Last day

So, my last day finally came. Or my second last. My flight got cancelled so I am going to fly tomorrow.

As I said in one of my stupid embarrassing first posts, it was an incredible experience. I've met so many people, seen so many things, established great relationships and hopefully learned something out of it.

I want to thank everybody who made this possible for me, did something for me or wrote a comment on this blog!

Special thanks to my great second host family, Tanners family, Rosemarys Family, Charly and June, my dad, my girlfriend and all my german friends at home!

Special special thanks to Dylan "I have white feet and black legs" Milne who let me live with him in this small room for so long and could even stand the smell of my ankle brace and myself! Hope to see you bitch at home!

I'm not gonna continue posting, maybe one post with the link to my new blog which doesn't exist yet.

It's alright, see you all, thank you...

River rope swinging jumping good time











That place was pretty awesome. Just such a clean river and a nice setting. It was really beautiful. It was great to swing on these ropes. As you see on the pictures, you could get pretty high and just let it go and fly into the water. You went of from the tree where you can see this old cowboy. The guy swinging on the fourth picture is Benji, Tanners dad. He was probably the best swinger and could do backflips off it. I am just on the second picture. I jumped off from this branch a little bit right-above. It was like 43 feet high which equals like 12 or 13 meters. It was pretty scary but after I did it I was happy and did it a few times again. My favourite part. Thank you Benji for taking us

skatepark st angelo









The St angelo skatepark. This is a fucking good skatepark. And not even that big. But a bunch of possibilities and so much to learn you could ride it every single day and there would still be something. That is kinda what I "preach" according to the bowl stuff. It is just so much fun to ride around and find some ways to carve, not even doing tricks or anything. It feels so natural. I could just do some grinds in the 8 foot ramps and rocknrolls and one lien to tail, we filmed it and I was pretty proud of that. Look at the 14 foot, the real high one. It is so gnarly. I think peter hewitt lipslided it. I could just drop in in the one next to it the 12 foot which has some vert. I was too scared of the 14 foot I would maybe do it with a helmet and pads but it just seems too insane when you stand on the top. I will miss this stuff, luckily there is an improvement in the german parks and I can't wait to check it all out.

Honey melon












Man honeydew or honeymelon or whatever is a sick-ass fruit. It is so overlooked and I don't know why. You can have so much fun with it. It is already fun to open. Then you get all the shit out and eat it with your bare hands like a caveman, get all the juice and fruity stuff out. It doesn't taste tooo sweet and seems pretty natural. It is really cool to eat it with more people like a honeydew party. So watch out for honeydews like this one in stangelo

ST angelo 1




We made a trip to st.angelo like 2 weeks ago. It was Numan, Tanner, Me and Benji (spelling?!).

As you see, we went there to skate. Here you can see Benji putting the groceries in the refridgerator, the crew, the truck and the camping spot where we finally stayed. It is really cool to just camp, get your own groceries, skate, grill, swim.... Way better than staying in a stupid hotel.
