I recently moved down to Jax and am trying to hook into the scene.
I live close to the Mecca of skating, Kona, which was a blast to see for the first time, but we really need to bring it back to life.
Downtown is chill, but a boom or bust and no real central plaza like back in the day of Love or EMB.
San Pablo in Jacksonville Beach has a pretty chill $500,000 taxpayer funded park, but, of course, like every Payne park is heavy on the tranny and not a chill plaza style that would bring in the kids to congregate and have fun.
Of course, none of that is going on right now, bu I would love to get in touch with the scene.
If Buck Smith is out there, give me a shout, let's enjoy a 16 pack of Busch and relive the glory days, I have one of your old "Buck Notes" decks with Gullwings and Vision Shredder wheels.
Clyde, if you are around, I met one of your cousins or so he said at the Bay Meadows InTown and he owes me a sweet sativa oil electro pen, lol.
Anyone else, like the kids at Permission or Monument or the fellas I rode down the bridges with at Five AM last Sunday give me a shout out as well.
Shalom,
J.
