Monday the 23rd me and chop went to wedge. We skated the new granite ledge for a while. Chop fs nosegrind the whole thing a few times. I learned early bs 180s out of 5050 and erik was doing half cab back smiths that looked so awesome. We went to the Circuit city gap even though it was drizzling and chop got really close to nollie fs half cab.

Thanksgiving! Thursday the 26th me and jim went to wedge when it dried. We had a fun session with kitrell and warren. I got pretty close to 5-0 fs bigspin out. Jimmy got a real nice smith kickflip within about 8 tries and a front tail front bigspin aka the jeff colombo trick. He got a close to a lot of other stuff too. The new ledge is amazing. thanks again to brian panebianco and TZ for making it.

Friday the 27th it was pretty crappy out and I wasnt gonna skate but kevin pham called me, im glad he did. I met up with kevin, kevin nguyen, joey obrien, greg jones and devon russell at the curcuit city gap. Joey kickflipped it with ease before I got there and got a sick ollie north down it. Dev got a fs 180 down it.

After that we checked out china bump. Dev got a nice impossible/3 shuv off the side. Kevin pham got a real nice fs shuv over it, front foot catch and all. Joey got so close to the most stylish varial heel but he felt bad about taking to long so he gave up.

After that we went to wedge and jimmy met up with us. We skated wedge for a little then we checked out this gap in souderton that we call the pretzel gap. Its from the parking lot of the providence book store to the parking lot of the pretzel factory. The gap looked so hard. First you have to get over a guard rail, then you have to clear about 4 feet of grass and plants and a cement wall. Then there is the drop thats probably 6 or 7 feet high. Joey Obrien bailed it a few times then the first time he cleared the guard rail he got it so perfect. Devon got so close probably 6 times but had to give up cause he was slamming so hard.

Joey Ollie pretzel gap. Amazing!

After that we went to Calvary church to check out the rail they have. Joey bs boardslid it with ease. Then he got a sick front board on the outside rail that reminded me of jamie thomas.

Saturday the 28th we skated wedge. We had a good session on the granite ledge. Erik Mangal was killin it. He fs smith's the whole ledge with ease. He got a long fs fakie 5-0 pop out on the granite ledge. Pat McCullion got a nice bs nosegrind shuv and almost got a 3 shuv out. my brother jimmy got so close to front blunt kickflip out.

Sunday the 29th it was really nice out. We started out at wedge where everybody was skating. We decided to check out the Norristown highschool since we really havent skated anywhere else in a while. I got close to half cab manny revert on the pad and Chop landed on a back tail to fakie on the pad but didnt ride away clean. Besides not having success in Norristown Overall it was a really good week of skating.

Monday the 16th I skated wedge with Erik Mangal and Jeff Colombo. Jeff got a really sick trick on the small planter ledge and Erik showed me his new manny trick that were gonna film soon. Fs 180 fakie manny revert.

Friday the 20th I went to wedge by myself before I had work. I am a loser and I set the camera up on some cinder blocks to film a trick. I got a lucky and landed a switch fs 180 5-0 revert on the bank.

Saturday the 21st we skated wedge. Penny and TZ built the most amazing granite ledge. Everybody was killin it today. Tore was doing some awesome stuff like switch heel bs crooks. Jimmy and Joey almost got some sick lines.

Sunday we started out at the mini hubba in harleysville. It was me, my brother jimmy, Chop, kevin Nguyen and kevin pham. Chop got a nice front tail to fakie and I got a fs 5-0 to manny off the curb. Jimmy already front blunted the ledge a while back so he just started messing around with some stuff. He did a fs 5050 and then body varial off the curb which turned into a 5 trick line haha.

After that we went to the bump to grass gap in harleysville. Jimmy and kevin were messing around with some stuff. Chop got a nice bs 180 and almost got a nice bs shuv until I got too close filming and his board accidentally hit the camera so hard. My new fisheye is pretty much done. Theres a bunch of big scratches on it. That kind of stopped the session on the gap. I was pretty bumbed.

We were gonna call it a day but decided to just keep skating since it was so nice out. Im glad we did. We went to the Landis in harleysville and skated the brick manny pads. Chop got a bs and fs pop-shuvit manual. Kevin got a fs shuv manny and a fs shuv manny back revert that was so stylish and I got a varialflip manny. Thanks to jimmy for taking the time to film most of the stuff today! After that jimmy beat me in skate for a pretzel. thanks jim!

Later on we skated care and share til it got dark. Besides my lens breaking it was a good week of skating.
