San Francisco

So I went for a trip to San Francisco last week. Packed my bags, locked my apartment and said goodbye to my adopted home of whistler.

Waiting in the line to check my bag at Vancouver airport wondering if this was gonna be a trip to remember or one to forget, bang! managed to get my skate board on the plane for free, "going well so far" I thought. Then got bumped up to a exit seat on the second flight out of SLC, "leg room, two in a row!".

On arrival I went to the bank to get money out to last the trip, I punched $400 into the machine and twentys started poring out, then all of a sudden two Benji's appeared, Id got $560 for no extra cost. It was then I knew for sure this was going to be a classic trip.

On one of the first days there I was walking down the street a little lost, next thing I look up and there it was the ledgendary gold rail down the 30 step at the Hyatt hotel that John Cardiel 5050'd. Seeing this in real life gave me goose bumps, its even more gnarlier up close to what it looks like on video. My first day in town and to see such an iconic spot, I was pumped!

San fran has everything you could want great skating, shopping, good parties, great food and even surf if your keen enough.

Lucky, fun and very different to anywhere else ive been sum up my SF experience and if you get a chance head there and heck it out and don't forget to bomb a hill.

I finally got a new camera on the trip, a Casio Fh100, it has some pretty cool features with sequence shots up to 40fps and slowmotion video up to 1000fps so much of the trip was spent checking out the sites and playing with my new toy. Here are a few of the images I shot
