alvjso

school is cool, meeting lots of nice friends. meeting lots of skateboarders and skated one of the best bowls in my life, backyard style. i can cook decently. shoulder is feeling better. the weather has been beautiful. picture of mom and pops at the airport

Sweden has tons of rad shit, everything is a billion years old and the whole city is layered in history. On a negative note, I dislocated my shoulder for the 6th or 7th time yesterday and will be recovering for the next week or so. I should let it heal and strengthen back up for at least 3 weeks, but fuck it i want to skate again only after 1 day of resting especially after finding a lot of new shit and learning how to skate the 12ft vert ramp.

I really need to take next semester off and get surgery on it...Here is some pics of some parks I ventured to outside of sweden. Life is great out here so far... minus the fact that my shoulder is a piece of shit. On the first rainy day i went to stockholm indoor skatepark... it was retarded.... great mini ramp, peanut bowl with rough as shit pool coping (the way it should be) and a 12 foot vert ramp.... lots of older vert skaters out here which is the incentive to learn... school seems easy enough because most students in my classes speak horrible english... FOSH

old town

been skating and venturing around everyday. went out to a club friday night with some german girls and this spanish guy. it was pretty funny. I was exploring a part of town called ostermalmstrog and randomly came across a mini ramp. It was probably the best thing ever. the extentions were about 6 1/2 feet with kinda steep trannies...FUN... heres some pictures of some random stuff through my travels so far. i have been mostly eating ramen noodles and pb+j sandwiches to try to save money for plane tickets/hostels/etc for other countries.

stuff

finally got the interweb at my apartment. The plane ride here was awesome, they had videogames you could play on a tv right in front of you the whole flight, so i played pool and fucked the computer up. Layover in belgium. the airport was so awesome, gotta have to check out belgium. i got here monday afternoon. whoop dee doo. the subways here are so fast and reliable. it makes it very easy to get around the whole city/each island.
I've pretty much just been skateboarding all day everyday since i've been here(big suprise). bombing around the city and then heading to this park with 3 bowls thats right in the middle of a park. Skateboarding is pretty different out here. people look at it as this new exciting thing, since the park is smack in the middle of the city and in an actual park, theres always tons of people stopping by to look. (including hot swedish nuts) holy shit, i thought SoCal had pretty women, but there is a ridiculous amount of straight up BEAUTIFUL blonde swedish girls here. its quite some eye candy. shit rules out here. pce bch
ps. oh yeah my chicopee bowl party went out with a hit, tons of people came to skate and hang. here's some pics of everything.

peacing out

i'll be posting pictures and a few words on my journeys throughout sweden the next 6 months. i leave tomorrow afternoon and am stoked. i slept in the chicopee bowl last night and have a million bug bites. the backyard scene is alive.
