Real Talk. SkateBlock.


SkateBlock has it all, Son. Every angle covered. Heshgnar to flatbar. Bluntslides and wallrides, straight up.

Let me break it down for you...

SPOT 1.)
This here is the tranny section of SkateBlock. It's all a hesh build..scraps and junk. This is where the coping bites back and getting tossed is to be expected.






SPOT 2.)
Just a few feet away we have the Tech Center where all ones technical skateboarding via block/ledge and manual tricks can be practiced to precise perfection.





The one above is on a bump.



SPOT 3.)
Also located nearby are two seperate wallride spots. The smooth walled one is on a wheelchair access bump and the curb one is pretty self explanatory.




SPOT 4.)
Here we have the good ol planter gap. I've lived here with this bitch staring at me from across the street for 4 years now. I've taken 5 or 6 drunken attempts at it in the dark, and so far...nada. not even close. With only a few token attempts by others and one very serious mountain bike enthusiast who endo'd onto his teeth over it,I havent seen anyone do this thing yet. I'm fucking waiting, people..I know the run up is awkward...and blind..and bumpy...and the landing is ringed with flagstone with a guywire sorta in the middle..but, lets get on this.





Theres tons of other stuff around SkateBlock, too. a pole jam a block away, some bump to gaps that people keep showing up to film stuff on down the street, a lot of spots you saw in the Jivaro video, some jersey barriers, a slappy curb...it just never ends 'round hurr.
