Leave philly at 10p.m. friday. get to bed at 5:30a.m. saturday on a floor with a towel for a blanket. 8:30 we are up and skating. Tons of Dudes, lots of cameras, too many laughs to count.

long car ride made easier with a good ol’ etch-a-sketch

it quickly turned into a game of “here, hold this for a picture, but you cant read it”

ray has a great sense of humor (sometimes). he can laugh at a name created out of a serious situation. (if you dont know what the nickname “speed bag” came from you dont know ray)

classic

early a.m. first stop

dont just assume cuz it wasnt me

next stop…and it was a short one

a real short stop for obvious reasons

4″ high approach, tons of concrete and steel…CONGRATULATIONS…you built the only pile of shit that will withstand the next terrorist attack

this place fucking rules

one look at this 8 yr old kids grip tape and i realized the little fucker was calling me out…

the parking lot for this park is also shared by a huge pool with a water slide and high dive. the locals call it their pool, i would call it a toilet and shower for a bunch of out of town sweaty skaters

on the road again

this place fucking rules and is 20 min away from the last.

after about an hour a tsunami hit

rep your colors

more of “here hold this”

this is what happens when you leave your camera in the car while going into the gas station for a drink

a “textbook” body

hate to break it to ya but peep the ring on his finger…..he is taken

sunday a.m.

8 feet wide… 5 feet deep…steep as fuck..this little waste of space is tighter than your 10yr old girlfriend

Park Builder #1: “hey, the park is all finished, whats in this box?”

Park Builder #2: “oh yeah, the handrail we ordered”

Total piece of junk, steeper than most ladders. next time, just forget it

NEXT

huge bowls, a cradle and a place tie your horse

some call it vandalism, some call it art, either way whoever drew this masterpiece i will call “pure genius”

crunches

birdseye burtleman

to the builders of this park…next time take your leftover concrete with you or just make statue of a pile of crap

still reppin

on the way home…from the highway you can see this place

ironically i slammed in the bowl directly on my ipod and broke my headphones during this…

double shaka

“here hold this” on the way home

pic is too dark but it was only the beginning. i wish you could see the sweat on his forehead. stuck in dead stopped traffic on a major highway his asshole was puckering

all lanes stopped means entertainment for everyone. (video documented)

look at that sigh of relief?….roadside blowouts is why god made socks

all this in 2 days. great crew, great times. all parks were free and pretty much within 20 min of each other. leave your helmets at home.
