Pier 15

Food break! When we first got to Pier 15 one of the guys said that Pier 15 Skatepark isn't a skatepark with a bar, it's a bar with a skatepark...and also some really good food. Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich was not playing around!

Saw the homie Tim Koster from Flatspot Mag out in the courtyard editing away on his computer

Back on the course we got Germany's Mika Möller with a fat tre flip on the pyramid

The first time Louis went for this nosegrind he stuck and fell straight onto his dome. He came back and landed it immediately. Glad you're good my dude!
