Lil' pit power morning motivation
let's roll…
…to Starbucks…
…and Denny's
Only to eat in the van, tailgate style
Lu's preparation
Roll out those sore spots
Great parks out here in 'Rado
Nice work, builders
Better watch out or your board might get focused
Good homie wearing the imitation T
Pigs in the mud
Mike burns so easily you can smell his skin getting scorched
Lunch
And then some street action
Jared's multi-talented
Bros catching shade
Oh shit, a nice 6
Kicked her out
Denver's hot
Making Blake a little balmy
Let's roll…
…to see what Jared rigs up this time
Don't take my photo!
Seriously! Don't!
The spot's not that way, Jeremy
Follow David
Sinclair's down
Not that easy
Fix this a bit
pretty cool
Still got it!
Until a minor finger injury set back
tryin to stay hydrated
The Yeto van: 228,000 miles and counting
Jared got got
Provost went unscathed
Thanks for the good times, Denver. Time to drive west
