Flashback January 1st 2007: The 13 WaRRioR SeSSion

My son turns 14 today. Unbelievable that I have had the pleasure and pain of fatherhood for 14 years. The Gifts of the Creator to some are never apparent. To others they live a life of great appreciation for what they have. There are sacred gifts that we can experience in our lives. And Not everyone gets to experience all of these gifts if any. And one of them is the Gift of procreation. The observation of human development thru chromosomal transmittance. Making a child.

Again, don't get this diatribe twisted. If you have kids, then you get to experience it. If you don't, heck, that's FINE. This Earth is populated to say the least.

Well, I always try to do something unique to commemorate the day. And every year, I have, indeed come up with something unique. On this day, I thought it would be highly ceremonial to organize a skate session with 12 other skaters, counting Kain, makes 13. And only 13 skaters would be allowed and the goal would be 13 different skate spots before the day is done. Well, the rain saw to that ending, but we hit some memorable spots and had some spectacular moments. What follows is the official, published for the first time, highlight photo journal as documented by my love, my life, my partner in crime: Paloma.
Pix first, captions later..

Guaraguao jumping the 7 Set by Crane's Roost Park in Altamonte.

I broke my first board jumping and successfully landing the Sun trust Gap. Time to hit play it again sports.
Jason Nephew Killed it at the banks, he for sure gets the award for the day.

Huge Fakie Rock Board slides on the wicked banks, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Me, carving up the banks.

Magii, one backside down on the banks.

And one with more air. Your such a crazy Dread!

The number 13 was with us all day.

Rolling out on the Hartley Hill downhill!

Look, signs of encouragement.

And here is an actual in frame shot of me breaking the second and brand new board of the night. First Trick! New Record for me.
This is the shot of all of us being taxied up the Hartley Hill via Paloma towing us in the car. Look in the mirror, can you see anybody you know? Great Shot!


Because it started raining we ended the night at downtown Orlando bombing the biggest parking garage we could find with a sweet downhill run.

Hope you like,

ENJOY!
