Well, well, well! Life is a trip, no? Much akin to merry-go -round or if you are hip, Romper Room! If you are new on the block, I devoted much of my life to skateboarding and the construction of the Venice skatepark. Let me tell ya, it aint easy! Take a little trip down a concrete and urethane memory lane,man and get ready for more flurries, and left- right sock em up action!

Humanitarian Aid and skateboard Clinic to Mindanao, Philippines.

Posted in politics, travel with tags , , , , , , , on June 13, 2012 by gerilewis001

Hello all, I have been in a remote part of the world, helping with humanitarian aid, teaching and spreading a little good will through the art/sport of skateboarding.  Mindanao the southernmost and a principal island of the Philippines, was devastated by the typhoon Sendong in December of 2011.

I decided to head down there on my own with the support of Sector9 , Arbor, Lightning Bolt, Bulldog Skates, Lost and Cove. My mission is to show that Americans care about others,and our government’s policys do not reflect on most citizens as a whole. In addition I wished to prove that one person can make a difference in many people’s lives.

I will be posting as time and internet access allows. Thanks and God Bless, Ger-I
