The board is your vehicle...

Even though most of us who started this life force known as NC Skate have graduated, the spirit still lives on. It has taken on various forms. Locally, the skate culture is constantly adapting and growing. On campus, the impacts of NC Skate have paved the way for skateboarding to thrive. 
For me it is the mindset of exploration by way of the skateboard. Like clockwork, every few months I get fed up with the everyday life and call in a good 'ol NC Skate vacation. Trips with homies never get old. Everybody needs that escape; that time to refresh. It's good to know that 7 years later the whole crew is still down to take it back to the roots of where it all started and hit the road. Only now with means to travel a little farther (there are some benefits to working a 9-to-5 if you play your cards right).
Here's a little edit from a skate vacation to Tokyo, Japan. Some photos can be found here. The board is your vehicle.
