i hear they got a county fair every 6 months. watch out for their harvest fest too, old mick peterson got a little funny last year from all the cider he was drinking

Dang, I heard about that. Lil Edgar told me that he heard Mick went wee wee in one of the bumper cars, and that when the kids would bump him his car would slosh around and he'd yell something about being on the teacup ride. Lil Edgar's a bit of a liar though.

Maybe Lil Edgar told you the same story? He's a real chatterbox that one. Once he told me that he snuck into Mrs. McGlasky's house through the back door. He was going to steal some cookies or something bad like that and then she came home so he had to hide in the pantry. He told me that he watched her wash the same dish for 3 hours straight through the pantry keyhole before he could sneak out. Serves the bugger right.

connecticut kinda sucks, not gonna lie. some good skateparks and shit, but theres not really too much to do except go skate shitty spots and skateparks and smoke weed and walk around in the woods. while your here you should check out stamford skatepark, its about 35 minutes out of the city and its super fun.

hit rob campbell up on myspace (hood legend), tell him you run a company/have a business proposal for him, and that you would be interested in having him show you around

Alexander · « **Reply #14 on:** February 02, 2009, 03:38:45 PM »

Actually, try your best to stay away from Rob Campbell. More words of knowledge for my boy DevilOnEnzyte

Cool.

Its a pleasure trip all the way.
I wanna get away from LA for a week. Got so many family problems going on, I need a trip somewhere far away and somewhere I have always wanted to go, so NYC it is. I have a few friends in Westport, CT, so im staying there. But we'll pribally just get a hotel in NYC and enjoy it there the whole time.

yeah we try and hit up the city at least once a week. bridgeport and stamford as cities are okay skating wise, but the stamford park hasnt been open. CT is just boring in general especially down here. cant wait till im out of here.

DevilOnEnzyte · « **Reply #22 on:** February 05, 2009, 07:55:07 PM »

I'm definitley spending the majority of my time in NYC.

I just need a trip to get away for a week.
So much bad has been happening, that I need a vacation.
My dads dying, i'm fighting a dui, moms sick also, blah blah blah.

what are you talkin about im 5'5 white and live in bed stuy, nobody fucks with you during the day especially if youre on a skateboard people love skateboarders out here. and the farther north in brooklyn you go the nicer it is, greenpoint is the farthest north you can go and thats the chillest neighboorhood in brooklyn, just dont act like a dick and youll be fine.

Maybe my sense of direction is off...I wouldn't wander too far in any direction out of the williamsburg comfort zone, maybe I'm just a paranoid naive idiot but I've been confronted before by what you would consider a gang of people, a friend of mine got beat up for his shirt and another got beaten up for his skateboard. These are all seperate occasions btw...and they all took place in broad dalight. I mean, we were all 15/16 at the time, and be no means am I trying to scare people away from exploring different areas on their skateboard, but we both know its a place where if anything does go wrong anyone who is there to witness it will turn the other cheek.

so true. brooklyn can get kind of rough and no one plays the hero out there, just about everybody looks the other way.
i got chased buy 8 dudes on bushwick ave by the gates ave station.
4 dudes on bikes, 4 dudes on pegs with baseball bats talking about, you gotta a dollar! give me a dollar! i couldn't hear them at first because i was on my board, then i turned aruond and they were closing in on me.
i hauled ass! i never skated so fast in my entire life!

biggums mcgee · « **Reply #27 on:** February 06, 2009, 01:39:24 PM »

sorry...I couldn't help but laugh...dudes on pegs gets me every single time!

UncleBobo · « **Reply #28 on:** February 06, 2009, 02:21:13 PM »

haha kids from bushwick used to come thru to my neighberhood with there boys on pegs strapped with a wiffle ball bat stealing all our sick DYNOS, bikes were ill at one point

H8R part 4 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 06, 2009, 02:39:03 PM »

i wish they were packing wiffle ball bats!
i would've....i would've.......well, i would've still ran!
