Waking up in Albuquerque, New Mexico was amazing over the last couple of days, Elliott & I took a tram ride to the top, It was a awesome birds eye view. Thanks Daniel for the suggestion!
Another 7 hour drive ahead, Phoenix Arizona here we come. After a full day in New Mexico we were drained from all the amazing ditch spots. After our last feast at the Golden Pride restaurant, we all got juiced up to hit the road. 4 Hours of staring at the road along with the New Mexico sun took a toll on the body. Driving turned into mario kart with steep canyon curves for endless miles. A hour outside of Phoenix we could see silhouettes of the mountains surrounding us, It was time to pull over and setup our tents & enjoy the night. Being in the dessert of Arizona i’ve never seen so many stars in my life, with some beer to make the night brighter it was time to get some sleep. These photos are from the time-lapse I shot, I’m still hearing shit from Elliott about me lighting a cigarette mid frame of his time-lapse. Sleeping on the side of the road was the best way to start off Phoenix.
We got into Fort Worth, Texas in the evening and it worked out perfect since we had the generator ready to go. I couldn’t believe the city, there are spots on every block. I can’t wait to enjoy a good week someday cruising around the city, endless amount of flat bars all over. I’ve never scene anything like it. After a endless skated out day we were so beat but we decided to drive to our next city; Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Our friend Mukasa, originally from Boston now lives in Austin TX. It was amazing to drive 1500 miles and see somebody that I grew up with. We skated downtown for a night between the outer skirt spots to downtown side streets. It was a damn fun time seeing what the city was all about it, It’s been a while since I’ve been to Austin. While we skated through the streets we were waiting to see who was gonna get shit on by all the birds that were flying over head. After a long couple of days in Texas we had to drop Matt Fenell off at the airport to fly back to Maine. It was awesome to have tooth on the trip, epic comedy night and day. Fuck yea buddy, can’t wait to shred soon. Thanks Mukasa / Perry for the good times in Austin!
Cody McEntires is a home sweet home for a man out of Belton, Texas. From country living to getting stuck at Whattaburger & Starbucks for internet, we spent a decent amount of time in Belton. We had to deal with another day to pass the rain, but it was awesome to finally get to see Cody’s house. Over the years I always got shit from him, “wait till you play on my pool table!” It’s damn true, Cody runs it. Thanks Cody and Claudette and their dog Cloey Ann for having us!
