By the way, I'm coining the phrase "Background Titties" if it hasn't already been done.

If I ever use it in the future, rest assured you are getting full cred my man.

The beach volleyball courts behind there should also be topless.

Be careful what you wish for. That could easily backfire on you.

Not the way I see it.?  Yes, the likelihood of seeing some spectacular tits is slim.?  However, you may see something so gross, that you would surely tell your friends about it repeatedly.?  Upgrading your storytelling cache.
Or perhaps you are filming a line at the park, pan out to some BGT's.?  ? That will be a lot of peoples new favorite clip.?

So what is the actual story with SR trying to get a park built at Grant Park?

A new organization with the sole intent of making Chicago better for skaters by providing them with more places to skate that are of higher quality. SR is a possible candidate for the renovation of the Grant Park Plaza. This was a first draft of a sample design for the space.

More official news on the organization coming soon. Like the Girl/Chocolate video, but with less slow-motion.

That'd be pretty sick if it was. Can anyone confirm this? Also, does anyone get hyped when they're at a spot that was in a video?

*Looked at the back of the cop car. It's definitely Elk Grove, but I'm not sure if that's for EGV or Elk Grove, CA.

EDIT
I just realized I quoted this without saying anything.  I'm pretty sure it's elk grove, ca, because when they were in town elijah's head wasn't shaved.

That Green Rail is in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, it is at a church and is now knobbed.  The Priest lives in the building right above the rails and flips a nut when people skate it. Steve Perez's boardslide for the chocolate ad is the same spot and is nuts

Yeahhh, I was like "Infighting in the Chicago thread? Really guys (and papasmurfdog)?" Glad to see we're all friends again!

[Joust Ostrich]

I was just going to tell him that I wasn't fat.

Do you guys know how awesome the Davenport, IA park is?  It really fucking rules.  24 hour stadium lights.  Drive, skate from 11=3 am, smile all the way home.

Just looked that park up. Wayyy too sick. That looks like some Portland/Pacific NW shit.

[shit_for_brains]

so i'm moving to chicago the 1st, haven't been on my board for some time, and have a full time job. what does a dude do to get it together again?

Where are you moving from/moving to?

I just came up from Florida like a month or so ago, Philly for a long time before that. Was down in the middle of nowhere taking care of my dad for the longest two years of my fucking life. I live with some bags of shit in Wicker Park but it's an alright spot. I've been down the road to uprise once or twice and just been pushing around the streets here and there. I'm 30 and haven't done any serious skating in like 3 years.

It pains me to say, but I'm nervous as fuck about getting back into it. I can't even comfortably push anymore.

[The Muffin Man]

^^ Go to Northbrook in the morning. Super mellow and fun, and going before noon = empty.

[rlang]

Anybody have an address of the brink banks in Evanston (similiar to Sherridan Banks) right by the lake, or a google map?  I forget.  Gracias.

Sure do.  Been there twice.  So much fucking fun.

[shit_for_brains]

Probably going to check out Northbrook tomorrow, if any of you other old pieces of shit are interested.

If you find them, let me know. I need places to skate during school.

I would be down for weekends, like friday, saturday and sunday(except this weekend). If you plan on going really early in the morning, I would be down, but I have to be at work around 10 and it could take like 40 minutes to get there from the park.

Sounds good, I'll probably be fumbling my way in around 9 depending on traffic

What's Wilson like in the early hours? Thinking about going over there either before or after the weekend.

I've gone there during the school year with my buddy and skated from about 8 to 10:15. Nothing except a mother who brought her 6 year old to roll around for like, 10 minutes.

I plan to attend college next year in Chicago. And skate that gnarly very wall by the bay.
