I went down state (Portage, Kalamazoo) for a while and went to a skate competition, but I didn`t know it was going on. My brother and I went up to the skatepark to skate and there was a competition. You had to enter early, so i didn`t get to enter.

Also when I was down state I hung out with some skateboarders and learned some stuff. I also went to the skate park about every day when I was down there.
