Best Trick obstacle was the wedge in Ashbridges Skatepark. Looks like it's time for some new graffiti.

The Big O is currently under dirt

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Monday, August 27, 2012

The Big O is currently under dirt right around the corner from the Contest. They moved it to a new area to keep it skateable, but some kind of engineering damage happened on the property which caused delays in having it ready to rip.

The smell of the great outdoors fills the Copenhagen Skatepark with all this freshly cut lumber everywhere. That combined with sounds of birds chirping being played through the sound system makes for quite a scene when you first set foot in the park. It's not open today, but will be open on Friday at noon for practice before the Qualifiers start at 4pm.

Back at the skate park, the progress from just the two days we were there seemed to be moving very quickly.

Atlanta's DIY Spot Chicken Coop

By Porpe, Posted on Friday, April 27, 2012

When I first saw the photo of Grant Taylor's ollie I couldn't comprehend how he landed back on it due to how skinny it is. It isn't saying much, but it took me a couple tries just to roll over this thing.

Grant Taylor has made this thing famous with an ollie photo that will never be forgotten.

I want to see Grant Taylor transfer from one end of this obstacle to the other.

When we rolled up people were hanging out, drinking beers, and grilling out. Nothing but good vibes in the Chicken Coop.

I also hear this place is constantly evolving. Yonnie Cruz mentioned that the red up and down ledge was not there two weeks prior.

headed to this newish P-Rod Park

By Ryan Clements, Posted on Monday, January 30, 2012

Dan headed to the airport and Justin and I headed to this newish P-Rod Park to get in one last session before dark. From there I drove down to Encinitas and Justin headed to LAX and back to Tampa.

Turtle Ditch in Tampa

A small sample of the complete crap spots us oldies in Tampa skate. So fun. Don't try to build anything here though. The gub'ment will smash it.

Apollo Beach Skatepark Prelim Design

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Monday, November 7, 2011

Why don't city owned basketball, football, and baseball fields coach nanny on staff making you sign a waiver and wear a jock strap? For some reason, cities today still think pad nannies are needed for skateboarding. Apollo Beach is next up to be forward thinking enough to build a skate park, but keeping roots in gub'ment assbackwardsness and making it fenced in with waivers and pads required. Oh well, here's the preliminary design by Team Pain. Looks pretty good, you think?

Thanks for the run of the facility, Nike TF

Thanks for the run of the facility.
