Made In China pt. 3 (Shanghai sub-trip)

sup cowboys. tripp and i have been in shanghai for the past two days. taking two 11 hour train rides. skating the world's biggest skatepark. being ignored and treated like a beggar in downtown shanghai by every single westerner ( white people) saw a bunch of funny people. got even funnier videos. here's some pictures, i'll make a full video once i get back to the states. and you'll just have to wait for it.


















this may not look like much, but like i said, i took more videos than i did pictures, so just sit tight until i get all of those organized and put together, so you can see the real experience.

last couple of days without pictures

don't have any pictures cause pat has his camera and i don't. pat's first night we drank beer ate food and then watched tv. while pat played piano i danced behind him ballerina style until he saw me then i ran away. then we killed people and got chased by the cops. then we skated on the mega ramp and i jumped from the top n landed the 100 foot drop. pat was there. he backflipped into the bank before the leap. then the next day we  rode around and skated the black banks. it was cool shit. we watched chinese people be crazy and then did other stuff i don't remember. there might be another day between then and our leaving to shanghai but who knows. we got on the train and listened to every single person's ringtone when they left it playing even though someone was calling their phone. pat got woken up by a man singing to his own ringtone at 4 in the morning. got to shanghai, took the subway to the world's biggest skatepark and it was amazing. before shredding we both took sweet poops and then started the day around 9:30. everything's super huge there and possibly impossible to skate, some of it. but it was sick nonetheless. then we stressed out for 3 hours while trying to get to where we were staying. went to cars, scoped for babes, found none, went to sleep, skated the next day some more even though we were dead. went to 2 spots featured in skate mags and videos, it was cool. then a chinese man sung to us. patrick's got the footage. now we're gonna go to the black market and buy a live grenade.

Made In China pt. 1

one drawring i did.
our wing was leaking fuel. firetrucks, sand, and delayed an extra 4 hours.
rain made all the workers go inside, forcing our delay.
flying over the north pole, or close to it.


flying over china.
made it to the beijing airport finally.

Ayo......wassup. its 6:17am right now and im hanging out in tripp's bedroom. but he's asleep. i made itt here last night around 5:30 after my gay ass trip...now im gonna tell you about it...

1am - went to sleep

3am - woke up to get ready

got to the roanoke airport, got my bags checked. i used the same backpack for the trip as the one from school and i missed getting out a 2" razorblade from one of the side pockets. guy took it out, loooked at me, said "can;t go on the plane" i thought he meant me, but just the blade. cool yea?

-flew from roanoke to washington DC, had a 5 hour layover where i just kinda hung around the airport.
i drew a lot. realized that i started hating chinese people before i even got to china. we got on our plane, but i looked out the window and saw that the wing was leaking gallons of fuel.

-everyone had to get off the plane and i sat in the airport until about 4:30......making that a total of 9 and a half hours of sitting in the airport with hundreds of chinese babies being assholes running around me.

- the flight itself had so much turbulance that people wouldve been thrown out of their seats if not for the seatbelts. i hated it. watched golden compass and war dance on the flight.

- got to china around 5pm instead of the original time 1pm i shouldve been there. met up with tripp. took a taxi to his apartment. ate a burrito and drank some beer at a place. looked at his abe lincoln graffiti. bought $1 dvds for movies that are currently playing in the US.

i think a bunch more things happend..... ill upload pics tomorrow on my laptop to this post. if it lets me. gonna go skate now. bye.
