Here’s that park I was talking about. I’m not sure if this place is in Charleston or just near it, and I never caught a name for the place other than “The Park” aka “the place you skate”. But we were pretty hyped on DMX and beer.

Just before new years I drove to Charleston, SC to hang out with Plunkett and his men. We had a lot of fun in a day and a half with Tripp, Peeler and JT. Skated around, drank at the Recovery Room and Coast brewery, and went to the local park. On my way home my cars engine blew up, Happy New Years!

Christmas is probably the best day of the year for skating in the city. A bunch of friends and I went out and took advantage of the city being pretty much empty. Here are all the leftovers and warm ups from the day. I even let Travis get behind the lens for a little bit.
Skaters Featured: Andrew Edge, Robert Burch, Travis Glover, Ben Hayes, Jordan Smith, Justin Diamond, and Austin Sneed

We started at Tampa Am and ended here after about a week of skating through some cities in Florida. We had Creation guys: Nate, Mario and Burns. Marky on Satori and pros: Dave Caddo and Ron Allen. For the younger folks who might not know who Ron is, point your eyes at Hokus Pokus and Shakle Me Not. A legend for sure. This video is a very abridged version of what really happened so I’ll bring some extended outtakes a little later. Thanks to Craig at High Grade, Bobby, and Paul Ellis for driving.

I don’t feel like putting up the sequences. I guess I could put some dumbass descriptions up.

Justin - Bash - He was really close to the edge on this one. There was one pretty sketch instance when he slammed and started to slide off.
Grant - noseblunt - We drove from amsterdam to this place, just for this. Waited on the rain to stop and the spot to dry. This is one I wish the light was better on, and it was when we first got there, but whatever, shit’s sick.
Daryl - polejam - very tall vertical jam. Why didn’t I shoot it with the back truck on the pole still? Cause it looked stupid like that.
Justin - backside flip - This is pretty damn big in person. We were riding our bikes on the way to the beach.
Grant - gap to 5050 - If you look at the very right of the photo you can see where the ledge starts (yeah, I should have loosed up the shot a little). Andy was joking saying that Grant should ollie onto the small ass ledge then quick pop over the fence to the other ledge and grind his little heart out. Another thing about this is that he backside ollied onto the first ledge… You couldn’t ollie onto it straight on because of some rubbery playground stuff they put on the beginning of the ledge.
David - bank transfer - The way he landed this is so perfect…high enough on the bank with the perfect angle so when he landed it was all in one motion.
Daryl - nosegrind revert - Why didn’t I shoot a sequence? Because Marcel did, and you can just wait for the video.
Justin - Bluntslide fakie - what, no sequence? I think Marcel did, but I just wanted a still.
