when i was a kid i always dreamt of moving out to cali when i got older watching all the videos, seeing all the spots and the pros and everything. as ive gotten older and traveled to california and around the country a bit i have grown to love the east coast. the spots aren't blown out, they dont all look the same, there is just so much more personality here. i remember when i was younger watching vids and thinking "man cali is the place to be, its always sunny and the footage looks so good, here the footage is always grey". I'm like the opposite now, of course in the winter like now, i'm hating being here in northern va, because of all the snow, but i have no desire to travel to california anymore, or really anywhere past texas. DC, Philly, NYC, and NC have plenty of amazing spots. When those get old there is always Miami, Nashville, and ATL, even Ohio has a lot of sick spots. I would take all of those places to travel before the west coast.
