Another summer in North Carolina to enjoy the simple life — family, friends, swimming holes. I don’t hate it.

Alex Welsh and I went on a quick trip to Warsaw. We had a great time and learned a lot. Polish currency is called zloty. The sun starts to come up at 3:30am in the summer. You can apparently pickle anything. Thanks to our wonderful producers and everyone that made it happen on such short notice.

I was assigned to shoot the prelims of the Maloof Money Cup in Queens on Saturday. They built a legit street course and the pros were throwing down for a $100,000 grand prize. These kinds of things never represent the best of skateboarding, but it was still interesting to watch.
