your personal polk high moment

In 3rd or 4th grade I won the spelling bee.  It was in a small midwestern town and there was only 60 some kids in my grade to compete against.  I'm not a bum now, but all the teachers were bummed when I did community service as a janitor there 7 years later.

When I was in the marine corps I did a little stint in Rota, Spain. Basically there to respond to any crisis in Africa or in the Med (like an embassy getting run over). I packed my board with me because I knew I’d be there for at least six months. Eventually we had some downtime and I got to go skate throughout southern Spain, I got to do some street skating with my buddies who also packed their boards. One night we went all the way down to Gibraltar, we had a great time bombing hills and just skating around. I did a really rad backside flip over this grass gap, the went to a few bars and got pretty toasty, and I got an over the pants handy.
