A Memorable Hike on Mount Apo: Nature’s Playground

2026-09-25T12:04:06.988-04:00

Hiking has always been one of my favorite activities, and recently, I had the chance to explore one of the most breathtaking trails in the Philippines—Mount Apo. Alongside my friends, we set out on an adventure that blended the thrill of nature with the joy of camaraderie. While skateboarding often brings me excitement on pavement, hiking offers a different kind of thrill, one that connects me deeply with the natural world.

Preparing for the Hike

Before embarking on this journey, we spent time preparing both physically and mentally. We hiked some mountains (Mount Pinatubo, Mount Sembrano, Mount Batulao, Nasugbu Trilogy, Mount Manami, Mount Kalisungan, Mount Pamitinan, Nagpatong Rock Formation). researched the trail, gathered our gear, and packed essentials like water, snacks, and first-aid supplies. The anticipation grew as we discussed our hiking strategies and what we hoped to see along the way.

The Journey Begins

Early in the morning, we met at our designated spot, filled with energy and enthusiasm. The air was crisp, and the sun was just beginning to rise, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. As we started our hike, the excitement was palpable. The trail was a mix of rocky paths and lush greenery, providing us with stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

Connecting with Nature

As we climbed higher, we came across diverse plant and animal species that are native to Mount Apo. The vibrant colors of the flowers and the sounds of birds chirping created a serene atmosphere, allowing us to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Each step brought us closer to the summit, and we took the time to appreciate the beauty around us.

Bonding with Friends

One of the best parts of this hike was sharing the experience with friends. We laughed, shared stories, and encouraged each other during challenging parts of the trail. Whether it was taking breaks to catch our breath or snapping photos of the stunning vistas, the camaraderie made the journey even more memorable.

Reaching the Summit

After hours of hiking, we finally reached the summit of Mount Apo at around 9AM in the morning. The view was nothing short of spectacular. Standing at the top, we were greeted with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. It was a moment of triumph, and we celebrated our achievement with high-fives and cheers. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming, and it reminded me of the importance of pushing our limits.

Reflecting on the Experience

As we made our way back down, I reflected on the day’s adventure. Hiking Mount Apo was not just about reaching the summit; it was about the journey, the friendships, and the connection to nature. It reminded me that while skateboarding is exhilarating, hiking offers a different kind of thrill—one that nourishes the soul.

Conclusion

My hike on Mount Apo was an unforgettable experience that I’ll cherish for years to come. I owe this incredible adventure to our organizer, iTrekkers, who made it possible. I also want to express my gratitude to our guides and the friends we met along the trail. This trip has deepened my love for the outdoors and the importance of spending quality time with friends. As I continue to explore new trails and skateboarding spots, I eagerly anticipate more adventures that challenge me both physically and mentally. If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend hiking Mount Apo—it’s an experience you won’t want to miss!

BAM X Fallen Footwear Skate Shoes

2026-09-25T03:15:17.732-04:00

I know these BAM X Fallen skate shoes will never surpass the peak era of Bam's Adio models, but it's cool to know they made these as they are still RAD.

Margera collaborated with skate brand Adio in the 2000s, creating several signature models. However, his sneaker history takes a more intriguing turn before the Nike SB era. Bam was among a select group of skaters chosen by Nike to test its first genuine skate shoes, including the Baldspot and prototype ACG models deemed suitable for skating. Despite his notorious dislike for these shoes,

Margera opted to adorn his preferred éS shoes with Swooshes instead. The Bam Margera x Fallen shoes have already sold out, leaving you with the best chance of acquiring a pair through the aftermarket market.
