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.

In the hours leading up to dusk you’ll sometimes find us. Lurking in the dark corners of your local skateboard parks. The winds, the dirt, the blinding light of another day shot, melting away right before your very eyes. Skate it out. Skateboard it out, bitch. Kaleb Hall. Right before Malone Time.

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.
