Who Skates?

[Stokely]

That Groholski is siiick. Always loved that dude.  I think one of my first Thrasher's had a photo of him grinding over vert at the Old Farm Ramp in Raleigh, NC.

Riff- I'm from Chapel Hill, are you from NC or just visiting our wonderful terrain?

the grindline park in norfolk just opened this week and it looks SICK.

Little metal fullpipes outside of Dayton, OH during a Skatopia run. 2000 I think. My board is above me in that photo. It loops in then hits me when I hit the bottom in the video. Hilarious.

brutal.  same shit happened to me at arlington washington.  i got real lucky because i landed on my back and it hit my shoulder instead of my head.  always funny in retrospect.

are you heading to wanchese for their yearly obx  cornfest blowout jam? I'm bringing a vanload down from boston for the weekend.  should be a blast!

Anyone who skates and hasn't seen the John Cardiel edition of Epically Later'd, I strongly suggest you look into it.
