I have to admit there are certain perks to traveling in the company of “celebrities.” Case in point, on the second day of our road trip we stopped at a legendary Central Coast skate spot in Morro Bay known as “Giant Food,” a long semi-transitioned bank with a semi-transitioned curbish-lip on top. The bank has long succumbed to the effects of time and erosion, but that didn’t stop Mike Kassak and Dave England from whipping out a number of tricks. Nor, for that matter, did the police officer who rolled up mid-session. We all expected to be getting the traditional boot, but instead the officer just hopped out to watch for a while. I’ve said it before (at a strip club in Las Vegas for Greg Wolf’s bachelor party, specifically) and I’ll say it again: It certainly does help to have the “Golden Midget” in your back pocket to bridge any and all potentially troublesome encounters.
