Orlando came down from Wisconsin and picked up Micah, Abe and I for the Zero Gravity Skatepark Bluegrass Games in Brevard, NC. We met up with 7 yr old Clay Dougherty there. It was cool to have 3 riders at this event. Micah placed 2nd in the Intermediate Street division.

Micah placed 2nd in the intermediate street (14 and under) and 1st in the intermediate bowl at 6th Avenue on 8/25 http://www.theamsa.com/

Blue Wallace Skateshop put on its first miniramp comp today Sept 1st. After getting stuck in some awful traffic on I65 S for a couple hours, we finaly reached Bowling Green right before the advanced division began. It was close, but Micah finished first! The whole Blue Wallace crew was really cool. Thanks for Lil' Tony -- Concretin who told us about the event and for the Blue Wallace guys who are putting on the Bacon/Galloway demo next week as well as future comps in BG. Some guys at BG have started a nonprofit group called Skateboarding Saved My Life check it out. They hope to do more events at BG and around KY -- hopefully some type of skate series thing, but they are just getting started.

The Wu Kru: Abe, Codie, Micah and David met up with Orlando in Bloomington, IN to enter the Midwest Bowl Competition. It was a lot of fun and the skaters were real welcoming. They had 2 bowls and a street section. Codie placed 3rd in beginners bowl and Micah placed 1st in the Intermediate. The experts were crazy sick! Scroll down for video of Micah's runs. Codie is in the yellow shirt and Abe is in the brown.

Micah is 10 today! We went to Natural Bridge, swam, caught crawdads, hiked, roasted marshmallows and camped. Wished we knew where Moser (the bowl man) lives, but that didn't happen. Put his old 62s back on his set-up in hopes of more speed for the bowl competition in Bloomington, IN Sat.

Wu Kru: Abe, Chase and Micah goes to Dry Ridge and Ollies.

Wow, thanks Orlando for the sweet editing!

Once you get to Phenom, click photos, then "Free Flow Tour Nashville" at the bottom. Abe's huge gash on his forehead is the last pic. Thanks to Orlando for the pics.

Arik, Preston, Abe and Micah had a blast in Bowling Green and Nashville. Micah won the 12 and under Free Flow Comp. On our way home we stopped at BG and Abe tried a nollie bigspin, backflip, overkrook down the 6 stair, giving himself a gash over the eye and a trip to the hospital.

Hometown Heroes at Louisville was a blast! The weather was great and the crowd impressive for 10pm on a Monday.
Roadtrip Friday to Bowling Green and Nashville. Abe, Preston and Arik will be joining us. Micah also got invited to skate in the Warp Tour Mini Ramp Contest on August the 1st at River Bend in Cincy!

Thanks Orlando for the pics from the Cosmics Event.

Here's video of Arlington and Greenbelt.

Had a blast at Greenbelt. What a gem of a park! Small, but with a great bowl. Micah was able to get more air then ever on the backside early grab. He finished 1st in the 10 and under and was interviewed by Marcus Ngbea of the Gazette and Star of Greenbelt. The article is also supposed to be in Thurs Metro section of The Washington Post. Everyone had a blast, the atmosphere was great. We'll definitely be back to Greenbelt. We actually met a cool skater named Jake from Bedford, VA -- that's where Micah's other grandparents live. We can't wait to check his miniramp out and road trip to the new Lynchburg Park when it opens later this summer.
