Brad's Trip

Here's some info about the event that Brad and I will be attending this weekend. It should be a blast for skateboard fans.

Well, it looks like this blog post is lost to history. The post relied on an external link from 2004 that is no longer active—who saw that coming? I'll try to fill in below.

Brad entered and won a skate shoe design contest sponsored by Etnies and PacSun. The trip was valued at $3,500! He won a trip to California where he was presented with nine pairs of skate shoes of his own design. With the wisdom I've gleaned since, I realize we should have asked for nine pairs of steadily increasing size to accomodate a 13 year old's growth pattern. Regardless, it was a really fun trip.

He was supposed to hang out with Mike Vallely during the trip, but something went wrong. That led to another good day when Mike stepped up and came to Jacktown.
