This Thursday, August 5th, the Glory Bound Skatepark Tour will be stopping by Evolution Skatepark in Canton. Mike Vallely, Duane Peters, Bill Danforth, Christian Svitak, and Cyril Jackson will be coming through with some full tilt skateboarding annihilation. From the video above it looks like a ripping good time!!!
Correction… for some reason it looks like the tour will not be stopping at Evolution!
Windows and Doorways premiered in combination with an excellent art show on Broadway if I remember correctly. It was a great crowd and a really fun night. I don’t think I saw Johnny’s part that night though because of an issue with the DVD. Here it is for anyone else who missed it.
Slavic Village Development is going to be having their Walk and Roll this Sunday July 25th. They are closing the streets to autos so they can be opened to bicycles, skateboards, pedestrians, and there is even a call for stilts! Public Square Group and Redbull are going to provide some ramps and you can even bring up your own.
There will be bicycle tours of the neighborhood every 30 minutes beginning at 1:30 and after the Walk and Roll ends there will be a concert and picnic in Washington Reservation (3841 Washington Park Blvd) sponsored by Councilman Anthony Brancatelli.
Here’s some footage from Woodward of the Worlds Largest Skateboard. Joe Ciaglia, owner of California Skateparks, took the thing for a solo ride down a hill and had to pull the ripcord before the behemoth board smashed into what looks like a giant dirt jump.
This video is great, I watched it like ten times and laughed harder each time I played it. The best part is that I probably would have tried the same thing. The only difference is I would have been run over. Thanks for the laughs Joe, glad you’re not dead.
Qfo and his buddies are at it again. They are the ones mainly responsible for the Queen Ave (Fun Wall) spot. Since the locals were not exactly supportive of their work over there they picked a more hospitable location this time. If you have ever been by the spot in Tremont where Abbey Ave runs under 90 you know that it’s the perfect place for a skate spot. Lot’s of room, protected from weather, and super close to tons of trendy over-priced restaurants.
They’ve been at it for a couple days and the picture above is the progress so far. As you can see this is probably the best location for a skatepark in the entire city. If anyone wants to chip in materials or time just comment on here or send us an email at info@savemefromordinary.com.
