Who Dat?
The local neighborhood kids wanted to learn how to skate, so we borrowed them our boards. One of the raddest things to come out of skateboarding, is exemplified in this very photo.

This spot is no joke. It has this gnarly bank to ledge, but if you lose your board, it's gone. Markus Jalaber taking risks with this back tail.
