A Random Trip to St. Pete Skatepark
Photos and Captions by Rob Meronek, except the the chinky pic which is by some white dude named John PaulDid you ever roll up to some place like "man, that doesn't look too cool," but it ends up being super fun? We had a fun time at the St. Petersburg Skatepark last night before we put a hurtin' on our livers at The Castle. The St. Pete skate park is located in Fossil Park at 6739 9th Street North. When we got there, we pretty much just rolled in and skated with no questions asked, so I'm not sure if helmets, waivers, and payment are required. I feel bad for all the eleven-teen year olds smoking without a beer to chase it down with. It's now been 3 months since I quit smoking cold turkey. Yee haw. So kids still see smoking as cool? The 80's are definitely back.
Check out a few photos from our session below. No bangers, though. Sorry. I spiced up the boring ones with a little Photo Chop Shop entertainment for you. Get yer hate on.
