This is going back a ways...It's kinda hard to remember when this would have actually taken place. Maybe sometime in June? Maybe May? A lot has happened since...anyways, Nikki Gerard Ladies and Gentlemen.

well, since leaving california, which seems like ages ago, adam and I drove south through baja, over to mainland from la paz to Topolobampo, on down the coast through mazatlan, and eventually to Miramar, right next to santa cruz. we hung out at El Encanto with Jim for about 10 days, Teresa visited, on to Guadalajara, and then south from PV to Barre. Waves are small but fun and yesterday I found

And after a few days with him you would believe it too.

waiting on suspension sucks. especially in nowhere ventura. but when it does come its gonna be sick! We drove down the 1 from santa cruz through monterey, big sur, another stop in santa maria, and down to ventura. wicked scenery throughout. good drive. truck running fine. for the most part. as always. traveling as a caravan of bike and truck is fun. we get even more looks it seems. got hassled by

awww you stud... i miss you already.There are experiences during this drive that give me a feeling of complete freedom and awesomeness. Like when I start my truck. Rousting the beast.Its probably one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. Having bought it without a running engine and fixed everything on it myself, which is no small feat (I think at least) for having

I was kinda getting over San Diego. I mean, Southern California is great. No doubt about it... but eventually the number of people around (especially in the water) and terrible air quality do get to you and it leaves you missing the pacific northwest. so me and stan hopped a plane north to his hometown of Gig Harbor. The whole reason was to drive his '73 (?) VW bus down the 5 down to San Clemente

-having trouble loading videos, will put up as soon as we feel like it.-So we've left Ocean Beach San Diego.  Surfed once, skated a lot, and I might like to add that I, Nikki, for thee first time ever successfully dropped into OB skate park bowl four consecutive times at about 3 in the morning with a few alcoholic beverages in my system and with a little help from some killer skaters who were

The Collective known as Savage Quest has claimed another victim.A wonderful girl by the name of Nikki Girard has joined our wonderings. She's on her way back north from a few months in Guatemala and she is gnarly. Case in point: Hitch hiked through Tijuana to Ocean Beach dodging swine flu, creepy mexican men, and the drug cartel. It is nice to have someone to skate with. No, it is nice to have

I'm standing there looking at my bagel trying to figure out how I'm gonna get this thing open without a knife. Up walks Brian, the first person to speak to me since I snuck into the Point Loma Caf for some food. We get to talking and he invites on what sounds like a pretty epic hike. 10 000 Vertical feet28 Miles.The Cactus to Cloud route of San Jacinto.Pulled into Palm Springs around 11 pm. Slept

Chilling in newport with james has been like a fantasy. seriously. James is someone who when you ask for a bowl of ice cream he not only falls over himself to get you one but also apologizes and feels bad that he hadn't already offered you a bowl. He seriously lives out Mi Casa tu Casa. Needless to say he has hooked us up. 2 surfboards, 2 surfboard bags (one of those huge coffins. stoked.), 2

We left Vancouver April 5, 2 days after my 21st birthday. It had been exactly one year, four months and 7 days since the seed had been planted. The mission I had taken on. Drive to Tierra del Fuego. Right. A year later and the only plan I had was to head south. Destination Unknown.Irrelevant. Head south. Live out of the Landcruiser and head down the coast. Surf, Skate, Live, Love. basically.
