Tippett edit

Over 5 days recently, Tony Tippett, Kevin Gish, Dan Charlton and a bunch of other dudes managed to to do some roof to pool diving and rip a ton of old and new spots as well as the Westerville park. Stoked to see footage of the "Holy Banks" in Gahanna... One of my old favorite spots...

As you know, Sunday June 21st is Go Skateboarding Day. Embassy Boardshop is having a BBQ & skate jam in the parking lot of the school across the street from the shop starting at 1pm until 4pm.

Alien Workshop has provided some boxes and a flatbar to skate. There will be a game of skate, maybe some other small contests...Prizes provided by AWS, Habitat and Embassy.

Come out, shred....eat a hotdog or just hang out...

Columbus GSD update #1

Ok, so I don't really know anything about these dudes except that they are from Indiana, like skating bowls and they seem to like skulls and monsters...but the Toast Skateboard team will be rolling around Columbus on THIS coming Sunday, June 21st for Go Skateboarding Day.. The flyer says that they will be at Powell and the Flow Skateparks the Powell stop is sponsored by Old Skool skateshop...I have no clue as to why they aren't skating the Westerville park... I've also heard they are supposed to go to the Grove City park at some point..

I believe that Embassy is also having a skate Jam BBQ at the shop on the same day... I should have a flyer soon for that...

Sounds like Sunday will be a good day..

GSD at the Kettering Skate plaza (two days early)

Alien Workshop, Habitat and One Love skateshop

are having a low key Go Skateboarding Day event at the Skate Plaza in Kettering on this coming Friday June 19th 12pm-3pm. (the actual GSD is on Sunday the 21st).

No pro's in attendance this year, just skating and good times..There will be a BBQ and two contests; one on the 7 stair/rail & a manual contest on the top block.

Urbana first pics

Ricky Critchfield sent me a picture of the under construction Urbana Park... It looks small but it could be pretty fun.. Hopefully it'll be done by the opening day on June 21st..

Dodge....

I guess the Santa Cruz and Creature dudes were in Columbus while they were on the road... I don't think anyone knew about it...did they? Thrasher posted a video.....
