Spring Break Yo'Self 2007 Chill Time

US Airways simply says, "Sorry, we are not responsible" and sends you on your way. When I called the Tampa Airport Police, they asked me to come in an file a police report. When I went to the airport, they then told me I need to do this in San Diego, not Tampa. Whatever. I got a new cord for the chill cam on the way home so at least there are some lurk shots: Spring Break Yo'Self 2007 Chill Time.
Spring Break Yo'Self Story
Posted by Rob on
Mon,
Apr

9:34 AM
I took skate photos this weekend, I swear. No one’s going to see them because you can now add me to the long list of photo dudes that have had
their gear ripped off. When I got home and unpacked my bag, I found only the key items of photography missing like a fellow photographer took a
shopping spree through my dirty laundry and went straight to the good stuff. A few days earlier on the site, I had mentioned that I had to put all my gear into my checked bag because I’m
unable to carry a backpack due to a crazy rib injury last week. So is a thief at the airport reading the site or do they have sketchy employees
there despite the background checks they claim they do on their security staff? Who knows. So, here's Ryan's story with no photos. I can't
even post photos from the chill cam, which I still have because I carried that along with me in my pocket, because all the cords were stolen out
of my bag also. In total, about five grand worth of gear is gone. I went ahead and
drew one of the photos I took so you could see my
master drawing skills and still see what went down on the skateboard cliff jump. Filmer Sara is working on video clips which will be up soon.

At 6pm Eastern Time, a demo on a street course starts. Then at 8pm Eastern, the jumping starts. Schaefer and Clements will read the messages you send them on the mic during the event. Find out what went down last year right here: Spring Break Yo'Self 2006. If you're bored, like really bored, check out a few non-skate photos: Random Chill Shots From This Week.
