The day started out pretty normal as far as the tours gone.  Lag, coffee, lag, trick, kicked out by a security guard, indecision, and then it got really bad ass.  The Farmer’s always throw a feast every year when we come through on our way to Lake Owen and today was no exception.  They brought out all the big guns, home-made mac and cheese, baked beans, fruit salad, a crazy Farmer dip for chips, brats, burgers, beers, veggie joints, and the freshest sweet corn this side of God’s country.  we sat around and caught up with Mike and Susan and told some stories and then it was time to jet to do some more blading.  We checked out a little diddy at a school in Egypt and caught a fire clip with Colin and a bad ass basketball shot with Sean.  On to the next few spots that we had to pass on and then the sun set.  After waiting a good 30 minutes for John to show up to shoot photos Alex laid down a giant gap and we were off and running for the night.  Minutes later Alex was getting his birthday trick as he turned 25 at the stroke of midnight.  Happy birthday bud.  Back into the smelly van and it was time to shoot a photo of SOTY BAB.  Now John got confused at exactly which bank Bolino was planning on 360′ing into which created several laughs from the peanut gallery.  The mission was crazy, run up covered in shit, which John had to sweep, which woke up the people in the apartment complex, at 1:30am on a Sunday night, with all the lights and flashes set up, the generator running INSIDE the van to keep the noise down, an impossible landing, and branches in the way.  SOTY BAB laced though.  The crew quickly broke everything down and we dipped.  Next spot was the bustiest of busts but we lied to the security guard and just kept filming until Garlinghouse was able to lay down the honey baked.  For the final cherry on the sundae we got kicked out of the final spot at 4am as Sean laid down the perfect transfer with the security guard walking up behind him with a fucking night stick in his hand.  Iced by McDonalds breakfast whose ‘card machine won’t be working for another 20-30 minutes’ we headed over to White Castle where the dudes laced up 30 burgers in under 5 minutes, I guess they were hungry from murdering all day.  It’s 6:21 and I have an hour of compression left, I’m taking a shower and then the video should be live.  Enjoy.
