The East Coast transplants in the house headed back east last week to meet some of their old friends and hit the road in the Comet van for this year’s Skatesgiving trip. Our crew consists of Anthony Flis, Ben Dubreuil, Brian Peck, Matt Kienzle, and Pat Schep and we’ll be all over the mountains of the East Coast for the next two weeks. We just left Soldiers of Downhill heading south and are currently working on getting footage of the finals up so check back tomorrow for that. The first Skatesgiving video will be released on Thanksgiving day (November 22) but until then we have some never released photos of last year’s trip to keep you stoked.

Ben Dubreuil is known for getting funky and this photo is no exception- not quite sure what Ben calls this one but we all doubted it was no more than a fluke until he landed it 5 times in a row. Photo by OSL

Pat Schep doing what he does best: falling back on that ass with that hellafied gansta lean. Photo by OSL
Brian, Ben, and Keith hard at lurk in the back of the Comet van… the Christmas lights and American flag are back on this trip but unfortunately Ben forgot his sweet cheetah pants. Photo by OSL

Remember to check back to SkateHouse on Thanksgiving for the first of this year’s Skatesgiving videos!
