The Wet Spot (or: I am not a builder and neither are you)
I was ready to hit Al Town for a stress relief sesh after work. What I came to find was the spot still wet from the rain of the last couple days. The only place that looked dry was from the tusk to the wall. All good. I've made a full, fun sesh with less. I figured I'd skate the tusk, get a grind or two and call it an early night.
Until I was informed that some dismantling of an ill-made quarter was happening.
Let me be the first to say that I am NOT a builder, and I won't even fake it that I am.
Obviously, someone else isn't a builder either.
Kudos to Sam and the crew for taking this down before it became a more permanent problem.
I hope that all the skaters who use Al Town (part deux) can come together and work on the project as a whole rather than doing random things. This is a great opportunity to learn the craft and art of making skateable obstacles (and enjoy them once they're built).
I am stoked on what has been built as a group so far. The skaters who have done this have taken a seemingly wasted space and turned it into a place where skaters can come together. I sincerely hope it stays that way.
