<title>Broke down in vw bus</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Aaron Campbell and I, circa 1991, driving back from Toronto.  Flat tire in some highland desert like corner of Wyoming.  Couldn't budge the lugnuts, literally bent 2 tire irons and the wheel was spinning under pressure, despite NOT BEING ON A JACK!  We piled all out luggage in the front of the bus and had one another sit in the driver's seat in an attempt to offset this weight issue, no luck.  We decided to hitch it back many miles to some town.  The minivan family that stopped would only let one of us in (cautious).  When he got back with a can of WD-40 he told me of his adventures trying to catch road wandering cattle, to ride one, because there were NO CARS COMING.  After many hours of waiting, a park/forest ranger type guy came along, and called us a tow truck from over 100 miles away.  What a day.  Oh yeah, the tire shop said that the wheel had been mounted so tight with an air compressor that no human would really have ever been able to get that thing off. great.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/626">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Took a bus to Brighton with Betsy on a whim, walked around, rocked the little skatepark, scoped the historical photos of the Mods vs. the Rockers, then we strolled off down the beach to find a place to crash for the night.  Found a small but energetic rave, fell asleep on the really uncomfy stones of this British beach.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/37227">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Moosejaw, Saskatchewan, Tundra, Vert ramp</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        In the late 80's a group of skaters from Portland travelled to a small town outside of Moosejaw to ride a vert ramp in a giant church jam packed with young rural canadian teenagers.  There were indoor fireworks.  Lance Mountain was also there, skating.  Most of the guys weren't really vert skaters, in fact, they were pretty much terrible, in fact I was one of them.  Some of us, the good vert skaters, had injured themselves during practice.  The rest of us tried our best not to bail while doing rock&rolls, fakie popouts, little mini ollie nosegrinds, and ollies not quite out of the top.  The crowd just kept cheering 'mctwist, mctwist, mctwist'.  We just let Lance do his thing.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/41280">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        A friend was going out of town for a while, she let me occupy her flat.  Just spent the time skateboarding around, tattooed a few people i'd meet, eating bread, cheese, olives and grapefruit juice nonstop.  It was summer and humid.  She had a bike I used as well, long distance adventures, getting super lost.  Nights were particularly spectacular, sitting on the canal, musicians, lovers and dealers all taking advantage of the warm air.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/41918">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Practical Joke on tourists</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        I went through a big 'rock balancing' phase many years ago, and during that phase I was traveling around Mexico.  Finding myself at a far off edge of the ruins in Tulum, I balanced up a few big stones, then realized they looked very 'in place' here, that they almost looked like they had been there for a long time.  

So, I backed off to a hidden spot and watched several groups of tourists come and stare at the pile, stand in front of it, take photos in front of it etc.  

Then one poor old guy thought he'd see how stable this thing was, how it had survived over time, his finger slowly reached out and the moment he made even light contact, the precarious balance was upset and the whole pile toppled into a dust cloud faster than anyone could blink.  The man and his group looked nervously all around for the approaching federales, but only saw me, squatting 100 yards away covering my laugh with a dusty hand.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/1140564">Map this on Platial</a><br />
