News From Osiris

This past Saturday was a very special day. Wanna know why? Cause it was international “Go Skateboarding Day,” and if you didn’t know that, then guess what, you missed out on the best day of the year. I spent the day cruisin’ with Osiris Girls team rider Annie Sullivan and her party posse which included pro surfer Jen Smith, college buds Candace, Gina, and Bri (who is also an awesome photographer). Annie claims that Go Skateboarding Day is the best holiday of the year, yes, even better than Christmas! Crazy! We celebrated by partaking in Sector 9’s Annual Boardwalk Poker Run down in Pacific/Mission Beach in San Diego, CA. It was the first official day of summer and also happened to be the hottest day of the whole year but we managed to stay hydrated and took a couple of dips in the ocean to cool off. Check out the awesome pics c/o miss Bri Burkett and remember that you don’t need a holiday to go skateboard cause every day is go skateboarding day!!

So the final stop of the Journey’s Backyard BBQ was this past weekend in Philly, PA. The East Coast greeted us with some lovely 100+ degree weather, plus the thickest humidity you can imagine on top of that. Despite the sweltering heat, we managed to pack in all THE FUN, including the following activities: volunteering at the Awbury Arboretum, handing out boxes and boxes of Osiris schwag at the King of Prussia Mall, a skate demo featuring team riders Corey Duffel, Shuriken Shannon, Stu Graham, Jimmy Carlin and Annie Sullivan, an FMX air show featuring Osiris riders Ryan Hagy and Derek Garland, a Red Bull skate jam under a freeway, a skate session at the infamous FDR skatepark, a live concert featuring The Roots and Santogold (who is amazing by the way–check her out!), a night of bowling at Philly’s hippest bowling alley called North Bowl, 3 philly cheesesteaks, 1 liberty bell and a partridge in a pear tree. Don’t think we could’ve possibly squeezed all that fun into one weekend? Well you’re right — the partridge thing never happened. But everything else did, check out the pictures below….
