On that note, there are definitely some cool things in the world of longboarding. Let’s start off with my boy Reid’s longboard trip across the US for charity! Here’s a little info he sent me. They are raising a lot of money and they need all the donations they can get. What a great cause!

We will be longboarding from Murphy, in the mountains, to Manteo, at the coast, for a total of 700+ miles. The trip will take about 2 and a half weeks depending on our if we can keep a 50 mile a day pace. We are doing it for charity: water. Charity: water is a 100% non-profit organization raising money to drill wells and provide clean drinking water for people in Africa. $5,000 funds an entire water project that provides an entire village, of about 250 people, clean drinking water. God has laid the number $10,000 on my heart to raise so that is our goal. In doing so we can help make in difference in 500 peoples lives. To help kick off the trip we will be holding a DH race and Slide/Jam Session in Asheville. There whereabouts and details of that are not yet ironed out, but once we set firm dates for when to start the trip that will be taken care of. To donate go to http://mycharitywater.org/longboardacrossnorthcarolina and to anyone interested in the trip they can go to the group page I made: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_126420644094552&ap=1 Thanks for helping to promote this and once I get some more firm details about when the trip will start and about the slide/jam/race I will let you know. That kick off event will hopefully be big and I need it to be so I really appreciate you promoting all of this because I know that you will help to make a difference with all of this.
