Shameless plug for my new aviation apparel line, Flying Fools 😎 It’s still a work in progress, i’ve been thinking about doing this for a while, finally pushed myself to put something together. I’d really like your feedback. I dropped a Black Friday deal if anyone wants to check it out — link in my bio ✈️

Way back in the late 80s early 90s there was one of the Radest skateparks of all time, located in the Olneyville area of Providence, Rhode Island. The park was called “The skate Hut, it was owned and managed by Fred Smith and Rob Murphy. The Hut was all about parties, music, and insane skating. Sid’s legendary Water Brothers crew from Newport absolutely ruled that place. Local and frequent skaters included, Johnny Car wash, Bruce Juice, Twister, Jonathan, Jason, Jeff Thompson, Jim Noonan, Rick Reed, Metal Man, Ard, Chickenhawk, Kevin Day, Jeff Shank, Dougy, Snibbie, Ram, Eastie, Jay Roche, Alexi and many others, sorry if I missed your name. Back then our EasternBoarder/ Rhino Skate crew was based in the Shirley/Ayer area of MA. We had multiple vert ramps and a strong skate scene, skaters included, Jon Hobbs, Rhino, James Powers, Jamie Mac, David Wood, Joel Muzzy, Scott Forton, Matt Maguire, Brian Reardon, Craig Martin, and others. Every weekend we would make the trip down to the Hut, all week long we would look forward to partying and skating with our friends in RI. At one point Sid and the Water Brothers crew made a rip off graphic of our EB logo and put it on t shirts, (actually our logo was already a rip off). Busting balls, all in good fun, Sid changed our “All the Evil Stuff” to “All the Same Shit”, of course we could not let this rest. We retaliated with a rip off of the Water Brothers logo, Jason Roche change their dolphins into sharks and we then added “Drink, Fight and Fuck”, which we thought best described what was happening in Rhode Island at the time. Some of my best memories from come from, the Skate Hut, ZT Maximus, and our backyard vert ramps. Big congratulations to Sid Abbruzzi @waterbrothers ,and his amazing film @waterbrotherfilm Thank you for all you’ve done for skating and surfing. #theskatehut #waterbrothers #easternboarder

A couple of weeks ago I went airplane camping with some friends. There are many small airfields that have campsites or will just let you pitch a tent next to your aircraft. These photos are from Parlin airfield near Lake Sunapee NH. We went a mile down the road into the town of Newport for food and drinks, good times. #flamping #flycamping #parlinaorfield #cia #crowislandaviators

My sketchy flight of the day. Actually, this little Nano ultralight gyroplane is very well-made and crazy fun to fly. It only weighs 250 pounds and handles very well. #littlenellie #cia #crowislandairpark #nanogyroplane #gyroplane #ultralightgyroplane #cialowlife

Just made a 1200 mile adventure from Sebring FL to Keen NH in this new Evektor Harmony Sport Plane. My friend Mark ordered it 2 years ago and it finally arrived in Florida. We helped put the finishing touches on it, then hopped in for the 2 day flight home. Day 1 we had a good tailwind, 160 mph ground speed, Day 2 gave us a 40 kt headwind. Good times.#evektorharmony #lightsportaircraft #bluecollaraviation

I had the opportunity to take this 10’6” Utility hydroplane for a rip today. The engine originally was only 10HP, but with modifications it will go 40-50 MPH. So sick! You have to really lean it around turns. Mad chicken with a rooster tail
