Family Reunion

(Jo and I trying to make a NE)

My how time flies. Somehow I haven’t seen Jo in 11+ years. Danny and Johannes Lorenz used to come visit from Germany every other summer when we were all growing up, the main reason being to visit family in the area. We met through skateboarding and always were connected at the hip the entire time they were in the states. So many good memories and times were had! Im not the most nostalgic by any means but it was so good to see my hometown through his eyes and listen to the way he remembered it. Danny stayed with us for a year in 99 or so, so it will be almost 10 years since we’ve seen that cat too.

(Jo, ollie)

Jo was always the gnarliest out of the bunch, a true wild man through and through. Back then all he cared about was wu tang, hunting down some marlboro’s, and jumping down the biggest set of stairs he could find(probably nollie flipping it too). If i can figure out a way to get the old footage from him at age 12/13 it still puts most kids to shame. To this date there was a couple tricks we have on robo cam that seriously cant be touched. He has really grown into quite an intelligent and responsible adult, is a seasoned world traveler, and has such a positive outlook, it was refreshing just being able to talk about life with him. Jo is currently handling the team manager duties at emerica for all of europe, but is still killing it, winning contests and rides for both emerica and element.

Its been way too long guys, and we need to find a way to visit more often! Much love from all of the Van Boening’s to the Lorenz and Smith families.
