After some last minute cancelations and additions to our crew we drove through the night and arrived in San Carlos at 7:30 in the morning. We got a couple hours of sleep and headed straight over to the Apache Skateblast event.
The contest and demo was held at the local skatepark.
A few of the local girls who came out to skate and cheer on their friends.
Thanks to Leticia's sponsors Foundation, Bones, Osiris and Volcom for hooking it up...the kids appreciated everything.
Our friend Razelle from Apache Skateboards was there filming as well.
Abisha signing autographs after the demo.
A dirt, charcoal and water war broke out between Leticia and Abisha.
Who won?
Our host Douglas Miles invited us to his Mom's restaurant for some traditional Apache food after the event. The fry bread was delicious...thank you!
After everyone ate, a session started on the rail in front of the restaurant. It was high with a sketchy cracked cement/dirt landing, but that didn't stop Abisha from handling bussiness in the dark.
After skating one last spot Monique and I were entertained with "Square Pants" impersonations and other antics that kept me from getting a good nights sleep back at the hotel.

Yeah, sorry for lagging on the update! It has taken me almost a week to recover from the lack of sleep and all the video footage I need to go through. Day 2 update will be up soon.
