DIY spots

   Well, you can't go to the skate park anymore without either wearing a helmet (let's face it you probably aren't going to do that) or keeping extremely good watch out for cops. I got my first helmet ticket last Saturday and it seems I only hear of more and more police presence at the park these days. You can move to another city or you can just say fuck it and make some fucking spots!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to just come out and say it, street skaters here in Halifax, we're all lazy! That's me included for the most part. It would be nice if spots fixed themselves and fell out of the sky perfect but they don't. So the other day we went and actually did something. Grabbed a piece of coping, some plastic blue stuff and some screws and made a spot.

 

We packed the coping into Dratwa's car, risking mine and Plumbers lives had their been any sort of collision.

The finished product.

 So there you have it folks. A sexy bank to bench, LA school yard style. Get ready for excessive media coverage. So many ads, spreads, sequences....oh wait...the spot is in Halifax. If you find it you can skate it. If your cool, you already know where it is.
