BuddyTour 2012

Introduction by Be-Mag
Write-up, photos and edit by Ian Copp

This summer edit is a continuation of the ‘BuddyTour Series’ I started with Michael Kraft, but I haven’t been on any skate trip or tour. I’ve entered a point where my life has become ‘BuddyTour’. After moving back from the Caribbean in April, I spent a month in Tampa, six weeks in Atlanta, another month in Tampa, then visited cabins in Alabama and Maine. Between living places I’ve passed through Macon, South Carolina, Chattanooga, Orlando, Gainesville, Tallahassee, and Miami.

Specific fall plans are a mystery for now, but my next few years should continue the trend of living various places briefly and skating in and between resident cities whenever I find time and bladers.
