I’ve uploaded some photos I took of our trip up to Oakland and back here – there’s a couple from Hollywood / LA, some from San Francisco, and some from the drive back along the PCH including a stop at the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park which was unreal. The scenery along the coast is something that everyone should witness at some point in their lifetime, it really is that amazing.
The drive back on Monday took us literally all day, we set off not long after 10am and arrived back in San Diego at around 1am the next day. We did stop off at a fair few places though including some trails just south of Oakland, Capitola, and later Santa Barbara for some dinner and a couple of beers on State Street.
All in all it was an ace weekend, I got to check out a couple of different parks (Gilman Street in Berkeley and one in Alameda) as well as some awesome street at the UC Berkeley campus. Shame my back was too sore to ride for most of the time but it was rad just being there all the same, the campus was amazing – so much fun small stuff to ride as well as a crazy selection of rails to throw yourself down. And not a skatestopper in sight which is an amazing thing in itself – totally different to how downtown San Francisco is now for example, I still can’t get over the fact that they stoppered the Embarcadero considering how central that place was to the whole skateboarding scene there at one point.
Oh aye, and the new Giddy Motors album is awesome.
