After jamming with Steve-O on “Time To Die,” we hit the northbound road around 2:00pm with a set destination of the California Central Coast region—Los Osos, specifically. Supposedly there was this kick-ass park to be found there and, sure enough, it was indeed kick-ass. Alas, we only had about an hour of daylight remaining, but the park ranger—or at least that’s what she was dressed like—was kind enough to keep the park open past its normal hours of operation. Unsurprisingly, Mike Kassak killed it, but Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Dave England and even Ehren McGhehey were able to log some footage. Me, I just hung out on the flat bar in the corner, because the size and scope of this park was a bit—no, make that much beyond my limited abilities. Anyway, we skated up until the twilight, at which point we broke for a dinner of baby-sized burritos and Kassak picked up his new nickname of “Blue Eyes.” After a ripping downhill roll to the bar from our hotel, we went live from the corner of an Irish-themed bar in downtown San Luis Obispo around 11:45pm. The guys all periodically came over to talk about the road trip and anything else that came to mind, which, in the end, didn’t amount to much but was still fun (aside from those two random English blokes of course). I think we topped out at 30 viewers by Ustream accounting methods, all of whom must have been tickled pink to catch us in all our inane, semi-inebriated glory.
