Scrapping the schedule and route we planned, we pointed south and started a caravan with the Vibralux guys. We made a stop in Wichita to skate a bridge park, and rolled into Dallas sometime after midnight. Sorry I can’t post up all the photos from the contest here, as I have to save them for print. But hey, its your own fault for not going in person!!
After the contest madness, we parted ways with our good friend Rob as he went onto Atlanta. Tien and Emma stayed along for the ride and we drove across the giant boring state of Texas and into New Mexico. Ghost stories and ufo myths passed the time as we drove through dark desert highways on the way to Carlsbad. What’s in Carlsbad New Mexico exactly? Well, a hold in the ground … literally. This national park is a giant cave almost a mile deep that makes you feel like you’re on another planet.
