Crimson Midwest Tour, Day 13

Crimson Midwest Tour, Day 13

Buddy from Rise set us up with plush hotel accommodations for our stay in Indy. Buddy is one of the founders of Rise and just an all around great guy, who also rips!!! The night before, we got in town late and had dinner with Buddy then he showed us to his hotel. Thanks again for everything Buddy!!!!!

On today's schedule we had a signing at Key Skateboards in Greenwood, IN at 3:00 then a demo in Carmel at 5:00. Kris, Amy and Charlie dog couldn't find a hotel that allowed pets, so the stayed at a friend's (Jacob) house. We all met at Rise around 1:30 and after hanging out for awhile we headed to Key Skateboards. The kids were still getting out of school so we got kids on and off while we were hanging at Key. We were warned that traffic could be pretty bad so, we said our good bye's to the everyone at shop and headed for the demo.

This was the second Rise that we were doing a demo for and again there were tons of kids at the park. The park was a concrete prefab park that was a little slippery but fun. Everyone skated together which made it kind of hard to demo, but in true Markovich form, Kris threw out his big tricks that had the crowd stoked!!!!!!!!

Come back tomorrow for another Crimson update from the road!

Buddy from Rise spent over a year looking for the letters to make this sign.

Rise is one of the best core shops you'll ever go to.
