ColoRADO!!! This state is great!! While staying with the great Rob Mckendrey we got treated to amazing hills, great food and a press photo shoot for two papers. The first hill we bombed in Avon was a mission that Rob organized, the hill is a Private gated road that winds up the resort hillside up to the Carlton Ritz Hotel. Mckendrey called ahead to arrange a tour bus to take some visitors with special needs, another vehicle used as a trojan horse drove up with gear and we all meet up at the top. The road had snow on the sides, water running down the corners and the largest crew of skaters thrashing the 3 mile road past the gatehouse for a killer finish. We later skated a trail from Vail to Copper Valley, were another photo shoot took place. We then set of on our way to Boulder, with a slight detour back the wrong way. We have had several detours but every time we end up getting to see amazing landscapes and meet extraordinary people! We finally made it to Boulder around 2 am, after making a few wrong turns, asking for directions and navigating while the Loco crew slept. That night we parked three blocks from Zack Maytums' school and planned to terrorize Zack at school. The Loco crew woke early and began to drive in circles around Zacks' school, asking every person we saw "Do you know Zack Maytum". To our surprise almost every person knew who Zack was, when we finally parked in front and talked to some teachers there came Zack out of the school shaking his head. We promoted the event, handed out about 100 concrete waves to the students and staff at the school, before leaving to check out Never Summers headquarters. Later that night after ripping Flagstaff and having a full on bath in a gas station bathroom the Loco crew was ready to have a dance party in the Loco a cruise around town to various parties. The timing for the Buffalo Bill Downhill couldn't have been better! This was graduation weekend and parties were happening on every block.
