organizations and stuff?...
Organization was.. you know, talk on whatsapp, everyone brings what he has
And that's it kind of.. in 4 in the morning on Saturday, the first day
Everyone took whatever they have, put it in the car and we're off
You know.. something like that
Ah.. at the first day we skated the most
At the first day we.. we started in 4 AM and it was until the evening actually
We arrived to the first spot about 7 AM and we left the last spot in 9 PM
So it was actually the day we skated the most
We also had to the most spots and the most skateparks
We started this idea.. me, Ben and Assaf Vega.. "VEGAS"
We started you know.. to think about interesting skate tour
Listen.. we did a lot of skate tours to Eilat (city) in the past
Actually.. Eilat was the our last opinion, we thought about something else
You know.. not only Eilat
We started to make our way towards Katzrin
One the road.. 3 hours driving to the north
Music.. Fun..
Suddenly, near Afula.. a lot of fog
Can't see nothing.. don't know where to drive
You can't see nothing.. like.. we barely saw the road
And somehow we got on with it..
We kept driving.. it was funny
Like.. it was really stressful
I was the driver so...
<font color=#FFFF00FF>- Damn that fog.. slow down.. </font> <font color=#FFFF00FF>wow what a road</font>
<font color=#FFFF00FF>- Wow bro.. now we really cant see nothing</font>
The tour concept was to be all over the country
All over the country with skateboard.. from north to south
We think a lot about the spots and the places that we want to go to
It all was like.. really organized
I mean we were really stressful about the time so we can get everything done
We left at 4 AM on Saturday
Straight to Katzrin you know..
And that was the first spot..
The day started when we arrived to Katzrin <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
and found a skatepark that we didn't know exists
And it's the worst skatepark you will see in your life
We arrived to the skatepark.. and it was.. broken
It was.. broken
Somehow we were able to skate on it
The Mini-Ramp was broken
We land a couple tricks and after one hour we decided like..
Ok, we out of here
Straight to Katzrin's spot
Katzrin's spot.. everyone knows..
A lot of curbs.. it's really worth to skate there
Stairs.. you've got everything in this spot.. everything
Like Skate-Plaza
Everything was like.. the ledges was.. marble ledges
Gaps.. stairs.. you have what you need to have fun..
You can make it as you home-spot for sure..
I did grind on the stairs
Wow.. hours in the heat..
It was 10 AM.. so hot..
That's ok.. practicing
That's ok if I didn't land that trick.. Ill land it next time
In the next tour..
- in the future
- yes.. in the future
that's ok.. I mean, I tried as much as I can
I tried to land it for hour or more
There was a couple of tries that I was close
But then I got hit and.. I couldn't try anymore
You are ok?
You are ok?
And then.. we started to drive to…
Where we went on from there?
If I'm not mistaken.. the next spot was.. Kiryat Bialik?
Hifa? Kiryat Bialik?
Kiryat Bialik I think.. no?
Kiryat Bialik right?
At the next day.. I mean in the evening, me and omer talked and I asked him
" wow do you remember the spots we went to?"
And he was like.. nobody remember wihich spots we've been through
So many spots.. you are like.. everything mixed up in your head
We went to kiryat Bialik.. and we were a little bit exhausted after a good session
In the broken skatepark and also In Katzrin's spot
Ah.. we decided that we don't want to skate street now.. you are so tired..
Already from the first spot.. it's getting hard
And to go to another spot it's somehow possible and..
It's possible but no that easy..
And we went to Kiryat Bialik's skatepark
and decided that we to much tired and we want to do something chill'
So we skate In the skatepark
We skate on the mini-ramp.. chilling.. me, Omer and Assaf
I mean.. we where just started to adapt to all of this..
You know.. a lot of skateparks.. skating all day long
So we were chillin' in the mini ramp
It was fun at the skatepark.. There is not too much to tell about it
Afte Kiryat Bialik We decided that we continue to Haifa
We arrived to the spot and then Boom the battery is over
Ok so.. what to do.. What to do..
Ok.. somehow I'll charge the battery from the car
You don't have enough battery on the camera
and you need to charge the camera all the time
I brought another battery and somehow we needed to charge it again and again
And everything was from the car we rented..
In the car we charged the phones, the camera, everything is from the car
And you calculate yourself while driving..
If to shoot all the experience.. or to shoot all the shit we've done
and all the skateboarding that was there..
Ah.. and from there we moved to.. <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
in fact it was 5 in the evening I think..
And we said "ok.. we have to go to Haifa's skatepark"
Haifa.. we heard that there is a new skatepark really close to the beach
And I really liked it, I thought that it really worth to go there
In Haifa I really liked the skatepark
It was beautiful.. with a sea View
Cool park, fun, cool view.. sea and everything..
really style
the skatepark itself was awesome.. we skated, shred as much as we can..
After we were really tired after several spots and two skateparks..
Which is a lot of a driving
It was really really nice.. we weren't at the mood of filming..
I just was there.. looked around.. "ok Fuck-it Im closing the camera"
I just closed the camera and we really didn't film nothing..
After hour and half.. maybe two hour in Haifa's skatepark
After that we were really tired and cant really skate anymore
We said ok.. lets go to Zichron Yaakov
To the skatepark
Which is fucking the fourth skatepark we were going to visit
And we really tired and hungry
And.. I need to pee..
And.. you know.. we arrived to the park.. and at that point we were so done
We barely skated..
In Zichron Yaakov.. we were at the skatepark.. we didn't film so much
We didn't film at all I think
But it was fun..
We went from spot to spot, from skatepark to skatepark
Its fun.. its interesting.. we are all friends
when you in a skate tour you want to do new things
and go to places that you never been before
that you didnt experience yet
to make new experience
to go to as many spots or skateparks as you can
or.. to skate as much as you can in places that you never been before
I thing that was the meaning of the tour at the end of the day
so...that why all goes so good and
and we skate a lot in skateparks and less in the streets
but it was like.. that the whole experience
yes, it was more about the vibes
and to create this tour you know
because no one else done it before in Israel
renting a car and drive all over the country
which is hard as hell
it's something really difficult
I mean… at the first day we went to 4 skateparks
eating crappy food
and drinking alot of water…
to skate all day long is also something really difficult
We arrived to Zichron Yaakov.. and then.. it was it
I mean..
it's the end of the day
You are done..
it's like...
the sun was set.. you are slowly like..
you are tired and...
Omer was just thrown in the car..
he couldn't carry on because his leg <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
and me and Assaf were so done
And every second there were mosquitoes and you don't know what to do
We were there maybe for half hour
Forty-five minutes.. something like that, and we out from there
We said "that enough"
"we done it here"
"that enough.. let's go, let's go to sleep as fast as we can.."
<font color=#FFFF00FF>- Beach?</font>
<font color=#FFFF00FF>- Yes we'll sleep on the beach,</font> <font color=#FFFF00FF>the beach name is "Maayan Tzvi"</font>
<font color=#FFFF00FF>- oh right</font>
At the end of the first day we were sleep in Non-regulated beach
We did barbecue..
We did barbecue...
What else we've done?
- We drink wine
- We drink wine.. yeah
Hookah.. Omer's girlfriend was..
It was fun..
We've got to a nice beach
His name was "Maayan Tzvi" if I remember right
like.. non-regulated beach you know..
And to go to there.. it's a lot of driving in the send and dunes
Which is also pretty cool
Fucking rented car.. really small car..
A lot of stuff in the car, sleeping bags, tents, skateboards and camera
A car that isn't made for this type of driving
We were like.. "ok fuck-it we don't have a lot of choices"
We drive something like three kilometers in the sands
until we made it to the beach
And...
And then we really fast set up a tent and everything
And Omer bring barbecue and wine
It was fun.. we were chilling
It was really like...
the end of the day.. you are so done
I really think it was the most <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
massive and hardest day possible
The most massive possible
actully.. the first day <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
was the most essential
we skate the most and we go to all of the spots
that we never been before
and maybe we will never be again because they are in the north
I mean.. we don't skate in the north a lot
we skate more at the center area and a little bit in the south
Be'er Sheva and all this area
so it was the most essential
we saw a lot of spots that we never saw before
a lot of skateparks that we never been before
a lot of places that we never been before
like all those cool beaches that we went to
that was the day…
that was the first day.. it was the hardest day of the tour
like.. really
on the second day we woke up really early
I think it was 7 or 6 and half.. something like that
We set an alarm clock
Because at the first day we skated so much
so we were all sweaty and dirty.. sticky
So we went to gas station to wash ourselves
We got in the toilet and started washed ourselves with the tap
You want to take a shower.. and you don't have where to go
And you want to eat a breakfast.. we just didn't know what to do
So we go with it and found a gas station and got to the toilet
And with the tap we just washed ourselves
And we decided that go from there
We went to Caesarea.. We tried look for a beach or something with shower
We didn't found something good
The next station of the tour was supposed to be Caesarea
and..
And.. it was like.. we started the morning a little bit late
We were really delayed because..
because we wasn't sure about where we are really want to go
Because.. like I said, when you are in a skate tour so everything is dynamic
You have certain spots, especially in that kind of tour
We had specific skate spots that we wanted to go to
And specific places that we wanted to go to
in specific times
and everything was very accurate
but you.. you have more things that you also want to do
and that why plans changes
and I think that's all the fun part..
when everything is flowing and not stuck
from there we went to Hadera
Assaf brought gas grill so.. so we had the opportunity to made omelets
On the road we stop in a supermarket
we bought eggs and and stuff to start the morning
And we continued to.. we continued to Hadera
And right when we passed Caesarea
I remembered that there is a new skatepark that should be open now
suddenly I looked in Facebook, boom the skatepark is open
open and we just passed Caesarea
And I was like "ho shit.. never mind.. we have to move on"
I mean.. you have a schedule and you cant go back with the spots
Because it's a big problem relative to what we wanted to suffice
We got to Hadera's skatepark.. there we made breakfast
We brought gas grill, we made omelets
It was fun.. we also skated at the park after that
Hadera's skatepark was actually pretty good It was fun
<font color=#FFFF00FF>- Iike a nature boy</font>
<font color=#FFFF00FF>– yes.. what can I say..</font>
<font color=#FFFF00FF>- what did he say?</font>
<font color=#FFFF00FF>- he is a nature.. Nature boy</font>
<font color=#FFFF00FF>wait wait</font>
I think we continue to.. Netanya, right?
If I'm not mistaken
Netanya.. Netanya bro..
Netanya is the skatepark!
Huge Park, Security..
I mean, there is security guys that only allowed skateboards
and nothing else
Really cool
In Netanya we shred a little bit
It was really fun.. huge and good skatepark
Everything is flowing, very fun
And then me and "Vegas".. me and Assaf
We decided to get a cool picture of us doing grind on the ledges at the same time
And it all started there.. in that point we said "ok lets film"
Am.. so we skate there.. e ach one did his trick
We filmed it, somehow we succeeded to film it all and to take a cool photo
And from there we were out
To the Dead Sea
We got straight to the Dead Sea.. I mean.. we started drive to the Dead Sea
Which is two hours driving now..
Hm.. actually we wanted to go to the Dead Sea's spot at the second day
But because we stacked a little bit on skateparks and spots so we didn't made it
And as we got the Dead Sea it was dark already
So we went to a beach in the Dead Sea.. and we slept there
there we finely take a real shower
yes.. Right when we got to the Dead Sea we said "no way, we have to go to the spot"
"no matter when"
And then we saw a really small hole in the fence
And instead of keep looking for a better place to get in..
we tried to break through there for an half hour.. wasting our time
We said "we will back tomorrow with a knife or something.."
And then Omer continued to walk for one minute
and founded a better place to go through..
which at the next day we entered from there
There.. at the water park.. its pretty insane
Like.. it's pretty weird
We get in with the boards but..
you cant really skate because it was dark
And I forgot the camera's led light in the car because I didn't thought about it
I mean.. I wasn't sure If we will skate there or not
I mean.. It's like..
It's on the beach and when it get dark so..
When there is no sun.. it's like, that's it, the session is over
We had a really tight schedule.. someone filmimg a trick and he want more time
Or he didn't land his trick and he want to keep trying
and the time passed and we needed to go from the spot or the skatepark
So everything was pressed
Fucking 3 days that..
you dont have time for nothing..
we drive from Katzerin to Eilat
you wanted to go to all of the spots on your way
we went to millions of skate spots
and millions of skateparks and cities
You're under time pressure
Not easy..
Really not easy..
Yes.. we didn't had a lot of time
because we needed to suffice a lot of spots and skateparks
in a really short time
we had three days to reach from north to south
we woke up in the morning at the third day, I mean that was the last day
and we woke up really really early
the sunset was really amazing at the Dead Sea
I mean.. at the beach
We folded all the sleeping bags and tents, and we went to the car
We went straight to the spot
Amazing spot
Cool place you know.. like an abandoned water park in the movies
Amazing spot.. really cool place <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
Like its built for skaters
We skated a little bit on the bank
A little bit on the water slide
we filmed a couple of tricks <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
until the battery was over
and then I was like "ok last trick, I'll do backside-tail on the bank"
I did a couple of tries, boom I land it and we are out of there
All the time we charged the camera like crazy
Must to charge it
From there we kept to Eilat but on the road we stoped at the "Hidden Lake"
If you don't know what is it.. so it's a lake in nowhere on the way to Eilat
We out from the car.. Equipped with water and we started to walk
We walked something like six kilometer I think
I don't know how we got there with the car
We had a really small car..
we just parked it and we started walk
according to the map I saw on my phone
And somehow we found a new lake
I think so.. I don't know
Some kind of another lake.. it wasn't the "Hidden Lake"
Suddenly I Realized,
we saw it on the way..
but we didn't understand it was it And it was like… near the road <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
Ok so… we arrived to the "Hidden Lake"
Which is no so hidden guys..
if someone want to find it it kind of a joke
An.. we arrived to the lake and there
we were equipped with our last food and a lot of canned food
At the first and the third days we kind of Lived on canned food
And a lot time we stuck without water and we needed to go buy
like.. it was really hot those days
We arrived to the lake.. We got on the cliff there
Really close to the lake
On the lake
After couple of looking on the height
I said "fuck it Im jumping and now I don't care"
After me Vegas (Assaf)
with his childish mind he thought
"I'll jump after Omer"
He jumped like a pussy..
that's ok we will Forgive him for that
And that's it we didn't had there for long time
After that we kept our way to Eilat
Right when we arrived in Eilat we got to the "Street Mafia SkateShop"
We met Avi (the owner) which we didn't saw for a while
And the memory card fulled
32 GB
Memory card full
And every time we skate a little.. filming, deleting, filming, deleting
Pass throw all the videos that we capture.. deleting
Somehow I made it
And every time survives with the last memory on the card
When we went to Eilat the first thing I did
was to buy a new memory card
I mean.. I really think we were more <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
having fun than on skateboarding
I mean.. it was both
And because we were mainly at the skateparks
so I don't think it was kind of
Am.. hardcore skateboarding.. like.. it was
Friends and fun.. Just fun tour!
From there we met Alan
We skated with Alan on the.. There's a spot with..
Three stairs and ledges and more three stairs and ledges
That was Eilat.. the last spot of the tour
and..
And you are done <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
Just done!
There is no other way to describe it
After so many skate-spots like..
And suddenly you look back and think like
"wow two days ago I was at the other side of the country
And somehow I made it to here
And I skated all day all the days"
Non-stop skateboarding really really massive and really hard
And like with the Eilat's weather and everything is like..
Everything just falls on you
You are in the ambiance of the end
It's like.. That's it, I'm done, I just want to sleep and rest
So we got to the spot.. I talked with Alan
so.. ee started to skate there
And really.. everyone was done.. No one was able except from Alan
So Alan filmed a couple of tricks
And it was like "fuck-it lets go to the skatepark"
Yes.. and we were so dead..
It's like the last day.. it's the..
Last spots.. like.. what you can
And anyway we arrived late.. so you know..
Yes.. from there we moved to the skatepark
Actually at the skatepark was really good
We arrived at 5pm something like that..
It's getting pretty late and you are done..
And you don't know if you can skate..
Assaf.. it was his first time in Eilat.. or second time..
And I was so many times.. from tours or with family
So Vegas (Assaf) really excited from Eilat
so at the skatepark he also shred
I don't know how he is not tired
Me and Ben was really done
At the last day we were so dead
Everyday only skateboarding.. so hard
Not easy at all
I mean.. it wasn't a usual skate-tour
Really
It's wasn't the kind of tour when you go to one or two spots a day
Every day we really got to four skate-spots
and if you don't skate so you are driving
And if you are not driving so you skate
I mean.. it's all together you know..
Every time you skate intensive and then you need to stop for two hours driving
And to keep skate as much as you can and it was like..
Hard
Just get it
At the first day we were in.. <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
Fucking I don't know how many skate-spots
Don't know how many skateparks already
We were in so many.. I mean..
When we arrived to Eilat it was the ambiance of the end
You don't have powers, you want to skate but you just can't skate
You tired and you cant..
So I really just did two tricks for the video <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
and Assaf did two tricks for the video
And you in that situation that what you try and you know how to do it
You cant do it
Your body is exhausted.. <i><b><u><font color=#00000000></font></u></b></i>
You're exhausted
And.. to think that it was only three days
and we wanted to be four days at first
I mean, I wanted it to be four days at first
But because of certain constraints, then it was three days
And after three days we were just..
Broke off
It was good it was good
It was hard and fun
And I do not mind to do it again .. Even though it was difficult
even to make it longer
- that what I think too
That what we will do...
We didn't skate so many, I mean.. We skate a lot
But we didn't filmed so much
I was more about to ..
to come and do it you know..
For the fun.. it was so fun but..
Three days I think, from north to Eilat
I mean from north to south.. and stop almost in all the spots
Totally cool
There is no better than the friends and the experiences
Even if there isn't a lot of landing tricks and skate-street
I mean.. I think that.. that the reason we do skate-tours
I mean.. that why we did that tour
Yes.. It was more about the good vibes
And to create this tour you know..
Because nobody never did that tour..
In Israel...
