Burn Baby Burn!
Skating in December - February used to mean an all day affair. Roadtrip, gas money, lunch money, and $20 for the session. Ollie's Skatepark in Florence, KY is kickass, no doubt. But now, all I gotta do is cross the big creek into Hoosierville and the gnar is on. And once the Bar Knuckle Lounge is complete, with a couch, cooler, and ping pong table for TheProfessor, Travio might have to put up with some transient skaters.
The Cretins have been somewhat spoiled, with almost exclusive sessions all the time. Even at the park, when we're there, we're the only crew rockin'. Well, the word is out that Cretins got it goin' on. I saw several new faces at the Barnacle last night. Stick with us kids. Cretins'll make ya famous.
And it burned burned burned... The ring of fire...
FRO was a bit under the weather... nothin' a few drinks won't cure...
Stylin' Sweeper, right up until he bailed it. (Punkass heckled me all night.)
But he can skeet a lil' bit.
Theme for the night was "Attack the Wall"
I did get the Rock-n-Roll, but the Professor beat me to it, so the F.R.O. was unimpressed. Ass.
Thrasher was pushin' for coping and eventually got it.
Both BS and FS.
Professor Jason FS
Professor Jason BS
I dub the Squirrelly Joe. (He rides super loose trucks.)
Radly can smith grind, in case you were wonderin'.
One of the 'new kids' bustin' a boneless. (post a comment if ya know his name)
If ya got a big deck, eventually everyone will want to be on it.
Great session skaters! See ya next week.
BONUS COVERAGE - Gimpy's Visit Last Weekend
Gimpy with a "yay" grind.
Edward (The Wizard) with a smith revert.
F.R.O. with a lip lickin' smith.
And a lip smackin' invert.
Gimpy huckin' one.
Skidzilla on the extension. (Don't bite yer tongue.)
Travio cruisin' the pipeline.
Skidzilla would be happier with this pic if I had snapped it a second sooner. Gnar fs from the 11' to the 8'.
Gimpin' the hip hop.
Grindin' Joe.
And Gimpy gets the Trick of the Day award. 8' to 4' hip transfer via the tail slap.
The rumor of the Concretins death was slightly exaggerated.

It was insane how many people made it on the coldest night of the year...completely unexpected. I mean you couldn't have picked a worst night to skate. It was balls cold but the "clearly cracked" crew made it one of the more stellar Barnacle sessions since it was built. Thanks again to all who braved the elements and made it out...fun chit man.
Travio
Also, thanks Nick for posting this up and capturing some nice pics. Damn good time!

The best thing to me is to see everybody using beanies, jackets, even gloves; and on the other hand Jason with shorts and short sleeve t-shirt. I miss not being able to be there. Awesome tricks on the extension. Good pics.
