    Talking TR: Tuckin' and Huckin' in El Cerrito - Grasski Related

    Out West here, California to be more specific, well we are not as lucky as you Coloradoans. Mother nature has a way of waiting till winter to give us snow. Thats OK, with some vintage grasskis and zero experience one can do just about anything.


    here I am wondering just how fast these can go



    Answer: pretty fast



    One practice run, sketch as hell, I felt like a Giraffe on roller skates. Lets step it up!!





    Oh shit I landed it, now what? commit I guess




    Booyah!




    Boo....



    This shit works, its on!


    Gerome
















    Gerome wanted to get in the car to drive home, I insisted that he put on all of MTB pads and bomb the hill on plastic tracks. Seeing how he fell 2 seconds into it, I was pretty impressed to see this...










    It wasn't switch but it was definitely to the road

    LMAO, way to git sum when there wasn't much to get. I like the last two the best, the "oh shit, what do i do next" look is always priceless, add in oncoming traffic and not knowing how to stop and you have an epic tr. where did you get the grass skis btw?
    Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.

    Seize the day, trusting little in the future.

    if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch

    How does one even come to own a pair of grass skis?
    You seem to have a firm grasp on the obvious.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.
