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.

Trash2a

Trash2

yeah

deathspot

hmm good spot... skatet there a few months ago. I did some cool tricks. It was fun. Right at the highway, first spot cleaning, then riding down the big bank, gettin enough speed in the small one and then some liptricks.

Exile

Just an entry to have something new on it. I bought Exile on main street a few weeks ago. There are probably already millions of pages about this Ablum written and what am I, not even knowing all song names, supposed to say now. My favourite songs are probably the first one, rip this joint, let it loose, tumbling dice and shine a light. I also like this I don't want to talk about Jesus I just want to see his face. Whatever....

At the moment I skate pretty bad and it's annoying me. And I have too much little shit things to do and that's why I can not do all the stuff I want to. I come home at 4. It takes me mostly at least till 4:45 to be ready to do something. Then I skate mostly and that takes me mostly until 8 or 9. I try to go to bed around 12, but I eat and shower and talk so I just have maybe 2 hours left. Maybe 1 hour school stuff and the other hour I maybe do something else but not all of the things I want to do. For example I want to finish my book I borrowed from the libary in order to order another book before the year is over. I also want to go to the store and buy more Cd's and listen more to it. I want to read more skatemagazines and watch movies or skatevideos or something. Another thing is that I would like to be able to skate without having things in the back of my mind... 3 more weeks and school is out..

By the way Thrash Video 2 is about to come out. I just want to film more skating because the most skating so far sucks or consists of slamming so it doesn't really make sense. There are maybe 10 Tricks so far which are kind of good. So my promise is to release the second part sunday or something and film some stuff and the introduced K mart spot (mini flatrails yeahhhh). Okay, I am done for right now, it's almost 12 and I want to write an Email to a strange animal called wildtigercat. seesee

Ziggy plays guitar

Hey

I didn't really keep the promise of loading up all cd Covers and writing about all Cd's I bought. My excuse is that I had to listen it more before.

That's my last one. It's really good, best go-to-bed-album ever! I mostly fall asleep after 3 or 4 songs but they are all still really good. I don't know what to say, Starman is probably my favourite song, I like a lot of lyrics whatever fuck

2 achievements

No, I didn't land the wallride on this picture, but I landed it 2 times before like this, but probably not so high. It was fun, we built a kicker and a quater out of this shit, too. K mart action

K mart

So, that's behind K mart, a big supermarket... It's almost next to the house. We skate there a lot (not in the last 2 weeks, but usally). We just carry 1 or 2 flatbars and skate on this manual table (if you wanna call it a manual table). There is not really anything, but the ground is smooth and nobody cares. Some homeless persons have their home their although I have never seen one; maybe they left this place to another one and left their built home... I really like this place, I don't know how to explain it, but to me all this trash, these constructions I don't know why they are there and the whole wide view you have over there is really beautiful. I enjoy being there. Dylan looks like an Idiot, though.

Tanner's G backyard

This is Tanners sick backyard. This whole house and the yard are pretty american (in a good way). I like to go over there and hang around, always skateboard, swimming, eating.... Tenner is doing a nollie bs disaster on this one picture, the other one is a disaster and the one taken from the bottom of the ramp is a fs lipslide. Tanner skates very good at his ramp. Yeah, what else should I say, this little bastard is one of my best friends over here and I will miss him...

Finally, but now it happened

Hey

I am sorry, that my blog was dead for some weeks, but I was unmotivated to take pictures and Dylan stays at his moms a lot and is too dumb to bring the computer over. I promise that I will update more now, at least twice a week. I'm already leaving in 2 Months, for all people who are interested, my flight is booked on the 24 June. Unbelieveable, that it went buy so fast... I will leave sad and be exited to come home, it's so weird when you think about it: I am going to pack my stuff, go to the airport, cry, be sad, and 24 hours later I am going to be the happiest person in the world. The weird thing about it is the time in the plane; I will have spent a year in amerika and I will got to my home, but in the plane, I am nowhere, just in the air (hoping it won't crash). Actually I always tell myself in the plane that it doesn't even matter if it crashes because I have to die anyways, that makes me feel a bit better (I am a little bit of a pussy on the plane). At the moment I have a sick bet with Dylan going, 5 bucks. I'm trying to keep a sticker on my leg for a week (started friday night) without getting it off. I put some tape over it and I hope I am going to win.

But now to the important thing:

TRASH VIDEO 1 is out! Watch it above for free! Fuck the lakai video, fuck the new fallen video, fuck any skatevideo, trash video is the shit!!!!
Here the information:

Trash video 1 : calculus
directed by: max nilges
filmed by: max nilges, dylan milne, gooman
edited by: max nilges
starring: max nilges, dylan milne, gooman, pig latin, nick, some other guys
why it rules: (-1)*-1*-1*-1= 1
why it sucks: skating sucks, music (which is mostly not there) sucks, filming sucks, editing sucks (but if you multiply a negative number 4 times with itself the solution is positive).

So check it out, but we won't wait and kill it with Thrash video 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Marble davis skatepark

Marble davis skatepark, Austin.

We went there 2 times.

As you can see, there is a bowl and a Streetcourse. The streetcourse is pretty cool and has some handrails, stairs, london gaps, banks (that's where I'm standing on) and ledges. The Bowl is (as the other park, too) super smooth and really, really huge. Even the lowest tranny has almost vert and everything is really steep. I just carved a lot in there and carving in 12 foot ramps is endless fun. These guys skating on the pictures were nuts: Nollie bs180,m nollie heeflip (almost landed) and fsboardslide. This guy who did the nolliebs180 did almost do a nollie crooked down the handrail...

I got more pictures from another skatepark which I like even more, check in a few days!
