new derby.

by

It all started about 3 weeks ago. Word got out workers were already over at Derby and shit was going down. Then the illusion from Malibu posted this video, Thrasher picked up on it and all hell broke loose.

4 inches of resurfacing were added, huge concerns were raised by the skaters (as they should be) and the results were nothing short of miraculous. Skaters considerations were taken, adjustments were made, concrete was poured, pocket rockets were formed, heck, they employed skateboarders in the full on construction. In short, the skateboarders won. The park is better than ever (and faster). Thank you, City of Santa Cruz. You are a lot cooler than most. New Derby is here and she is wonderful. She will buck and deconstruct you. Hang on for the ride and be ready to pay in blood.

Before.

After.Yesterday. Alex Foy. California’s oldest skatepark just got a nice upgrade.

Like those times when you hike Mt Rose looking for the illusive white snow leopard.

Like those times when you summit and you wish you had an ice cold beer, damnit.

Like those times when you stand on two statelines, drink a white russian, stare at photos of dead people, try to sneak into the frank sinatra impersonation show, and drink a wee bit more. Why? Why the fuck not! It’s ‘Merica!

Great moments in time.
