Britt, Tommy, Derrick and I left for San Diego around 6am Wednesday morning. We took the i-10 to the 85 to the i-8 and it felt like it took forever! I really don't like the 8, to many hills and border stops, oh well. We got in to San Diego around 11:30 but we had to drive up to Carlsbad for Crossroads, kinda wish we took the 10 to the i-15, it might of been faster. Anyways, we got to Crossroads around 12, perfect timing. Crossroads is like ASR, its a trade show that Jamie Thomas started at the Black Box Distribution warehouse but its just skateboarding companies. It was pretty cool, met a lot of cool people, talked to some guys I haven't seen in awhile and got some free stuff. After Crossroads we got some food then took off for our hotel, but we made a stop in Del Mar to skate that bank to ledge next to the train tracks on the beach, its a rad spot. I shot a couple photos there, but I'm going to hang on to one of them. He's a photo of Britt's front smith..
After that we went to our hotel. It was in the heart of Downtown San Diego. We pretty much just settled in and hung out for rest of the night.
On Thursday, we woke up around 8:30, got ready, went to breakfast then headed down to ASR at the San Diego Convention Center. The convention center was a couple blocks away from our hotel so we just skated to it, pretty rad. For those who don't know what ASR is, its a trade sport for pretty much any action sports related company or shop, its pretty rad. We spend about a hour there, then Derrick, Britt and I decided to drive up to Costa Mesa to go RVCA to hang out with Carney, we went to Costa Mesa to and skated with Zac and Dillon for a little. After Costa Mesa we went to the beach and watched an amazing sunset, stopped at Dough Boys then headed back to San Diego. Once we got back to the hotel, Britt, Adam, Bailey, Cody, Allie and I went to TGI Fridays and got some food, then went back to the hotel and crashed.
Friday was a rad day. We went to ASR in the morning then went skating. We hit up some rad skatepark in San Diego. They had this huge bowl in the back and Dustin and Cody were shreding it. Here are some photos.

This bowl was huge, you have to be there in person to know how big it is.
After we got done there we went to this ledge spot under the Coronado bridge then headed back to the hotel, went to dinner then went back to the hotel and chilled. I went over to Coronado just to check out the view of downtown San Diego, driving on that bridge is gnarly!!!
Saturday was the last day of ASR, everyone expect Mine and Adam's car left in the morning. So Britt, Adam, Bailey, Allie, Cody and I went to ASR for a little then Britt and I left for Newport. We ended up driving striahgt to LA to meet up with Zac, Carney, Austin, Sean and Daniel. After LA we went to Chino park then we went back to Costa Mesa, hung out for a little, then went to Tyler's house and crashed.
We went to church Sunday morning, chilled for a little then went to Costa Mesa with Zac, Sean, Daniel and Lance. Then Britt and I took off for AZ.
So that was pretty much my trip. Super fun. Can't wait for next year. I'm going back to Cali in a month for Knotts with Dutton so it'll be sick!
