EXPEDITION SEATTLE TO VANCOUVER DAY 3

Sunday began with another super fun session at the brand new bellevue plaza. Being today it was our last day in Seattle, we had to hit it one last time.  After that Josh Anderson from manik skateboards took us to the University of Washington for the day. Picture a huge courtyard with tonnes and tonnes of smooth brick flat, 4 perfect manny pads and girls etc. needles to say, things went well, everyone got tricks before the cops showed up and we had to go for a little run around the block.

Everyone warming up on some of the smoothest brick you could imagine

We all ended up at this new spot in Seattle before the university. Most of just chilled, while some worked on the ledges a bit, and Freddy a dude from florida that we have been skating with ollied a super gnarly gap here.

After the long day, we finally got back on the road headed for Vancouver. Being as Canadian as we are, Spencer and Dustin just had to get a couple more tall cans and a 12 pack that cost less than the fast food we had after. Needless to say we were glad we did this as the Expedition team got stuck in the border and hauled in. So what do we do, head to the nearest parking lot to have a couple of these cold cheap beverages while we waited for them to clear customs. Unfortunately Eric, the filmer, wasn't being allowed into the country and had to be sent home. Everyone felt super bad about that, but what do you do when you gotta get shit done.
Everyone finally got these guys into their hotel rooms by 2:30 in the morning.
Longest day so far.
check back to see what happens throughout the rest of the week before the "Skate with the Expedition team at the plaza" happens.
