It’s our 7th day and unfortunately it’s raining outside. It looks like we’re not going skating, but on a brighter note it was Corey’s birthday last night, and we all celebrated with a proper meal. Happy Birthday Kid! Stay Tuned for more of the Osiggity crew.

We’re all on our 6th day here in Barci, and everything’s looking a lot brighter since our first day. Everyone has been coming up on footage as well as photos for our upcoming TWS article. We’ve been skating a mixture of old and new spots thanks to Diego showing us around. “Diego you the man!” It’s a new adventure everyday. Getting off a metro stop that you’ve never been to and skating what ever is in that area. It’s amazing! For most of the crew this is their first time being out here with the exception of Marius being out here 4 summers ago with Shorty’s. Corey has been attacking spots and conquering them with the utmost of ease. The Butcher is doing what he does best, butchering spots. James and Garrett have been consistently getting a good diversity of tricks between one another. Gailea stuck around for a couple more days to get a few last minute tricks. Shuriken’s been having a blast out here and is always looking good while getting some effortless lines. Marius can skate pretty much anything you put in front of him, and it’s showing with the stuff he’s been getting. Everyone has been taking care of business and having a good time doing it. All and all the first half of this trip has been a success with some minor complications, but I think the second half is going to be even better.

We started our journey to Barci on April 5 th, and we are expected to return on the 20th. The crew flying out of San Diego consisted of James Brockman, Garrett Hill, Shuriken Shannon, Marius Syvanen and myself. Corey Duffel and photographer Dave Chami were also flying out and meeting us there. Right off the bat the trip started off rough with us missing our flight because of a security breech at JFK, and my wallet got stolen from an employee at the Paris, France airport. I was bummed, but after my dilemma in France we finally were on a flight to Barcelona. We were 4 hours late, and I was wondering where everyone was. Russell and Stu weren’t at the airport nor were they at the apartment. I wasn’t sure if Corey and Dave have met up with Russell or not, so the day was getting predominately worse, but the SD crew was together. After about an hour and a half of waiting around the rest of the guys rolled up. We were saved! We finally got time to chill in the apartment and get situated. Our SKATE trip was actually starting and we were all excited and eager to shred.

So far the trip has been going really well. Other than the weather and both Cuong and Mike getting their wallets stolen we have been very productive. The second crew is a lot bigger than the last, which completely ruined the sleeping arrangements. In our apartment there are 4 beds and a couch with a total of 8 people. For some weird Spanish reason none of the stores were open for the first 3 days the second crew arrived leaving Cuong and Marius very uncomfortable until we got some blow up mattress’. I’ve got a little under 5 minutes of edited footage on this trips timeline so far, meaning this whole Osiris video might actually happen. Anyways we are going to try and skate around this rain now. Hope all is well, wherever you may be.
