We froze our asses off camping in -20 degree temps outside of Flagstaff last night. Good thing that they have a fun little clover to warm back up in. The park is a free, padless, beer drinking, cool locals, and an all out shin-dig of a public park. Old man Eddie grinded around the clover like a young man fresh out of a peep show. Some Dude (name?) was stalling' inverts and Joe's dog ran around like a bat out of hell. The invert guy got the fog on the team in the parking lot.

New Year's was spent in Sedona with Sean and some of his friends. It's pretty cool up there. We were at some pimped out house in the middle of nowhere. We celebrated every New Year's as it fell on each time zone in North America. Don't remember when 2000 fell on Arizona. A big black cloud fell on Arizona for the Millennium. Wipe out 2000 has just now begun. For the next 4 days before my departure back to Jacksonville we stayed in Tucson with Sean. We caught up with old friends from Pittsburgh, shared stories of the Black Tour, went to bars and coincidentally I got a ride home in a cop car, beat up Joe, skated a couple ditches, and most importantly reminisced on having a fucking blast!

Lots of thanks to everyone we skated with who also hooked us up with spots. Thanks also to everyone we crashed with. The same welcome is always at our doors. Thanks for the use of your truck Joe. Get your asses to the East fellas, most of you were born here and are missed by many. Thanks especially to Eastern Boarder for being a true skate shop, for being true to what we all live for, and for all of the free shit you sent before the start of our tour. THE BLACK TOUR.
