The East Coast “kids of the future:” Chris Ono Buono, Pat Schep, Keith Rebhorn and Jeremy Ross went on an epic spring break journey to the fabled mountains of the Old South and the images you are about to see are indeed from this trip and are actually on the East Coast. The trip they took is something we all dream of and I am so happy to help them share this experience. There is nothing like getting your friends in a car, forgetting the real world, and just going to find and conquer the gnarliest terrain in your way. Buckle up for their tale of what the word stoke really means.

Anthony – Pat give me a quick run down of your trip.

Pat Schep – After spending much of the winter virtually exploring the NC mountains on google maps, I knew where I wanted to spend my spring break. I invited a lot of people to come out and spend the week with us in NC, but in the end it just ended up being myself, Keith Rebhorn, Chris Buono, and we met up with Jeremy Ross for a bit once we were in NC. We started the week with an itinerary and a list of hills we wanted to hit…. but we then ended up just winging the whole week and just playing things by ear. The week is one long blur of skating, sleeping, drinking, and just hanging out in awesome places with some of my best friends.
