Well tomorrow is the Tucson trip. I’m ready. Got all my gear ready and whatnot. I had a good talk with Holden (the organizer) on Discord the other night about judging, so we are all on the same page with that. I think the judging system and structure of the contest is going to be really good. He’s done a fantastic job lining up judges ahead of time, unlike so many skate contests where it a last minute thing. If you are going to run a contest, you owe it to the people who show up to take that shit seriously and have some reasoning behind things. No one should spend their time and money travelling to a contest and feel like they’ve been fucked over by the results. Well – someone who is just stupid or unreasonable may always feel that way, but reasonable people should leave feeling like they’ve gotten a fair shake. I take my judging very seriously.

I’m sure I’ll be blogging and podcasting this thing from the road. I love doing that.

Hoping the air travel problems of the last couple of days are sorted. Amazing how years of disinvestment in public infractructure is now causing all sorts of system in the country to start failing. Who would have expected that?
