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!

ausin: stuff in streets










Austin: 2 minute crossroad









I took all these pictures from the same spot in a time period of maybe 5 minutes (not sure about last one but these girls were there all the time). There are a lot of different and weird looking people in Austin and I like that. Because of the big concert there were even more of this people of course... I don't really know what the girls with the pizza were doing there, but it was funny. The guys in the back of one picture are playing air guitar because right there where we were standing was a little concert...

Austin: art house





check out the sheep...

candy shop
















This is the candy shop near our second hotel... As you probably know, I love candy. The candy was pretty good but I just ate there 2 times.. Again, a lot of pictures and stuff in there, especially the fat girl is funny...

donut place







This is a donut place. They had a big variety of donouts and they were just 55cents each, so you could eat a lot of them. I like it that they had a lot of "independent" restaurants in Ausin, not so many chains like mcdonalds, tacobell, burgerking, kfc, pizzahut, jack n jill donuts and so forth. A really good place was Wholefoods, a healthy eating place where everything was organic. I ate a big salad and drank some orange juice so I had to pay over 10 bucks, eating healthy is expensive... I miss pizzeria toto and the asia bistro in Germany, and I am going to miss all kinds of Tacos, burritos and chips with salsa in Germany...


Austin: another store (clothing, mask, rings)

the front of the shop... Congress street, too.
In the shop. Somebody should tell the girl that lurking is not allowed.


Chase in front of the shop.






SLASH



This is another significant store. It was divided into 2 parts; one part offered clothing and other stuff, the other one sold all kinds of masks. I don't know if this was one or two shops, but who cares...





Austin: the strange shop


This is one of those strange shops in Austin. We went there mostly on our first day.
This one was a shop who sold all kinds of old stuff, pictures, statues, strange stuff and so forth. It is really interesting because some things were quiet abstract while others were stupid or funny... It think this is the front of the store...








Tanner being a strong dragon fighting warrior.















All kinds of old pictures and other stuff.
