AGGGHHHH! I CAN'T WAIT TO SKATE THE CONTINENT!

7 weeks a counting my friends!

**summerbum8** · 05-20-2007 04:13 AM

so things are sweet. i ended up in paris for 2 days and skated across the city at 4 in the morning back from my friends hotel. that was badass. the sidewalks are huge there and super smooth! didnt get to do the slalom run by the eiffel tower cause it was raining. but then i went to zurich switzerland and that was crazy hills!!! i slid this 25% grade hill. definatley the steepest road ever. now im in muenchen germany and about to go do a pub crawl on my board instead of a bike...so it should be interesting. tomorrow im off to brussels belgium. till then, later on.

barcellona was realy sweet. i didnt get to skate as much as i wanted to cause i was travelling with 5 other architecture majors and that city is full of sweet stuff. but i saw on one of the Lush videos they had a whole section on barcellona longboarding, so there has to be cool places.

Ah, an architecture student! I'm sure you checked out all of Gaudi's creations then. I work in the field you will be working in, if not already. Are you getting a B.S./B.A. in architecture or going for the whole enchilada, a B.Arch?

**summerbum8** · 05-24-2007 05:05 AM

actually im getting the M.Arch as of the summer of '09. anyway, im in Rotterdam now and should be here for a few days. if anyone is here...lemme know.

**summerbum8** · 05-26-2007 05:30 AM

Damn, I should have read here sooner. We have a small crew in rotterdam that could have showd you around. + we have a large crew in The Hague if you had the time to come over and skate some dunepaths.

Let me know if you'll be back in holland later on.
