A Solitary Day

Life / Skate

I played hookie from some responsibilities on Wednesday and enlisted the help of Skate Tested product tester, Jerry to drive up to the Napa wine valley and skate with the Solitary Arts crew. Above is one of Roger Mihalko's boards.

The crew, Yong-Ki Chang, Roger, Bob Lake and Jerry.

Backside lipslide to boneless out. Wait til you see the footage.

Bob, hands down one of the most fluid skater's I've seen.

While I shot some photos, Jerry was filming from some strange angles.

Roger, barefoot frontside air.

Layback, yes he pulled it.

It was a great day in Napa county. While most of the continent is in the cold grips of Winter, it's been pretty damn nice in California.
