The Road to Houston in The Boardr Bus

Published 2/13/2015 by Rob Meronek

We've got a nice mix of nerds, media types, microphone personality, shredders, bid'niss dudes, and workhorses. One thing we all have in common: we're all skateboarders. And now after Jorge played it, we all have hate for this Beck dude in common. Whatever Beck is, he/she/it sucks. Anyway, it's been a damn good time. Along the way, we hit some tiny towns, large towns, and medium towns. I've got a few photos from our adventure to Houston. We're here for the second stop of The Boardr Am. Check out the list of who is skating in the Qualifiers here.

Early Morning on the Boardr Bus

Early morning on site at The Boardr Headquarters in Tampa, we're putting together a quick kickoff clip for Insta.

The Boardr Bus Out Front

Soon, the senior citizen tribal will be gone from the RV after we brand it up.

Odd Skateboard Statue

Our first stop is somewhere in North Florida at a tiny town with an odd skateboard statue.

Milton Skate Park with Joe

The town is Milton and they're getting in Joe's b-roll.

Jake Rock and Roll the Vert Wall

540 Jake goes straight to the big stuff and/or vert.

540 Jake Signature 540

I did a cartwheel while shooting this sequence of 540 Jake. We're both spinnin out of control.

Tyler Frontside Flips in Milton

Tyler's with us on this one.

Tyler Frontside Nosegrinds in Milton

Tyler, frontside nosegrind.

Casey Drives Barefoot

Casey drives barefoot and skates barefoot, at least at stops like this one in the sticks.

Casey Kickflip on the Spine

When the flick comes out, the shoes have to come out, too.

Boardr Bus Into the Sunset

Now it's off into the sunset headed west.

New Orleans Neighborhood Truck

We have arrived in Nawlins.

New Orleans Neighborhood Home

The homes have style here.

Paris and Pleasure in New Orleans

On the corner of Paris and Pleasure is one fine DIY skateboarding project.

Mini-Ramp at Parisite

You know there are old skateboarders participating in the DIY work when there's a mini-ramp at the spot.

Curb Snake at Parisite

Parking blocks are everywhere, good and greased up, including wacky ones like this slappy snake.

Body on a Front Rock at Parisite

We were immediately attracted to the super tight quarter. Body warms up with a front rock on it.

Hurricane Body in New Orleans

Should you be doing hurricanes in New Orleans? Body's got a good one.

Joe Films at Parisite

Watch for Joe's work to show up on ABC's World of X as he puts together a one hour show about all six stops of The Boardr Am leading up to The Boardr Am Finals at X Games Austin.

Relaxing Between Tricks

Relaxing between tricks.

Upledge at Parisite

The stuff under this bridge goes on forever it seems.

Cleanup at Parisite

There seems to be a nice sense of community here.

Red Bull at Parisite

Apparently Red Bull came and hooked up the spot with a legit portion of the bridge here. Thanks!

Parking Block Spine at Parisite

A parking block spine is always a fun one.

Ty Tarzetti at Parisite

We met Parisite local Ty skating here who happens to be skating The Boardr Am at Houston. See you there, Ty!

Jake Ollies at Baton Rouge Banks

We packed up and hit the road and are now at the Baton Rouge Banks where we expected 540 Jake to, well, 540 it. You don't get much time here. Frontside ollies to start.

Jereme Ollies at Baton Rouge Banks

Jereme's got a backside snap.

Jake at the Baton Rouge Banks

Doesn't look like the 540 is going to work, so maybe go for a drop in.

Jake Drops in at the Baton Rouge Banks

Just a few tries in, he's got his ode to Rattray done.

Tyler Hunger at the Baton Rouge Banks

Security isn't giving Tyler a bump.

Fat Kid Rock at the Baton Rouge Banks

Thick Kid Rock filmed it from the sidelines and has to show us all how awesome it is.

Boardr Boys in Baton Rouge

Now we're on the Ol' Miss feeling fab and oozing glam.

Clint Walker Rail in Baton Rouge

We all can't believe Clint Walker right now.

Baton Rouge City Lurk

Baton Rouge seems like a nice little town.

Baton Rouge Barrier Ollie

Tyler with a quick barrier hop while we wait for Jorge. What's Jorge doing?

Fifteen Dollar Douchebag Drinks in Baton Rouge

Oh there he is, getting $15 drinks at noon.

Boardr Boys Bus Lounging

Get back in the bus, boys, let's go to Houston. See you at Southside for the second stop of The Boardr Am.

A Florida Road Trip to the East Coast

This past weekend, Porpe, Clem, and I took a road trip to the East Coast of Florida to bring Sean Malto, Matt Miller, Brad Cromer, and Steve-O to surprise our friend Jacob at his bar mitzvah. We skated, hung out at the party, and got some other business done while we were in town. Thanks Jacob and family for having us as part of your weekend. We had a great time. Maybe The Boardr should start doing celebrity birthday parties, too? I've got a camera dump here.
