We mourn the loss of a fellow skater. Scuba shows some love here (we welcome anyone to say a word), and brings up a college fun set up for his daughter. If you don’t read Scuba’s message, at least make sure you write this down, and donate if you can.

Drive… Sunday April 22
EPISODE FOUR “SOUTH PART II – SMALL TOWNS”
Mike continues his travels through the southern United States visiting a series of small towns along the way. In White Hall, Arkansas Mike meets up with 18-year-old Todd Givens who created his own skate scene by building ramps in his driveway, so local skaters would have a place to ride. In Hammond, Louisiana Mike meets up with skaters Kerry Simpson and Neal Boyd to discuss the impact Louisiana’s first public cement park has had on their skate scene. Finally, Mike stops in Oxford, Mississippi to skate the cities public park with a group of local kids.
Check these pics out… our homie got himself a fancy little DSLR, and is now sharing a nice grip of photos from Hammond, Lulling, and beyond… sickness!
I just got back from a conference at LA Tech in Ruston, Louisiana and found a bunch of killer spots that seem to be untouched for the most part. Check the pics here.
Smallside, Louisiana’s only concrete skatepark (and one of only a few Dreamland parks in the south) turned two years old today.
A World Without Skateboarders… a great write up brought to you by Jim Gray, the owner of ABC Skateboard manufacturing… pressed and cut in the USA.
