Erik Quits Skating and Moves to Europe...

until his ankle heals. I went to Europe with my girlfriend, Sandy, to visit my mother in Holland. I was lucky enough to watch the finals of AmsterDam Am 2008, which takes place at Everland Skatepark in Amsterdam. If you want to see the footy from the contest you can peep it on Vital Skate. Then we went to Norway to visit Sandy's family. This is a small sample package.



Norway is beautiful! I went fishing and caught a foot and a half long squid in these waters!


World wide baby!


Such a nasty one. No skating on this trip.


My buddy Steve Cockrell from Gainesville came to visit with Scott Kramer as well. This is Steve getting to skate my dream spot. These benches have coping for some reason. And you can see the gap on down the way too. There's rails and grindable banks here too. This picture is from Sandy's camera.


This is in Amsterdam. My girlfriend was taking a picture of the fellas...then all of a sudden there was a really sketchy guy that looked like he wanted her purse. Check the faces.



Ye ain't know.
