Fickle Boards Remembers our trip to Savannah in the wonderful "SuperBee" Bus. Cue Flamethrower's "Superbee". Shut up and ride the superbee. Cue Tony Trujillo's Van's Promo, second song...
One of our first stops in the Savannah area is The Yard.
The Yard will kill you.
The Yard hates you.
The Yard loves to hate you.
You Must Skate The Yard!
Will Boatwright was our intrepid guide on this visit to The Yard. Thank You Will Boatwright! Fickle History was made that day. And many thanks to the Savannah-Area-Boatwrights! A clan of distinction, practising true Southern hospitlality. We were fed and cared for like family for not a small number of nights' stay!
Something you don't see in these pics is how many screw heads are sticking out... how warped and weathered the wood is... and how ridiculously SLICK and bowed up the white plastic surfacing is..
and it's all rad. go there.
We all appreciate Will's taking us down there to meet up with Joe Burdick, our SAV area rep. We will soon have wood on the way down there and be shredding on the regs down there with the good folks at Woody's Skate Shop. Get on their site and check out "Thelma and Louise".
But The Yard is insane and if you get a chance, and you know who to ask, and you got some dough to slip in the doorslot, you can skate it and have a great time... even though you're going to get torn up and broke off... Try some softer wheels, maybe...
