that sucks he got hit by a car. RIP.

 

took some mean spill the other day, first time i was trying a halfcab feeble on this 6 ft quatrter and i got the nose of my board in the upper ribs, fell and got coping in my lower ribs, then fell to flat and just laid on my face for a few mins.. that hurt..

 

then 20 mins later i was charging at this 8ft quarter and got real bad speed wobble, flew about 4 feet and crashed straight into the ramp, somehow twisted and fell off the side inbetween the ramp and a wall landing in a inch of dust and shit. as i was laying there i heard everyone in the park like "holy shit man that dude looks dead."

thought i fucked up my arm at first cause if i tried to make a fist it hurt like hell and my arm would shake, but its just sore as hell... i'm feeling it today though, feels like i got jumped.

 

one of my buddies always says to me " dude you love skateboarding, but it fucking hates you man" .. im starting to agree haha.

RIP...

 

 

On another note: Every major city should have something similar to burnside... It's a shame it seems like the Boston one will never happen even after all the Stimulus money went to it etc. Also since when did Burnside get such a makeover... must have been a few years since I seen it now it is all painted fancy?

 

Edit: June 2010 Update

Thanks to a Federal Stimulus grant the North Bank pedestrian bridge that will connect the Northpoint park and Charlestown will now be built, thus allowing EOEEA and DCR to allocate funds from the Big Dig Mitigation to pay for the construction of the skatepark. This was approved by the Citizens Advisory Committee in September 2009. The DCR and the Charles River Conservancy are urrently in discussion how best to establish a long‐term operation and aintenance plan.

ya after that i was done, that shit HURT. i'm probably not gonna skate for like a month or so now, i've been getting worked lately.

Ha. Yeah, the C bowl wasn't treating you so well last weekend either. All your boys just played skate in the flat, and then gave up entirely while you charged that thing for like an hour.

ha, ya i shredded my pants and sweatshirt on that thing, and my shoulder was real sore the next day. which didnt help 2 days later when i took those other spills.. but im determined to land that, im just too busted up right now haha.

thats how those dudes can be, sometimes they throw themselves at shit, other times they just talk about it, i try to always throw myself at something i think i could do, especially if i talk about it. and when it comes to ability i'm the worst of them, but i have the drive that they dont sometimes, i always picture tricks at spots and shit like that and try to push my ideas on someone i know could do it.

dude was talking about a nosepick on it all week too, then completely pussed out. worst part is i know he could do it.

I'm not saying either are angels...DP was shooting junk at a friend's house party after a U.S. Bombs show around 1996/1997 here in Cleveland . And it was a total bummer to be asked to kick him out of the house being someone I totally idolized and looked up to as a skater .

 

Odd fact...he remembered it and felt horrible about it when I saw Gunfight a couple of years ago here . I don't feel like going into details about it , but I was blown away at his sincerity .
