Storms Ahead…
Today the proud sponsor is Street Artist Urethane and we don’t feel like putting our logo on shit, and we don’t feel like doing a hyperlink. You know who we are.
After the big storm on the way home from Wichita, the temperature dropped a bit. A nice break from the heat we had in Texas. After getting home at 7:30 am in the morning we snoozed till about 2 pm. We cruised to a local cafe to fuel up for the day and watched a recap of all the footage from the tour so far. It’s really cool to see what you have so far and it definitely helps give you a boost of motivation for the day. After our egg sandwiches and biscuits and gravy we met up with Alex, KC, Pat, and MCfresh.
We set up a wild roof roll to dumpster grind to wallride for Bolino, so he went to the van to grab his skates. He soon realized he left them in Wichita last night to enjoy the storm. After talking to a homie from Wichita we were informed they were hanging our in a garbage can soaking wet, nice one Skater of the Year. Haynes is on assignment to shoot him for his ONE interview and he no longer has blades, ice. Now that Colin is skating Nimhs, Bolino uses his a few times during the day to come through with some nice photos. Around the corner, everyone starts skating a kink rail. We hear some fireworks down the street, about a minute later a parade of 10 police cars race past and a helicopter starts to circle above us. As Michael and Chris finish up their deals, the rest of the crew strolls down to check out the scene. Turns out there was a 2 car drive by shooting, and 1 man died. Welcome to KC team.
After business is taken care of on the stink rail, we go down to the street to a foundation gap to the street Alex has been sitting on. With Haynes in town and the generator it seems like a good night, he jumps the gap a few times, photo turns out nice, Bolino built some weird trailer grind set up and got a photo and we cruised to dinner. Everyone was psyched on the 2 for 1 burgers and pool table. The next day we find out the building next to the foundation spot had collapsed and someone died. Alex must have landed too hard and shook the building.
After fueling up, we headed to this big bank to ledge. After everyone was worn out from struggling to charge down the on ramp to his huge bank and the tricks were landed we cruised to the next deal and got hassled by the 5-0 and decided to hit a different part of KC. Bolino threw himself down this long skinny gap a couple times and we called it a night at 4:30 in the morning.
Chris, Michael, and Billy go to NYC on Friday for a TML3 filming tour, so them along with Haynes headed back to Minnesota the next day. They will be back on board in couple weeks to jump back into the madness with the crew. In the meantime, keep checking out www.youhatetoloveit.com to see what the crew is up to in Kansas City.
