This epic skate spot is known for having some of the best line ledges around and also having the most unpredictable odds of getting kicked out. You can go and skate for hours with 20 people no problem, or you can go with just you and someone else and get kicked out before your first trick...

#TBT - Jay Cotrell 360 Lu Kang - Wayne, New Jersey
I think it's safe to say that everyone who skates has been through this before. You're young and stupid and you build sketchy obstacles and hope you come out alive. Back when I used to skate New Jersey with the Gnar Mobile crew every weekend, we were all about that...

#TBT - Tim Adams 360 - Scottsdale, AZ
A large group of my friends from the north east have an annual tradition; ESCAPE THE WINTER AT ALL COSTS! Our group has changed over the years but back in the beginning it was mostly skaters from NYC and skaters from Rochester who used to migrate south for the winter. This was either our second or third trip to Arizona in January when Tim did this massive 360. As far as I know, Dustin Latimer 360'd this also... but then Tim then 540'd it...

#TBT Sean Kelso - Truspin Front Torque - Philadelphia, PA
From what I remember, while we were filming for The Truth, Sean Kelso and Billy O'Neill both wanted to have truspin front torque clips on rails for their sections. Even today I still can't think of many other people who have done that trick on a down rail. Billy did his earlier on while filming in Philly and this was Seans...

#TBT Chris Shaw - Fishy to Royale Transfer - Philadelphia, PA
#TBT Jon Bolino - Backside Backslide - Ramapo, NJ
Before he was called Jon Bolino, Jon Jon was a little kid crushing the streets and parks in New Jersey and Philly. He was always that little kid killing it in local competitions with skates to big for his feet. As he got a little older, he started skating with the Gnar Mobile crew in New Jersey that I skated with every weekend. This was one of our trips to stay with our friends Jay Greendyk and Sean Money at their dorms in Ramapo College...

#TBT Koery "Sneaky" Waikiki - 180 - Nor Cal
As I recall, before Sneaky was the professional blader for Razors that he is now, he was a little kid that used to tag along skate sessions in the bay area in Cali. While I was there in 2006, Sneaky met up for a few sessions and back then I could see the potential he had. He found this cool roof gap to parking lot that he handled with no problem at all. Dam I need to go back to the bay...

#TBT Colin Kelso - Launch Alley-Oop Wallride - Brooklyn, NY
2006 was a great time to be a blader in NYC. B.Unique was exploding, the street scene was huge, many NYC skaters were on the come up, and we had our own indoor skatepark in Brooklyn. We all had so many great memories and took full advantage of having a truly skater owned skate park. Not many people know this, but aside from the parties, raves, poker nights, dodge ball and basket ball games, we had THE BEST sessions while the park was closed to the public...

#TBT Mike Lilly - Fakie Stale 540 - Phoenix, AZ
This week is a double banger, and who better to feature than Mike Lilly. While I was living in Arizona in 2010, Mike came out to film a 90 second edit for Revolution Skate Shop, and I shot some photos for their website. Mike is one of the best skaters to shoot photos of since everything he does is flawless and full of such unique style...

#TBT Ivan Narez - Front Torque - Sacramento, CA
In 2006, I was in Nor Cal to do something with Able Frames and to stay with Vinny Minton to film for Hyphy 3. During the week we filmed for Hyphy, Gonzo, Trevor Tylowski, Ivan Narez and myself took a drive up to Sacramento from San Fransisco. On the way there we made a few late night stops, one of them being a little campus that had the most perfect rails, and this huge, steep, high, down ledge that only Ivan wanted to hit...
