well i suppose i'll start with an introduction. im that guy who was a dick to everyone in high school. then when i finally grew up i stopped being that guy, but i still have the reputation of being that guy anyway. maybe that was the initial spark in my head that started all of this. i figured id do something so "out there" that id never get people telling me who i was or what i was capable of again. My names Tristan Storey Lock, and im a longboarder. My plan, as you will see in the months that follow, is to go 5000 plus miles from the east coast to the west, and all over in between. imagine the ultimate road trip. now imagine it green. not like the color green, like environmentally clean green. I already use my old board to get around the norfolk (VA) and washington DC areas, why not go a little further. i started skating in March 2009, borrowing this guys floppy sector 9 and fell in love with longboarding. Since then ive lost 60 lbs and gotten really excited about longboarding, fitness, and going green. But this is about more than skating and being environmentally conscious. i want to get everyone together here and make an affort to fund multiple sclerosis research. anything that doesnt pay for me and my support team to get across the states will go to multiple sclerosis funds across the country. starting at the end of february, ill be leaving VA Beach and headed northwest. through DC, pittsburg, and a few other spots on my way to michigan. then southbound through many cool places like memphis and so on, until i get to New Orleans. then northwest to Colorado, west to Las Vegas, south east to phoenix, west to san diego, and then north to finish in redding california. ill give you more details about the trip in the next few days. right now the road just dried up and i need to go skate. take care all
