Can someone help me out?  What is that giant orange ball in the sky?  I don't recognize it.

It's making stuff all warm and bright.  I'm confused, but happy.
I'm posting from my blackberry wtf?!?!?

skated the ashland blue ledges this morning, the over abundance of rocks killed it for me.  no matter how many rocks a swept away, there were always rocks that i kept majorly eating shit on.

Dropped by the Sheffield brick banks on my break the other day, there was a bunch of dudes in their late 20's/30's there killing it and having fun. If any of you were there, I was the kid in a blue button-up doing some backside nosepicks/nose pivots/whatever people call them. Fun times.

Nice! I've always seen this from the train but have always been on the way to something without my board now i know exactly where to go.  It's hard to see from the picture but can you grind the top of it?

you could grind it but it wouldn't be a stand-up-and-grind-for-a-bit kind of grind, more of a little slasher

we should all get together for a session. anyone want to suggest a time / place? i'm hella busy for the next 7 days, and weekdays tend to be better for me but i could squeeze an evening sesh in just about any time.

I saw a clip recently where a guy did 5-0 to fakie across the bank over the bench, and I was thoroughly impressed because I waxed the shit out of it a few years ago and it still stuck. I'd guess somebody bondo'd it... GOKU, confirm/deny?

Yeah, some guy was 5-0in it the other day. I don't think it's bondo'd, it's chunky as shit, you just gotta be a trooper.

I'm 99% sure but...that up ledge with angle iron by blockbuster is history right?  I haven't seen that blockbuster in awhile, i'm pretty sure it doesn't exist.

Correct, there is now a Benz dealership in its place where you can find the spot from 0:50 to 1:20
