Wellll we have been in Newport Beach for about a week now, and loving it! Had some wicked session at the Dirt Jumps already, the boys there are so cool, remembering us from when we were here 2 years ago. Been hanging with K. Strait a fair bit, he has been driving us around because we had no car, but fear not we have a new Raper Van now, (not as bad as it sounds!)
The first day we rode Dirt jumps, me and Dan were riding home that night into the sunset, along the path by the Ocean, it was so amazing, we were so excited to be there, felt so lucky to be able to ride dirt jumps and then just roll home, wowzaa, pretty damn happy!
Ive been for a couple rode rides, the first one was pretty late and it was getting on to a lovely sunset, i was singing as loud as i could, riding along beside the Sea, the sun setting, people rollerblading and running, it was so good for the heart! I got home and whipped my shoes and helmet off and jumped into the sea, it was LOVELY! swimming about in all the big waves with the surfers surfing so close, they all asked if i was crazy cos they all had wesuits on, more like they are just too soft! it was like a bath compared to N. Wales!

Me and Dan were getting lunch on the pier one day and it was pretty busy with people just chilling, there was this one guy with a little boy with him, the kid must have been so young, he was still in nappies for crying out loud! Anyway, this kid was decked out in a little shirt and jeans, and a 59/50 hat, cool as you like, he was sat one leg under him on his Skateboard absolutely pinning it around, loving it! it was so funny, his little leg going hell for leather pushing him around, clinging on with his hands, everyone was going ”ahhh” and ”ohhh” and taking photos!

Clay is here right now for a few days, he is getting on the dirt jumps too, loving it! We got home last night and decided to do a home meltdown…mainly based around pushups and situps where you high five each other in between! very american and very hard!

Oh and we have acquired a cat, his name is buttons and he is so furry he would rival nancy! he has his belly shaved to keep him cool, a rammed up face with a pokey out tongue, and he lives across the street but chills in our house all the time! Pretty nice seeing as we miss our cats alot.

Off for a lancearmstrong now….see ya….
