    Well it looks like it's pretty good despite the rough ground. Learned back tails on it yesterday. And my homie Evan was getting noseblunts!

     

    The spot is in my parents' driveway where I no longer live. They were away for a couple weeks and needed me to look after the house, so I built a ledge. It's just a nice little obstacle that I'll have there every time I go back to visit.

    I've been seeing a resurgence of kids riding their wheels down to 1993 status lately too.

     

    I don't think it's intentional though, cause it's usually poor kids riding Spitfires.

    It really doesn't take too long for Spitfires to wear down to bearing covers, and these kids are probably stuck till Christmas rolls around.

     

    Hahahahah

    Funny and 100% true.

    Found this radness on Thrasher the other day.

     

    "In 1975, the Central Arizona Project (C.A.P.) began with the goal to bring water from the Colorado River to Phoenix and Tucson via a series of canals. Wherever the canals crossed a river, huge 24-foot pipes were used. When I was in high school, we wrote the company that made the pipes (Ameron) and they sent us maps of the C.A.P. project, so we were able to find the different pipe construction sites and barge them. I carried my camera during those early years, and I'm now slowly restoring these historic pipe photos 30 years later.

     

    I am just another vert dinosaur, sharing old war stories. I'm sure we all have some. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. I was also a photographer and a crazed AZ desert skateboarder. Very few of us OG skaters are still skating. Life changes, the sport changes, people get hurt and stop. But I know many of us cannot give up skateboarding, for us it is more than a sport or a hobby, it is a way of life. Skateboarding will take you on adventures with your friends you will never forget, no matter how old you are."

     

    Sincerely,

    I think the bullshit I was talking about would play out different between different groups of people.

    No snitching, on the group or where I heard the nonsense.

     

    I don't see most people caring ... but obviously some are threatened by that behavior.

    I was surprised to hear it, and since he is homies with Igloo I put it up here.

    Normally I wouldn't spend two seconds on some silly industry gossip like that.

     

    Funny how much people here are bothered by it. Almost a page of shit about it.

     

    something else.

     

    Word man, to each his own.

    Sick video part. I love older footy. The skating looked like so much fun back then, none of the "standards" that you see in it today.

    Not saying it's any less fun now though :D

    Why couldn't the pros and young guns just do the same tricks, just pushing to do it with more style each time.. Or even just to compare and see how their style differs.

    Either way I think any reasonable pro should be stoked to see anyone land a trick that they enjoy doing.
