North Dakotuh!

The boys left Minnesota and headed to Winnipeg via North Dakota for a little skating and relaxing and our field reporter Sam McGuire checked in with photos and an update.

Hey Guys,

Things have been pretty awesome. Davis and I drove up from Minneapolis to Fargo, ND. The park here is one of the funnest parks I've ever skated. Surrounded by awesome three-foot quarter pipes and, well, it's in Fargo so that's always pretty sweet. Then we picked up our friend Chris Anderson up in Grand Forks, ND and headed out. Mikey got in at around 10 or so and they lost all his luggage somewhere in Denver and when he asked them where it was the lady sort of looked at him funny and said, "Well, you weren't checked into your flight so they kept your luggage." Strange he wasn't checked in but somehow arrived at the flight. Tyler got in today too... after some delays as well so, the whole camp is here... things are good and kids are hyped.

So we just kind of went out to some weird bars, woke up pretty late the next morning and headed to this skatepark on the south end of Winnipeg. We all dorked around and had some fun. The local kids had a contest where they hold their boards up as long as they can, which is always pretty funny. We headed back to the hotel, chilled, went to a barbecue and are headed to this really picturesque skatepark about three hours west in Ontario right on this awesome lake. It should be pretty fun. That's about it...
