    A few weeks ago a bunch of us packed up our passports and bottle openers and decided to drive down from the big smoke to the big apple to do a little bit of that good stuff called skateboarding. Five short days later we were back, but we returned with a heap of stories and a little bit of footage. The following is none of that, but instead just a brief glimpse at some of the down time between awesomeness. Enjoy.

    <-- Lookin’ hard just comes easily to some. It seems these guys struggle with it more than most. From Brooklyn; Manhattan island, Bud Patterson, Joey Maher, Nik Sexton, Nacho and Ian St. Aubin.



    Stuff you’d expect to see in NYC that’s not the Empire state building, the Statue of Liberty or some guy getting jacked on the corner (we did get to see those things too). --->

    <--Nacho, Nick Wilton and his girlfriend Leiko all happened to be in town the same weekend that we were. Pretty sweet timing. They were there to see the Wu Tang play and Nacho also came to take naps at all of New York’s famous skate spots. He did a pretty good job of it too. Here he dreams of someday being on top of the world.

Bud and Joey take a minute between awesomeness. Nacho naps behind a pillar while Joey tries to remember if he turned the stove off before he left the country. -->

   <--- Forget sleep walking, Nik would sleep skate all night long. It was pretty rad at first but got kinda old around 6:30am when you’re trying to sleep and he keeps landing on you.

Ian St. Aubin: Alley-oop flip. ---->
