So I’m here… in California. My mom’s cousin is putting me up and making me feel extremely at home here in Rohnert Park. I have been hanging out, bowling with Jason here and there, and skateboarding everyday. It’s usually the Santa Rosa park ’cause it’s pretty ghetto. Kid’s smoke weed and drink out of open bottles while police officers pass by making sure the bums who hang out in the park next to the skateboard park aren’t causing too much trouble. Oh, it’s funny how things work when police officers are more concerned with the escalated number of stabbings in a city than what the skater kids do at the skatepark. I love it. So I went to the Santa Rosa park the other day… which looks like this…
Thanks, burgerflipper, I stole your picture of Silas’ feet. Check out those other pictures in the Santa Rosa park album to see the gnarlitude of the park. So I went the other day and it was the craziest day at a skatepark I’ve experienced yet.
It started out with this bmx kid who must have been about 16 or 17 years old using his handlebars as a pipe to smoke weed out of. It blew my mind. We were all cracking up. It was great.
Later on in the day we all watched a fight between two drunks… one on a bicycle and one in a pick-up truck. I watched the one guy on the bike drop his bike and punch the guy driving in the face through his open window. The man in the truck then tried to run the guy on foot over for the next 10 minutes. They both eventually left, both stopped to slur some words in our direction upon leaving, one showing off his fucked up bruised cheek from the altercation (which had started a few minutes before on the other side of the park) that had left him knocked out. The man in the truck left and came back, and before leaving for good showed off three large lacerations on his forearm from “Billy”, the bruised up bicycle riding drunk, that he was given after knocking Billy out. We couldn’t believe what we just watched.
It all came to an end when a girl who had been pushing around on a cruiser board all day took out sparklers and other fireworks for some before sunset summer fun. She lit off a mortar firework that had been sitting in her glove compartment in her car for a while to bring the night to a close.
Oh, and I saw the best Cabriolet EVER in the parking lot…
Epic skatepark times.
Pictures from the drive here VERY SOON. I’m still sorting and re-sizing!
masters of the universe car! love it!
