SPoT Locals November 2005
If you haven't been here in a while, there's a lot of new artwork on the walls back here in the kiddie course. On your right is one of several pieces by Chris Deacon. He uses a dremmel tool to etch the work into a piece of wood. Matt Seemen is wallriding from the quarter onto the bank - a very awkward roll back in

Jason Fintel has been wearing the same gear since Sunday, but you can't really tell because he's got that clean cut shakka bra stee going on. That smell's not clean cut, though. This is an alley-oop wall ride

SPoT Locals, Brandon Baker

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Friday, November 11, 2005

SPoT Locals November 2005
I met Brandon Baker a few months ago while skating in the Park. He was still a full beginner and could barely boardslide the bump to flat bar, which of course led to hater comments on his photo. Luckily he can ignore that, have fun, and just skate. He's definitely progressing and can now 360 flip the hip

When you're using the fisheye on the camera, you have to be right in someone's face when taking the photo. Kevin knows a thing or two about being in people's faces, but while he had the camera, most of the time he was too far away. This is Jeff Hatcher smith grinding the round rail

How come every kid who works the Snack Bar completely rips? Must be the corn dogs or something. I'm going to have to get me one right now. Check out Dave Cruz's perfectly leveled back tail on the bump to ledge
