Text Todd Bratrud—May 7, 2009

we lurked around minneapolis for a hot minute, now off to ND to meet Heck, see some sites and skate a bit...

Munz and his signature sleep mask.

we lucked out and an old man was down to measure how high we got. you know what a buzz kill it is when you gotta take turns measuring hight and skating, you totally get out of your zone.
