David Skidmore's trip to the Northwest

David is from Louisville, KY and we met and headed to Crossroads first.

Got Golf shorts, will travel! (Click photo for larger image).

David loved Crossroads, and said that there wasn't a clam shell like this in his home town (Click photo for larger image).

Next stop was Duvall, and David was stoked to be able to get over the stairs, he also liked the coping (Click photo for larger image).

David had to do a rock on the rock (Click photo for larger image).

After getting snow/rain/sleeted out of Duvall, we ended up in Arlington, partly because it was dry, and partly because it's a fun park. It must have just rained, as the pipe was leaking, David sacrificed his tee shirt to help dry the park (Click photo for larger image)

David's home park has a pipe, but not like the capsule here (Click photo for larger image)

We ended up skating until it was almost dark. For David it was getting late (Click photo for larger image).

The next day David called and had a couple hours to kill so we met at Kent #3 (Click photo for larger image).

David was intimidated by this pool at Kent at first however, he started to take to it once he rode it a couple times (Click photo for larger image)

Four great parks even though we had to avoid the rain and snow. I was stoked to skate with David. For more about David and his buddies out in Louisville, check out the The Concretin Blog

Todd's trip to Seattle area parks

Todd is from Philly, and came out to check out Seattle with his wife and parents. He brought his skateboard, and I offered to skate with him.
We met at Ballard.
