For real, today, celebrate! Nick has been in Freetown, Sierra Leone for the past few months and he has been documenting heavily. Just reading it gives me a greater appreciation for everything I have. He got really sick while he was out there, but made it through, and should be home soon.
It’s July fourth, and this week marks year 9 since I moved to Philly, from Buffalo, NY. I moved to Albuquerque for almost 2 years, but came back. I’m about to head to FDR, sprinkles or not.
A great time was had by all!
Did some assholes ruin FDR again this year? That’s one event I am ALWAYS glad to miss.
I was there from like 12:30-3:30 and it was surprisingly chilled out. I actually got to skate for a bit. Dudes were fucking killing it.
I was there until the end, and the whole fucking day was GRRRREEAAAT!
Ki, nobody ruined FDR this year. Nothing in this post eludes to that, one bit. Yea, shit got ugly two years ago, but since then, the kooks have pretty much stayed away and it’s been very low key. There is still some FDR family that comes out and tries there best to have a good time. Ki, why you bringing up old shit?
I just want to add that nick is fearless and I hope the rest of his trip goes well.
Uh…cause my friend got his face slashed one year….It sucked…Yeah, I am bringing it up..So what? Why are you getting on my case? Is it my fault people don’t police there own spot? Nope.
I don’t know that you can put the blame on the few dozen FDR locals for not “self-policing”. Two years back when things got fucked up the Philadelphia CityPaper printed a preview article a week before about how FDR was the place to be on the 4th. No wonder thousands (literally) of douchebags showed up that year and things got fucked up. Let’s not be babies about it. Let’s use this website to to come up with some positive ideas about skateboarding. Who wants to pour some ‘crete? Let’s build some street spots buddies.
Cheers to that..I just get a little tired of getting “policed” on here whenever I ruffled a few feathers…It’s opinion….Just like an asshole…everybody has one..Pouring crete? Awesome idea.
OUR friend, Ki. I do have to ruffle some more feathers, though when you go for the negative spin on a topic.
wamp wamp wamp… :( :( :(…Shit ain’t always cookies and milk, and I ain’t Santa Claus.
FDR didn’t get trashed this year. Hooray!
I always drive gravedigger through fdr on the fourth. Sometimes I get into a fight with big foot. Its cause I drive Chevy and he drives Ford. we are friends now. Does any one have oatmeal wheals. they rule

look for haveboards coverage to surface sometime in 2009? it was super mellow this year, a little to much kinda. but how could skateboards, booze, trees, bros, hoes and explosives not be a good time?
