whoa..didnt realize all these slap pals knew about charlotte. i work at black sheep full time, if youre looking for a shop or just wanna come say hi
as for skating, Grayson sucks, full pads and the $6 is just not worth the hassle. Theres a fun prefab park in Mooresville thats probably your best bet, its at exit 36 off I-77. Free and no rules.
as for bars and stuff, the Plaza midwood area is where all the skaters live/hang out. The best bar is "elizabeth billiards" (EBs)...4 free pool tables, darts, cheap beer. great little dive bar. its also like 300 yards from my house so it makes it that much better.
if anyone wants to hang out, skate or get drunk, hit me up. im off tuesdays, fridays, and every other saturday to go skating. and after 7 when its not freezing and dark.
