SOTW 3-1-10: Fitz over Loveseat

This week’s shot of the week is a Pete Lewis photo of Dave Fitzpatrick hitting the love seat at Gabriel Park, frontside no less. As Dave Duncan would say (over and over and over again) that is no joke. I have to push like a mofo and heave myself over that thing, by which time I’ve lost all sense of poise and balance to invariable end up bailing on my backside attempts. Kudos, Fitz. Thanks to the revitalized Frontside Rock and Roll Review for the pic.

Check out the Shot of the Week.

  1. Did you ever try setting your coffee on the loveseat?

    It could be said that he has no love for that seat. Hey-O!

    This roseburg kid I know almost landed/rolled away from a frontside lipslide on that shield. Almost.

  4. For the record, that’s not my coffee. And also for the record, it’s be sweet if people could stop parking their drinks there, or worse, along the curb-quarter, atop the ledge, or on the jersey-barrier.

    For many of us, the best stuff at Gabriel is the weird shit around the fringes, which wasn’t engineered for the storage of snackable sundries.

    In other words, leave your damn refreshements in the car.

  5. Also, thanks Kilwag! That’s a fun line.

    I have seen someone land that line, frontside lipslide the love seat and land back on the bank and roll away.

    Awsome Fitz!

  8. nice shot

  9. Some high school kids wanted to fight Grover because he yelled at them for leaving their drink/garbage on the curb.

  10. At Gabriel? Wow. That place has about the mellowest vibe ever. And I have a hard time seeing Grover being anything but diplomatic.

    But I agree, the litter factor is pretty lame.

  11. I was out there a few weeks ago, and this is no joke. Lot of hard pushing to get there. Now that’s fine if you’re with a lady, but these old legs just don’t have it anymore.
