Phillipp Schuster goes to the West Coast

At about 9am I get a call, "Hey, this is Philipp Shuster, I am in Los Angeles." he pronounces with a very strong Austrian accent.

"Uhhh, thats nice, sound cool." I reply still kinda waking up in bed.

"Can you come get me?" He asks.

Red Bull Rider Philipp Schuster, has never been to the West Coast before. I think he has done a couple layovers at LAX, but never really BEEN or SKATED here.. With hopes to broaden his horizons, he booked his flight to the lovely land of California, where the woman are tan, the skating is plentiful and the police don't like you ever.

As I swing around to LAX, I told him, I wasn't prepared to handle his stay, I was planning on heading up to San Francisco in a couple days.. Then it spawned on me.. "Hey, dude you should come!"

A couple quick calls and we found out that things would be fine, and later on that night we had two tickets to SF courtesy of Red Bull Skateboarding, (thankyou)

- crooks to fakie in San Francisco -

Landing in town, we are picked up by transplant local homie Lee Yankou, who is letting us crash at his place with his misses.

I mean, Phil has never been to the west coast, much less San Francisco, so he is just in a fit, looking around and shooting photos of the city.

With all the city and bridges that surround us, its hard to sometimes concentrate. Zip forward to a local place the 900 bar which was the hangout for most. Couple drinks and we were tickled wandering around the streets looking for San Francisco's "It's-It" icecream bar. (i think that was mainly me, ha)

To be honest nothing overly exicitng happened, we just skated daily, shot some really cool stuff, ate some awesome food, walked around the city and enjoyed what SF had to offer.

I dont wanna bore you with skating details, the photos really tell the story, but if you ever get a chance to head up to Northern California, and want to enjoy yourself, head to San Francisco, and bring your jacket, cause its usually windy.
