Street Skating Kyle is over and has a poor wittle tummy ache so I'm abandoning my living room shortly.
Here's a couple of pics from Ireland a few years back. I went to Belfast with 6th Ave to put on a contest to help raise money for a conrete park. Evidently, they had a wooden one before hand, but it was burned to the ground by a local drunk that didn't like skating. The kids over there were gnarly, real gnarly. For starters, they pay double for skate product. Second,most of them ride the most busted setups, wheels all falling off and shit. Third, they don't listen to cops, in fact they try to fight most of them. Fourth, citizens kick you out of spots, citizens...
Yep, it's a contest
Hell yeahhh....
This was 2nd try. The first one almost got my ass kicked by a rather large cop who looked like he could have been named Nigel or Brick. When he noticed I took a pic of his car, he came down a one way street in reverse and proceeded to tell me ,"You shouldn't have done that boy" while being 6 inches from my face and looking me dead in the eye. Evidently the police have a problem with gangs such as the IRA killing all their officers. If I would have had an irish accent, I would have definitely landed myself in some shit.
The bloods and crips don't have shit on these dudes. We found ourselves in the middle of some sort of IRA march. Yeah, these guys are old as shit, but the fact they just closed down a road without notice is ill. That cop is only providing an illusion of safety. On many walls, huge murals were painted of dudes holding huge weapons with some sort of hate/pride filled message underneath.
Do people really buy this shit?
Freaks
Jordan is a handrail champ. The locals had some weird name weird name for this spot like "the godmother" or something similar. Jordan's one of the only people to be able to pull anything on this. He also feebled it.
