Weekend of Interesting people...

-So friday began with waking up Ozz at about eight oclock, calling a really tired Nick Webber, and receiving a call from an eager Lithuanian. Once all of this was done, the small crew that had assembled for the day trip, was off to Missoula. The first real stop consisted of a bathroom break at Drummond. If anyone knows anything about Drummond, they probably know that it is a classic Montana one horse town. Upon driving up to the nearest Conoco, we met our first odd person: a angst filled gangster. We pulled up as he appeared to be cursing and punching at a car window. Thinking there must be another gansta' in the car we all looked to see what the commotion was. To our surprise, the thug was actually punching at his mother. We never did find out what he was so angry about...

It was hear I bet Ozz ten bucks he couldn't buy tampons. I was right... But he almost did it. Anyway, on the way out we decided Drummond should merit a crew picture. Well searching for a place for such a picture, an old man popped out of his truck and yelled "why don't you take a picture near the horns you horny boys!" This was said in a very old man hick voice, and instantly was the quote, and moral riser of the trip.

About a half hour later we were in Missoula. Apparently Race and some other boys had to run from the cops early that morning because of a friendly police visit at the skate park. So we met up at EOW. We then seshed the park, were I found a paint can to gap.

We then left shortly after for the Skaggs building on campus. This is where the tapes were filled... We skated this foot high ledge ollie to 8 or so foot drop. SO gnarly. Anyway, Nick shot photos, Ozz shot long lens, And I shot fish. Lotttttsss of stuff went down , it was gnarly. Race almost killed himself by flipping over the ledge head first, but somehow he was able to catch himself. Spidey senses must have been tingling. Nick, Race, Jake, Emelio, and Austin all got clips.

We then went to the stair by skaggs and got even more clips. Race was attempting a full cab when I yelled out of the blue, "hey Race, grind the rail." And so he did it. Plain and simple... Oh and it has a gnarcious kink at the end, making it even crazier. We then filmed some lines, and golfed with water bottles. Once the filming at Skaggs was complete we all left for Taco Johns. Ate, and then said goodbye to my Kalispell Brothers. We then went to the super 8 Bank and filmed a couple trickkkiesss. Next we went to Target to find some gloves. No such luck, I was pissed... On the way out Nick decided that he wanted a picture of Austin Ollieing through the circular structure outside. Before we even got to skate the spot, a lady in red came up to Nick and told him that he could not take pictures of the structure, as it is against company policy. She basically felt really ridiculous telling us that we had to leave for taking photos. Weirdest kickout ever, until later that night...

We then decided to go skate a curb at Walmart. Mind you, we were in no way damaging property, and it was way out in the parking lot behind the store, away from any type of customers, and had no "no skateboarding" signs. Well long story short, a lady and a disgruntle looking manager soon came out. The manager was waving his arms yelling " no skateboarding, get off the skateboard." Wait I take that back, he was screaming it. We all looked at each other, and began walking to the car think that this guy was not worth our time and we would leave. Well austin was on his way to the car, he got on his board and began pushing towards the car. The man then screamed at the top of his lungs " I said get off the skateboard!" except in rather nastier language. Austin then slowly turned around and said, "stop f---ing yelling at me sir, we were leaving nicely." The man then began just screaming at him. It was on. A four minute screaming match began with Paulius yelling, its because you are an american and work at walmart" and other such comments. He was probably the meanest man ever. The whole time we simply tried to talk to him and he just screamed. Oh and when he came our he said "time to go BOYS, and I mean Boys." and all of us were nearly in our twenties. It was ridiculous. Anyway he screamed and even appeared to have thrown something at us. The funniest thing was what nick said though. As we left he smiled and said, "nice to meet you sir, have a good one." And it made him so mad, ha. Basically that made the whole trip, a good ol' fun kick out.

Anyway, we then decided to retire to Nicks house and stay the night. I slept like a rock, and we drove home this morning, and I took a nap and skated a little, and here I am, updating the blog!

Montage should be up soon. my hard drive is being funny so bear with me. Also Nick took tons of pictures, so I'll post a few, and post more tomorrow.
