dawn patrol on judgement day

Date Line: May 21 2011
                 6:15 am
                 Upjohn Skate Park, Kalamazoo....Michigan

 Fun Til Death often includes being on Dawn Patrol.  If you can get up, get out, do your thing and get back before the children awaken fun can be had.  In the winter this includes it being really cold before day break and skiing between shadows. In the late spring, it means a welcoming sun.  Considerably more fun can be had in a shorter period of time if you don't have to wait for runs, and of course in the winter it means the feathery powder of the morning.
If you would like to see a great video of folks staking kalamazoo see: this video

All in all my skating was not particularly good. felt like i was flailing quite a bit. Even my burt slides were kinda weak.

Below are pics from dawn patrol this morning.

If you really eat shit, you could limp over to Bronson Hospitial

buttery smooth concrete..the metal transitions are great when the work, and a little scary when they start to  peal up .
