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...

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..
