The reason to go down to SoCal was to attend Gravity's Slidefest. The event was epic. The level of skating is going thru the roof.




I traveled down with Yan L'hermitte. Yan is an awesome slider and freerider. We got up early to hit Buffalo airport for a 5:30 am flight! Buffalo is 2 hours from Toronto. We had no problems at the border or with the plane. These were very good omens!
