The one good thing about this recession is all the businesses that are closing down. More skate spots for us. This was 1 of 4 spots we found that were closed.
"The sign says NO SKATEBOARDING and the police asked us to call them anytime we see skateboarders" "Well lady I got news for you, you're using your phone the wrong way" I love it when people come at you with their cell phones to take pictures of you, and your license plate. I usually put a big smile on my face and ask them if they got a good photo and if they can email it to me. Criminals.
So after getting photographed by two old hags we headed to this spot. Darrell and Ben put down some hard ass tricks. Then right as we were packing up the rain came. Looks like somebody gets a day off.
For the past 2 days we've been in the Element van for at least 13 hours a day. Anybody that's in a tour van for that long goes a little nuts, or sleeps. Well Andy decided to sleep, and I went a little nuts with my camera and laptop.
End of the night we stopped in some 2 horse town to find this sketchy spot and Sonic as our only options. We decided to roll with Sonic. Tater Tots covered with American Cheese, count me in.
I have an idea of how I want my 67 to look, so today I'm posting the before picture, and until it's done I'll post photo's of the work being done to it.
John has been a good friend of mine for a little over 8 years now, and he's got skills behind the lens. Check out his WEBSITE HERE , and his daily FILM BLOG
Ben Karpinski hooked this spot up. He went in one day and asked the owners if we could skate, surprisingly they said yes. Here's a little edit I did with the footage. Thanks to Home Run Park for letting us skate.
Bummed I didn't get a photo of the beer cans, whiskey bottles, chip bags, burnt hot dogs and vintage porn, just a few things surrounding Connett and Jamie the next morning. The birds were picking up the scraps.
