Seattle Trip

Oh my, where to start?
Seattle trip.
Well, pretty much everyone apart of BFC in North Idaho set out a few weekends ago to Seattle to minister (good word choice), skate, fellowship, initiate, throw sandwiches, laxitate food, give props, robo, climb buildings, buy people food, pray, and have a good time.

Didn't get the greatest pictures, but enough to give you a glimpse of the wonders of this trip.


Josh Montieth, getting ready to leave the barn at approximately 12 o'clock.


Josh Tyvan, action spy shot (to explain the blur)


My friend Jake Schmidt and his key, you can call him Tobe Awesome.



Probably the most stoked I have been in a car since the test flights of the Portland trip.
Yes, it says "The Homeschool Book Shop"


Tunnels of Seattle are known to drive people insane.


Josh Tyvan, that's just the way he is...
When we got to Seattle we went right to the ocean to get our sea legs, and to bbq with the Seattle guys, Jake climbed trees with Sky (Jakes twin), watch fire dancers, hop on rocks, search for crabs, and have a good time.


Demo day... It was raining early on, so they set up a big tent, very neat.
Luckily, God is good, and He answers prayer, this time in form of making the only blue sky I saw while in Seattle.


The boys setting up, it took us way longer than we should've due to paint number confusion.



Mario! Workin' hard. Good man.



Yeahp.



Aaron is now the official mic tester for Stellarkart! 



The booth.



Probably the best photo out of the bunch, I must give credit to Jakob Schmidt.
The demo was rad, went really well, we had some good times that night and in the morning we started the day off right with some coffee.



Josh Montieth again, good man.


I don't know why, but I really like this picture, I find it almost humorous.



Jake, trapped in the seventies.


After coffee we went down to Oceanside park and spent the whole day there.
Aaron got a surprise in his burger (:



Noel and Josh
(:



They call him Noel Riske for a reason.


Kyle and Josh.
Good times with Chris's 10mm.



Oceanside park.
Forgive my finger, I was new to this wide angle business.



Zack Black.



...



Told you so.



Mike Miller, killin' it to the layback.



J-Ball




Adam, the Robo-King.



Noel and Sham.
Good times at Oceanside, we were there for four or five hours, then went to eat pizza and give props for the entire night. 

Props to Greg Foeller for propin'.

That night everyone left but Josh Tyvan, Josh Montieth, Zach Black, Jesse Mayes, and me.
And how could it be a trip without a late night adventure?
I will leave it at that...



Bellvue park, Josh, Josh, Zack and me.
Good times.



Sketchy-neato panorama of the car ride back.
Record from Seattle to Spokane: three hours and fourty-five minutes.

If you were to ask me the best part of the trip... I would say seeing God move through everyone.

Thanks to everybody.

A little fun with panoramas.

Well I was just skating downtown and decided to try some panorama action.
Didn't get the effect I was going for but I like it anyways.

Missoula Trip

Last weekend we made another unofficial BFC trip, this time to Missoula.
We mainly skated the park, which was so fun that I took no pictures, sorry. You will have to do with these.

We started at the park and skated until we got hungry. After eating we went to the college campus and had some fun (:

Johnny Helgren
(I feel I need to note that he didn't land it, but he probably could've if he tried)
(He only tried twice)


Josh Tyvan
"Hey Joey are you getting sequencials?" - Timothy Darlington
"I guess I'll try." - Me


Jesse Ozol
My bro, killin' it.


The buildings were rad, and the campus was beautiful.


Jesse Mayes, Josh Tyvan (model caught not posing), Noel Riske


Noel, great man, I am blessed to have him in my life


Zach Black, Jesse Ozol
Sidewalk surfin'


Another rad building.
Ha, I thought it was funny that it happened to be the journalism building.


Johnny Helgren


Yeah bro! Woo!

After this we went back to the park for a good couple of hours.
Then we decided to go walk through town before we left.
It was just fun being with everyone.
My brother asked a lady where Diagon alley was, she couldn't recall anything of that name.
Before leaving everyone went to Johnny's car while Noel and I went back to the suburban a block away. We waited for quite a while watching cop cars pull people over. When we saw one loop and turn on the street where they were I joked around saying that they were going to get the guys. Five minutes later Zack called Noel telling them they were sitting  on a curb being questioned by the cops.
haha


Noel on the secret mission that we went out on to take pictures of them.



The only time you'll catch me wishin' I had a telephoto lens.
Funny looking back on it that there was a sign that said first security bank right next to the fire escape they were climbing.


Jesse celebrating, everyone having a good time except the cop in the far back.
It's always nice when cops are nice and let you do adventurous things without tickets (:



Couldn't decide which one I wanted to post of these last two.
We left, stopped at the 50,000 silver dollar store and played with toys and knives, and made it home. 
Fun times, can't wait for the next trip.

So yesterday was my last day snowboarding for the season, and it was nice.
I didn't take any pictures, but I decided to post all the snowboarding pictures that you probably haven't seen yet.
So here you go.
