College life can be stressful sometime, but Troy Schmidt and Fernando Gabriel have a different way to fill up their free time. Yup! Skateboarding is the way to refresh their mind.

Troy and Fernando took me to this skate park in the middle of nowhere in St.Charles area. It didn t take long until they started cruising around and show off their skills.

Troy Schmidt is currently pursuing his bachelor degree in Chemistry in Lindenwood University. He s a junior and He s been skating more than

4 years back in his hometown, Arkansas.

Fernando Gabriel is a international student from Panama and currently pursuing his bachelor degree in International Business. He started skating 4 years ago with some friends in his neighborhood.

Troy pulled up a Nose Stall to started his day at this skate park, and it s quite impressive.

Fernando started with one of the basic tricks, which was Ollie. Dang!He pulled up a pretty high Ollie.

Troy and Fernando are not the only people in this skate park. I didn t catch his name but he did a Pop Shove-it on that steep ramp. Well done, sir.

One thing that caught my attention other than the amazing tricks that these guys did was the graffiti around the bowl.

Here s another graffiti that I thought was pretty cool looking.

I heard Troy called my name and he wants me to catch him doing a Nose Grind on of the rails in that skate park. I said, yes sir.

One of my favorite tricks is kick flip and I asked Fernando he can do that trick for me. He said, Of course.

Here is a different angle of Troy s favorite trick, Nose stall.

It looks like we have a new comer in this park. This guy just pulled a legit Heel Flip and I was pretty impressed.

I yelled can one of you guys do 50/50 grind? Fernando yelled back to me, you got it! Troy in the background getting ready to top Fernando s trick.

This shirt-less guy kept entertained me with some great tricks throughout the day.

Fernando was singing, Everyday I while doing a kick flip. It was hilarious.

Yeah, that s the same question that I said in my head. Can you do tricks other than Nose Stall?

Fernando applauded Troy s Nose Stall trick. I think he was being sarcastic to Troy because that s all he did in this park.

He topped Troy s trick by Crooked Grind.

Who knew that skateboarding can be so relaxing? Well, these guys do
