Rollin' On Monmouth with Galaxie Skate Shop --- Newport, KY Mem. Day Parade

Branson and I headed down to Newport, KY to roll with Galaxie Skateshop in the 2010 Memorial Day Parade. All hell broke loose as the Galaxie crew shredded down Monmouth for this epic five block journey.

Mixed in with these photos are a few clips of Kokomo Joe, Gary Collins and Wes Vickers on the Newport bridge ramp during the Galaxie/Instrument BBQ fundraiser.

Make sure to stop in to Galaxie Skate Shop whenever you are in Newport. Andrew runs one of the best independent shops in our entire area and is constantly giving back to the skate community.

No Good Dirty --- Dry Ridge Skate Park with Fickle

Jimmy, Zulu, Lew, Ben and I hit up Dry Ridge, KY for some fun on an old school snake run. Please note most robots were to be found in cubicles and golf courses on this morning.

Lew Ross and Ben Osborne of Fickle Boards are insanely talented skaters. Lew is the creator and owner of Fickle Boards, one of Cincinnati's finest skateboard companies. He started his company with very limited capital and has worked tirelessly to build a successful, small business. Lew and his team are constantly on the road. When they are not ripping up a local park in their hometown area you'll find them picking up fresh wood in PA, hosting a local skate night somewhere in Georgia or talking to a new shop, in person, in TN. I have a lot of respect for guys like this who not only follow their passions but ACTUALLY live and breathe it.

Branson's First Drop In -

Check out this short video of Branson's first drop in on transition. I was so proud of him. He had been running around the house all week saying he was going to do it. So when he said he was ready I grabbed my camera. So glad I did.
