Being on the road with the Pizza crew is quite the experience. You have a bar back, an Uber driver, a business major—accompanied by several already accomplished scholars—an en route correctional officer and a couple full-time skateboarders. Luckily, everyone has the same agenda: get the hell out of Dodge and ride skateboards. Five states in 12 days was a task that required everyone to keep it eight more than 92 in a tightly-packed van spending every waking moment together. Luckily, the Pizza dudes are a tight niche. —Kyle Duval

Ryan Martin gets the legs going with a switch 180 to start off the trip

We got to this school as the sun was going down. Ducky Kovacs wasted no time putting together a few clips on this waist-high bar. Back 5-0

Ducky, crooks

The giant location pin we stole from a car dealership naturally turned into the new soccer ball for morning hype
    

I’m not sure if Ducky is going through a Billy Idol phase or what. Anyways, here he snakes through a boardslide

Bryan Whalen, aka RB, aka Big Red, aka my occasional Uber driver is a wizard on the board.  Wait until you see some of the lines he put together. Nollie noseslide

We spotted this bar to bank from the highway and Jesse Vieira’s wheels started spinning.  Noseslide yank over

These guys might read the Bible. Footy check in AZ

Next up was TX. Ducky, feeble tail grab in the brisk town of El Paso

Dirty Joe and Diego from El Paso took us around for a few days and showed us this virgin hubba. A little TLC and some truck rubs later and Andrew Dellas rolled away from this 5-0

We made a bet and told Ducky we'd buy him a lap dance if he landed this Smith grind. Needless to say, everything is bigger in Texas. Right, Ducky?
 

RB, switch ollie

Ducky, fastplant

No matter how many times I see this, it still blows my mind.  Michael Pulizzi, kickflip hippy jump

Quick stop at the ol’ Grand Canyon

Jesse, feeble transfer

In skateboarding, sometimes getting lost can be a blessing. After a few boardslide attempts, Ducky switched it up and back 50-50d this beast first go

Ducky, ollie over to frontside Smith

The cops gave us five minutes to skate this spot and Ducky fired off three tricks in our allotted time. This ollie over to back Smith was a rad one to witness
