JAX TRIP

Well Ben and Andrew and I jumped in the truck last saturday morning and headed out towards some shredding promises in Jacksonville and Palm Coast for the weekend. If you guys didn't already know, we are wrapping up Fun Boots! filming THIS WEEKEND, so we are trying to squeeze everything in as fast as we can and finish off strong. Anyway, back to the Jax trip.

We started out heading north towards a few gaps in Palm Coast right off the highway. After scoping several of them that seemed like low water levels, we went to the old trusty Palm Coast gap right off the highway and started hitting that bad boy like there was no tomorrow. Tyler Mangus met up with us and was dropping hammers in a matter of a few pulls. Ben and Andrew took their turns and then it was time to keep cruising north.

We got into Jax and started touring around the different spots following our trusty local, Tyler. He took us to about 4 or 5 that we had to choose from that day. It was starting to get late so we cruised over to this perfect waterfall gap... the ONLY problem with this drop was the location: right in the entrance to a golf community. Luckily we got away this night no problem, but we wouldn't be so lucky the next day. Ben's girlfriend and her family were nice enough to let us crash there, we were ever so grateful for the good meals and warm beds, thanks so much Jones family!

The next morning we got going to this crazy little ledge spot we found last time we were in Jax. this spot itself is likely to blow your mind, but not before the stuff Andrew was doing on it does. Tyler took us after that to another spot we had hit before, pretty much a huge ollie drop out of the entrance to this neighborhood, pretty key for filmabilities. It was late enough now to make it back to the golf course gap, but we were kicked out after not too long.

The trip was a fun little journey north and it's always good seeing Tyler and the other homies up there. Thanks to everyone.
