One of the last sessions at Salamander Ranch DIY before they had to tear it down due to city regulations.
Overall it was a great day. Had a good turnout raffled everything except few shirts. The bands came later and rocked. Might have to do another in spring.
I made my dream to go to California and skate pools and ride pipes one year ago.
Skaters are just naturally creative. Every time we step on a board we are creating something by pushing and doing a trick. We see the world differently than the rest of the world. We see objects in the street and think, “damn, I need to skate that”! So it’s just makes sense that many skaters have picked up an instrument and formed bands. We need to express our artistic and creative nature through these avenues. “Switch Blades and Urethane” fest is just an extension of that unison between skaters and music.
On this episode of “Concrete Corner” Clayton Graul shows us the basic tools to build your own DIY skate spot.
I started going to meetings and pitching the idea for a skate park in my home town of Valley Center, California about five years ago. At that time they, parks and rec., said there was no money for something like that so I didn’t pursue it for another year, until I saw a sign for and new sports field to be built.
The killer Halloween bash was another epic success at The Humpbowl.
My son Thomas called me at home and told me there was a spot that he thought we could build on. It turns out it’s this neighbor kid Lucas’s house. I really didn’t like this kid much. It seemed to me that they were always fighting, but I rode my bike down there anyway to see what was up. It turns out it was a piece of property that his Grandpa gave him.
