It’s time for the pre-4th of July fireworks, known as GSD! June 21 is time to show up and blow up at your local skatepark!!!
Celebrate the Joy of FREE PUBLIC concrete skateparks, all around Georgia.(I’m told I’m not allowed to name a certain free public skatepark)
so load up your picnic basket, grab a few ice cold sports drinks, come on out and enjoy the day riding skateboards.
it’s all about having fun.

on a positive note…the Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico has not resulted in any harm to the Gulf’s Walrus population!

summertime…and the skatepark’s getting crowded. and annoying…
here’s some simple things to make you a better person to be around:

SK8 trick tips…Don’t give’em, if you can’t do the trick yo’self! (unless you simply enjoy being a KOOK)

oh…and if you gotta’ ask, well then NO-you’re NOT good enough to be sponsored. Skate for the LOVE of skateboarding, or KILL YO’SELF!

that’s all for now.

just about every afternoon, the “international community” of Athens has their soccer league tournaments at Bishop Park. Go check it out…these are serious competitions amongst dozens of players…enjoying the freedom to meet at a public park and enjoy their favorite activity. It’s pretty cool…
somehow, they’re referred to as “pickup games”.

at Memorial Park, as you go to see the baby bears in the zoo…you’ll pass the basketball courts, where dozens of B-ballers meet up and play a tough game of hoops. I don’t see parents dropping their kids off to join in the games…heh heh heh.
these are referred to as “pickup games”. sounds safe enough, yeah?

at southeast park, if a group of skateboarders wants to meet up and ride skateboards at the skateboard park…they’re being referred to as “renegade events”. (unless they seek permission and have “event insurance”?)
I guess you can’t have a “pickup game” of skateboarding.
pretty cool, ACC seems to be trying to keep the act of skateboarding a “bad boy” activity.
renegades….PUH-LEEEEEZE!!!
