Have pros ever ruined your local spot ?

[GroovySinner]

I went to school by staples center and it was never really a bust until the girl and chocolate teams came through for like 3 days in a row while filming for pretty sweet and basically caused staples to knob those perfect ledges and all the other ledges around the outside making skating staples really boring now in my opinion. All we have now is a manual pad and stairs.

Steve Berra ruined the last weekend at Love for the locals.

[sluggers]

Jahmal Williams ruined all of Boston even before PJ.

We just all focused our decks and quit.

Not a pro but somebody who thought very highly of themselves/was basically one of the top looks of greater sydney who didn't understand his nickname "the hero" was completely sarcastic once came to a DIY we had just finished building and proceeded to skate around at top speed.
We kept like physically blocking him and being like oi stop it's not ready but he had massive headphones on and just thought everyone was like trying to watch him skate and accidentally getting in his way or something.
After maybe ten mins he stops for a second and before we can tell him to fuck off he's instantly like yeah How'd you guys find out about this spot? my friends built it all to which one of our group responds you're not our fucking friend but he didn't understand.
Finally we get him and were like yeah don't skate all the stuff it's not ready and he says something like it's ok I'm pro I can handle it.

ah I don't know any Hugo (altho I guess one of the group could be called Hugo, don't know all their names). Kinda don't want to say his name because apparently he's ok now but for years him and his crew were just the worst. Like think they were putting on a demo everytime they skated a park.

Greg Lutzka got a photo wearing a fedora on this rail in my neighborhood. The spot lost all credibility that day.

Steve Berra ruined the last weekend at Love for the locals.

And never paid out any money

[igrindtwinkies]

I've never lived anywhere near black rock but it's safe to say that the GX guys blew that out.

I ruined Pulaski by not bringing beer and pizza to the locals, but I'm not pro tho

[KGB]

I've skated pulasksi a bazillion times and never once seen someone bring beer and pizza to the locals. It's not burnside, you don't have to pay off the people that live under the bridge, you just have to be sensible and not a asshole.

Elijah Berle put a bike lock on my local park flatbar until his insta edit dropped

[Francis Xavier]

Mike V was at my local and didn't recite any poetry there

[Madam, I'm Adam]

Mike V was at my local and didn't recite any poetry there

Damn that sucks. A session without listening to Mike v’s poetry is like eating a hot dog without a bun.

I especially like his most feted and known poem, “A Treatise on Physical Harmony,” which goes as follows:

Roses are red
Your eye’s black and blue
Your urine is crimson
I beat the shit outta you

Yeah I feel like the whole pizza and beer thing was something that people took way too literally

[deathturd]

The amount of unnecessary bondo jobs pros have been doing in my state is getting out of hand.

[HiResDes]

we had a spot w/ smooth ground until Gershon fell doing flatground and the sweatstain outline hasn't evaporated yet. it's now a water gap known as Great Salt Lake and woe to any who falls in there.

Tompkins gets ruined like that often, skating it empty is a whole different experience

not ruined by Eli Reed tho, he's really really chill

[greenbeans]

Idk if this counts but Nike SB team came to my hometown and after street skating this one spot, forgot which but I will see if I can find it, the owner of the property was pissed for all the marks but they went back to paint it.

I went and skated flat at Tompkins when I was in NY for work, and Eli was there and was so nice.  My trucks had some serious jiggle so I skated over to some mystical figure sitting on a bench and digging in his backpack.  He looked up and it was Eli Reed…I was shocked.  He was cool as hell though and gladly lent his skatetool and made small talk.

Fully back his weird ass dance shit he’s got going on these days

[MOE SYZLAK]

Markovich ruined one of my favorite local indoor parks with his shitty art all over the walls…

When you're laying in bed at night, replaying the highlight reel of dumb shit you've said in your life, just remember Slap is still quoting a dumb Worrest joke from 3 years ago.

You wont get chased out if you come empty handed or anything, and its not like back in the day where you'd get vibed out of the place. BUT You'll def have a better time if you come bearing gifts.

I was at Burnside back in September and there were numerous parents watching their fully padded 8 year olds learn to skate there.
