Had a blast yesterday! Rolled up to the skate park to catch some of the dope competition action. I was pleasantly supprised at all the local Folly supporters! The sun was out, beverages were had, and people were soaking it up via bike and board! Check out some of the photos below of the happening throughout the day.
I meet up with Matt Uptain and Chris Rost to cruise downtown later on in the evening. These dudes were killing it!!There was an “art walk” going on in the area, which ended up being pretty fun to ride through (dodging people traffic is always entertaining to me). The spot that Chris wanted to hit was all blocked by cars due to the event, so we headed to the “water gap” (aka “Uptain gap”). Matt has been dreaming about clearing this for a bit! He approached it several times only to stop and re-evaluate his speed, making sure he had enough to dominate this beast. After several approaches, you could see it in his eyes… he was ready to commit! He backed up, started hauling full speed… only to be stopped by this duck that “conveniently” placed itself right where Matt was going to land. Talk about breaking the vibe!! It took a couple more approaches, then, low and behold… Matt clears it by close to 3 feet LOL! Dude was a freaking speed demon hauling through the downtown park! Solid gap clearing abilities Matt! Well done sir.
Shortly after I got the photo of Matt via iPhone, I had to skate off and meet with our screen printer to conjure up some sweet new apparel for your wearing pleasure! That was good and creative, then headed off to the good ol’ Taco Bus, and devoured one of these! Shortly after… Go Skate Day was over cuz I was passed out. Very good and productive day!
