As we are about to get into full blown winter coming up before we know it. There was an idea floating around that it would be a good time to have one last RV trip. However this one was much different than all the others. There will be no snowboarding going down. No video premiers. Some fun skateboarding, and on the way there have very loose plans about getting up to San Francisco. Oh, and we did a bit of partying too. Hence the name, The Let Loose Tour. The trip started out in Carlsbad where we headed up North with Cody Rosenthal, Mike Casanova, Elliott Levitt and myself. Then we made a random spot in Ventura to Meet up with Harrison Gordon, where we convinced him to jump in for the party on wheels. Our first official stop for the night was in San Luis Obispo to meet up with Luke Mitrani, Josh Warnick, Matt Hooper and more for a party we were throwing with some of the kids that go to school at Cal Poly. Stocked up with a few kegs and the finest plastic bottled handles, keeping it real classy. Thanks to everyone from Cal Poly snowboard and ski club people for helping us with a good time and setting up a house for us to rage at.  Great times.

The next morning started a little late but we had made our way up to San Francisco for what we were getting there for. A three day bluegrass festival taking place at Golden Gate Park with six stages and great tunes blaring throughout the whole park. Again there we would meet up with many more of the homies that cruised out from Tahoe with Danny Davis. Making our entourage of party animals a much larger herd for great times with great people. Let loose.

- Pretty much the whole drive up there were views like this. Not too shabby (P: Joe)

- If you have seen many of the other stories about our travels in the RV you would probably know by now this is pretty standard

- Making our stop for the night in SLO. I think Nova ran down there and tried to wrestle some of these things. (P: Cody)

- Not too pumped(P: Cody)

- Harrison Garfield

- It would probably be no big deal for this bird to peck your eyes out.

- Just hanging out

- This guy was chill. Letting me get really close

- Finally getting some skating in. Harrison locking into a backside nosegrind

- Time for a dip

- Luke is down

- Now the night begins

- Rollin Up

- Since we are at a college party it’s only appropriate to have some keg stands right off the bat

- Josh Warnick

- Getting off with some product

- Squid cutting up some rug

- Elliott starting out the first night in SF

- Teamwork shot (P: Elliot)

- Not exactly a trolley that you expect in San Fran, but the bus is cheap

- The buses in SF are really big, so if you want to drink beers, you just have to go to the back. Amazing

- Parking a big RV in a city is not always the easiest thing. So I parked it in the back of a funeral home when we were in a sketchy part of town

- Lots of awesome music

- Too damn drunk to remember who this was, but they were pretty sick

- Danny Davis having an awesome time

- Partying

- Nice gear Luke (P:Cody)
