Monday me and Kyle Schmidt tride to skate the aluminum benches at the basketball courts in North Wales. There was a group of young kids there who had a skateboard and were playing basketball. They wanted to try out our boards and pretty much try everything we were trying haha. The one kid saw kyle waxing the benches and decided he wanted to do it. So for the rest of the time that little kid waxed the benches haha. After that we headed to Collin Fegals ramp. We had a good sesh and then kyle had to go.
I headed over to wedge after that. Joey Paone got a really sick bluntslide trick on the little bank if like 10 tries. He got real close to bs noseblunt sliding the big bank off the kicker. Joey Christoffers had this crazy set up on the quaterpipe. He set up the barrier on top of the quarterpipe and was trying to tailslide it but it kept sliding back. We tried a bunch of different ways so it wouldnt move. Erik even sat behind it and put his feet up against so it wouldnt move haha. It wasnt really working out so he gave up on that. I like to see creative stuff like that though.
Then I filmed erik do a line with a sick manny trick over the barrier onto the marble pad. Evan Howie got a nice single trick over the barrier onto the marble pad.
Thursday morning me and kyle hit up the Patrick Kerr skatepark. It was sick having the park to ourselves. I grinded the coping in the deep end of the bowl. Im sure a lot of people can do that but I was excited. Ive never skated a bowl like that.
Friday the 18th was jims birthday! happy 19th jim!
Saturday it was real nice out and it was Collin Bauders birthday! Happy birthday Collin! We skated wedge all day. Jimmy landed on bs lipslide kickflip out on the brick ledge. He got so close but didnt ride away from one. Hes gonna try it again soon. Chop got real close to nollie backlip fs 270 out. That trick looks so ackward to do. Kevin Pham got a nice fs 5-0 to front board on the brick ledge. Brian Panebianco got a crazy trick on the white bench.
Sunday we took a trip to Bethlehem. It was myself, Erik Mangal, Collin Bauder, Joey Christoffers, Collin Welch and Cory Quigley. Cory was showing us around and the first spot he took us to was real sick. There is a curb launch thing that goes down a really steep hill.
The first trick in this clip edited and filmed by Cory Quigley shows the spot
Right across the street from sidewalk spot there was this sick handrail at this school. Right as we were warming up cory was skating the little stairs next to the handrail. He landed and shot out and his board started going towards the street right as a car was coming down the street. Cory was chasing after the board but couldnt get to it in time. The car ran over the tail and board shot up into the air and smashed right into this other parked car. It was insane! it was so close to hitting cory and when he looked at the car he saw the board smashed the rearview mirror. We were out of there real fast after that.
Then we checked out the Bethlehem library. There is a lot of cool architecture there and in the whole city. Collin and Joey tried the double set there but it was real long with rough runway and landing. They got real close. Cory and Collin skated this ledge thing where you ride on a skinny ledge and ollie over a rail. Collin was getting close to heelflip and Cory got a bs 180. Then a cop showed up and luckily he was pretty cool and didnt give us any problems. He just told us to leave.
After that we spot searched for a while and found a downhill ledge. Right as we were getting kicked out Joey did a nice front tail on it. After that we checked out the local shop Homebase. I was surprised how nice it was. They had a really good selection of everything you would want and they were really cool people. They tried to tell us where some spots were but we had trouble finding them so after driving around in the sands casino parking lot looking for spots we drove back home.
Before I dropped Cory off we went over to the barrier spot me, bauder, and anthony krystopa made so Cory could film a trick. It was pretty dark and Cory's trucks were really bad. On the first go he hit the ramp wrong and flew over the barrier haha. It was pretty halarious. After a few more tries he got his trick and we called it a day. Overall a pretty good weekend of skating.
Featuring Alex Robinson, Jimmy Simpson, Collin Welch, Cory Quigley and Joey Christoffers. Corys fall still makes me laugh haha
