Holdin it Down in the Desert

Elemental Awareness just returned from “Winter Count” the annual wilderness survival skills gathering in the deserts of Arizona. E.A. put on a fire race with a bow drill and hand drill division, an archery tournament , and a rootsy skate contest. The skate contest was held on a single piece of plywood, under a tarp to shield us from the rain and illuminated by lanterns. The mini contest included most kickflips out of ten and a flat ground best trick contest. The magic of Elemental Awareness truly expressed itself in the middle of the desert working with and inspiring so many awesome kids though skateboarding and primitive skills.
