Four square and seven years ago...
Okay so what went down today wasn't as important as that day...but we officially have left! We left from the Star of India in San Diego. Jerry's grandparents were there as was Dr. Steve DeTray. He is a non-profit professor at UWT who really helped Ben get this project into gear. It was awesome and thanks to everyone for YOUR support. We skated about 50 miles and there were some brutal hills but what goes up must come down...
Yesteday we took a tour of Sector9. Words couldn't describe how much that place rocked. Regardless of the gear they produce, the people there are what rocked most about the tour. (although Ryan, Jerry, and Mike loved the bowl they got to skate in!) They hooked us up with so much gear and we are thankful for that, because we will be needing it! 80% of Sector9's gear is made in the USA and they are all about recycling there from finding alternative wrapping for shirts to recycling crates, they are very conscious. We thought that was pretty sweet too.

Hey guys,
I just saw your trip on Loaded Board website.
I am stoked to see you guys pushing your way across the US. I'm sure you're feeling the pain and the joy of travelling under your own power.
Savour the beauty of that fantastic country of yours. It can be tough work sometimes (I skated across the US over winter 2007/2008), but it's all worth it at the end of the day.
Cheers,
Rob Thomson
