Sometimes it’s hard to tell what Tyler Hampson likes more. Macaroni and cheese or skateboarding. For him the perfect day is enjoying his two favorite things. I don’t know if he actually got to eat macaroni and cheese this day but we know he’s thinking about it now. – Leecifer

The California Slide Jam hill looked fun and promising until the cops showed up before we even had a chance to start. With the first hill busted and no planned backup hill we relied on local Drew Edwards and his extensive local hill research to take us to a new hill. “It’s with in skating distance, it’s really close.” We skating for around 10 minutes with the sun blazing and walked up this hill until we got to the next spot. My armpits and back already soaked in sweat from my backpack and the intense sun rays beating down upon me. (I would have rather had brought my car as the day progressively got hotter and hotter.)

The 2nd hill was a private road (according to the residents) that had a few houses off of it and Drew’s friend lived in one of those houses. We weren’t even there 5 minutes before we were told that it was private property and we had to leave. 5 minutes after that a different neighbor told us that we were unwanted and they were going to call the cops. “We are supposed to tell them that you know someone who lives here.” With that Drew pushed hard and fast to see if his buddy was home. He wasn’t so we moved on to the next hill

We were skating to the 3rd hill and it was all uphill and it did not seem very close. Ali Mehreban and I decided to turn around, go all the way back to the 1st hill to grab the car and see if we could beat everyone there. We skated for awhile, in fact the car was much farther than I had remembered. We finally made it to the car. We found another skater waiting to try to find where the hill had been moved to. He followed us and we easily caught back up to everyone skating to the next spot. Kids begged for rides and tried grabbing onto the car to let us pull them to the next hill. We left most of them in our dust.

We finally made it to what would be our final destination in our journey around some of the hills of Fallbrook. The ramp was put out and the competition was underway before people even knew it. Judging was done by Max Capps, Ali Mehraban and Michael Hinze.

There were lots of kids shredding it up and most of the kids who were hitting the ramp were also attempting 180′s and we even saw some 360 attempts. Although no 360′s were landed plenty of 180′s and a few no comply’s were landed. Not to mention all the different variations of slides. There were attempts at techsliding, we saw some hard wheel sliding and every variation of stand up slide I know of. We skated until the cops came to tell us they got another call and we couldn’t skateboard anymore in Fallbrook that day. “This is my second time talking to you guys and now you’re wasting my time” said the cop. “We won’t skateboard anymore but would it be alright if we finished our bar-b-que” asked Brett Ciabattini.

Ben Young, Chad Gibbs and Aaron Enns talk to the cop again. "Since we got called if I don't kick you out and someone gets hurt it becomes my liabaility so you guys have to go" said the officer. Photo By: Leecfier

We ate hot dogs, did the podium. Passed out some shwag and everyone left. It ended up being a somewhat successful day and everyone had a good time. – Leecifer Eisler

Song- Human

Each time we skate a new chapter is added to our books of life. A new story unfolds and we embrace whatever radical event happens. Skaeboarding is a fairly dangerous sport however we try to ride within our limits so that we can ride again another day. Too often other drivers on the road cause dangerous situations for us. As you can see in the video that the driver of the mini van passes our buddy Austin Staples. Key let them know whats up with they’re driving and we took some more runs. – Leecifer
