Georgia part 2
So in the second half of our journey through Georgia we skated into Atlanta to find the famous Woodys Halfpipe Boardshop. Upon arriving we recieved a warm welcome from John, the owner and proprietor of the shop. After buying new trucks and bearings and so forth he had one of his employees drive us around the corner to the motel 6 where we decided to stay for the night so we could get used to our new setups. We got to meet and ride around with some of the local longboarders (apparently there's a huge longboard scene in the ATL) and we caught some pics that'll be up here soon. The next morning we went back to woodys and Josh ended up trading his loaded for a sick new earthwing supermodel and John decided to give us free shoes because he liked what we are doing. The guys at the shop told us about the Silver Comet Trail, which is a bike/pedestrian/skate trail that goes through the mountains from Atlanta to the Alabama border. We safely made it out of Georgia and are now in piedmont Alabama resting up by some cool springs. Anyway, the batteries are dying so I gotta run. Y'all tame care
