Go Skateboarding Weekend - Part 2

So we all woke up the next morning in Jay's Dad's house. This place was great! He built it himself and used the river rocks from the property in the building process. He has an 1840's like saloon in the basement and wood heated boiler system. Too cool! The guy even made us pancakes in the morning. It was a bit of a free-for-all and Calabro stole my damn pancake but it was cool anyway. Thanks sooooo much to Jay and his dad for all the hospitality!!

Cappetto finally surfaced too!! We all headed out to the Akron skatepark for the Vans BBQ. We hung out, gave out stickers, watched a kickflip contest and some of us skated the cool DIY Q-pipe. Jay put on a great event for his home town park and kids. We broke off from the group after 1pm because the weather was not looking good and I was really needing to get to Powell, OH. I regretfully did not even get my camera out for this part of the trip.

So, the LL group headed south.

I was crabby as hell because I was lacking coffee and toilet paper, Calabro needed his meds and Cappetto hates donuts. We got what we needed and were ready to embark on the next chapter. But then the asphalt crew was blocking the only entrance out of the area... I was soooo pissed, that I drove up a hill, found an open area and did the banzai in the FIt down some old path... Ha Ha!! Got through!

We got to skate both Powell and Grove City. Two excellent parks. Soooooo good!! The Great thing about Powell is that it has a real swimming pool. Complete with a love seat, deathbox and stairs. Oh, and the shallow end is something like 4' deep with 3' of vert! Seriously, so it was not easy to skate. It took quite a while to get used to the transitions. We had a great time. It was funny because we ran into this crew that was all from Cincinnatti. I actually knew one of the guys and the rest of the group were cool. So we all seshed this pool together!! Good stuff!

We went to Grove City after a few hours of goodness but it rained. SO, we waited it out and luckily the storm went on and we dried the park out. Grove City is RAD and anyone that goes there will not be disapointed. I highly recommend both Powell and Grove City to any concrete addict.
