The Gorge

June 14th, 2008

silvgorgeOn my way to the Gorge I had a stop in London, where I couldnt make it in time from Gatwick to Heathrow and had to get a new ticket for a later flight, my airline Northwestern Atlantic reacted very kind and gave me a flight to Seattle some hours later without additional costs, thanks again. In Seattle I had to sleep a night and then I flow to Portland next morning where Tekko from LF picked me up from the Airport for the 1-hour drive to Hood River.

When we arrived at the spot, we had a slider and a kicker to hit, both very nice. The wind was OK for 9m. The Inept Crew did some amazing stuff on the slider and Dre even landed a 7 from the Kicker, unbelievable action! I had some nice slides with 1s of the slider and also hit the Kicker a couple of times. I was stoked about my first day here, today Davey and Sleezy will arrive here too and the Smith limousine, which has a huge slider on the top will be here as well. Check nwkite.com for more pics.
