Skate session at Green lake

Anyone notice that the Greenlake skate park has been a little quieter now that the Seattle Center Park opened… a couple of us took advantage of this and i cruised down with Randa Shahin (evo team rider), Erykah and Ilana in town from Mt. Hood on their way up to Whistler.  I took some pics and we actually ran into one of our newest athletes Lysander (my lil’ homie w/ dreads in the photos).  Check out some photos and come hang out w/ us at the park sometime soon.

evo DC | Jacob’s 22nd Bday

Hobbits are a people who are about half the size of human beings. They are fond of good, plain food and gardens or farmland; they are also good- natured, cheerful, and content to lead lives that are unexciting and lacking in adventure.
