etnies Beer and Burritos for the Staff
etnies hooked up the SPoT staff with a night of beer for those of age and burritos for those of hunger. We spent it in the Dungeon in the back smashing pinatas and getting a history lesson on the early days of skateboarding, coincidentally around the time etnies was started.

A good after work session for grown ass men starts with stacks of sauce. Thanks for the beer, etnies.

Luke Pallone
etnies has been around as long as inverts and street plants. I have, too, so I thought I'd teach the young ones some moves. I seems like generally people who go to try street plants for the first time prefer the Andrect method of grabbing. I think that's harder, but with some practice, Luke might have this down.

Josh Wilson
All I can think of when it comes to street plants in Steve Rocco's famous quote, "Sorry kids, street plants aren't skateboarding." I don't know. I think it's time for a comeback. Josh Wilson's going for the Andrect method here as he tries to learn.

I told Josh about how it's easier with the mute grab method. He's almost got them on point. Get those feet on there and you're all set to impress the grey hairs at the next session.

I actually need to practice my street plants myself. A little sloppy on the feet, but after 25+ years of skating, I'm just glad I can still do them.
