Headed over to the Sequim Mervin factory for the video premier of Homeschool 8 -- and when I say headed, I mean flew. Following in the steps of our publisher, Jeff Galbraith, I jumped head first into the realm of private air and I'm all about it. Thanks to friend and pilot James Alton we landed VIP at the Sequim airport, stumbling distance from the Mervin Mfg. factory. First time ever visiting the home of Lib Tech and Gnu, and I got a quick tour of the factory, watched a board being made and even caught a glimpse of some 07 boards. Really cool.
After nightfall, departed from the bonfire and settled in on the lawn of the factory to watch the main event. Memorable sections include Peter Tosh, Banked Slalom footage, solid intermission footage and most importantly the mantra that never got old: "Home School Rips". The night ended with a raffle and all proceeds benefiting the Port Angeles Skatepark. Mervin Mfg. generously threw down enough product it seemed like most everybody was a winner. Ryan Kennedy walked away with a snowboard. Looking forward to "Homeschool 9".
