers...pretty much every trick could have been an ender. Right after Casey's part was none other than the Donger himself, motherfucking Kien Lieu! Part was off the chain! Once the video was done we said our "farewells and see ya laters," hugged Casey and hi-5'ed that ass for a killer 20 second part full of enders and with that we we're ROSETOWNBOUND once again. I even managed to snag a copy of the Assualt Video so we'll have to premiere it at Theatre #17 soon. Enjoy the photos and Video below. I didn't save the video in a small res, cuz I wanted it to be viewed in full HD, 1080P, watch it on your computer or TV via PS3 or whatevs. But if yall complain about not being able to view it on your phones, I'm gonna reconsider our friendship(JK). I have no time for negativity. I do this for you guys; so be nice and be grateful. It's all about the POS! And if I sound like a dickhead, well then, SUCK IT and have a shredical day! #NFJH #NFTE #COOPERFOREVER #BERNARDOFOREVER
