saturday recap

Saturday... wow what a day. Bay Creek is a truly great park. Tons of "spots" to post up on with the whole crew and session, as well as some great moderate tranny. Nothing deepeer than 8 or 9 feet, but all with amazing flow.
Good street spots and a great halfpipe/snake run...

We did the old product toss and worst deck competition for a giveaway. Locals were very very cool to us. Great hospitality.

After Bay Creek, we headed over to New Gen, the local skateshop where the dude behind the counter put up with all my vibing and jive. You're a cool cat, counter dude. Maybe someday New Gen will have the power of Fickle at their command, with a full stock. Until then, see our man Mike Mills and get your fickle boards!

on the way out, I tried to hustle a deck to this real sketchy lookin cat outside. i was trying to scrounge up gas money, you know? and it turns out to be Chernobyl! He's down with ATL SKATER and His daughter is a RRRRIIIPPPER who we got to skate with a bit last time. She RRRIps! She's mass involved with GRO And Cherny himself is one of us old guys who are johnny come lately to the rippage. Cool to see him staple-gunning the deep end!

We ended up getting to skate Bay Creek Sunday, too, and Chernobyl and I got to talk more.

you know who else we met on Saturday at Bay Creek? This rad dude George whose journey into skating is chronicled in SnakeSession videos. This dude is epic. I mean in terms of the radness of never quit skateboarding and the panoramic of great beating hearts that quicken to the sound of thane on tranny, this guy's a GREAT. George, you inspire us to keep rolling, whether on wheels or head over heels!

So Bay Creek, right around the corner from New Gen, is a cool spot.
