Stoked this shot is up, typical day at the Albany park, a Red Cement rider tearing it up over some random. Good times.
I’m confused as to what is going on…flyout…transfer? The middle finger, however, is prety straight forward.
Backside 180 over bum, it’s wierd cause he looks like he’s further away than he is. But no hobo’s were harmed in the making of this shot.
some parks it is hard to tell the locals (skaters) from the locals (bums). If only his shirt said Element or Deathwish
Good photo! I like Albany’s park, and I’ve met some pretty rad dudes down there. Some pretty crazy heshers, too.
Huh, Selph got cut a while back for dropping of the grid. Kill pic and skater, if he would start skating again.
I honestly can say i dont care if REDCEMENT cuts me cuz i should be skating for a better more legit company the only reason REDCEMENT is what it is today is cuz OF Rex Rob Andy Turt & Trav they have not came out with a video or a new logo for the boards every skatepark we go to there is someone that has something bad to say about redcement cuz the history of Albany.. All i wanna do is skate and have fun with my brothers and not have to worrie about going up to a sktepark and have to fight are way out anymore ill be 22 this month im not a little kid anymore with age comes responsibilty and micah has been the one getting are names out trying to get us in mags and new sponsers thanks Micah..
Who even rides for companies anymore anyways? I thought that went out of fashion with the jeans that fit over our shoes in the 90s. Ya’ll better catch up!
Oh no, do they reclaim the tattoo?
He never got a tatoo MC. Good one though haha.
small town skate drama asside, you should probliey worrie more about making sure what you spell on the intentets is spell checked, cause some of what you rote is not spelled rite. and peeple may not respect what youre opinions if you dont know grammer or how too right proper english.
Hey you asside, stop dropping of the grid. Jeez, and here I thought you gonians were less concerned about how folks spell than whether they’re active motorheads. Guess you’ve got high standards after all.
Didn’t know much about it before, but I now have a great impression of Albany and its people.
Wow, Robert nice way to treat some of your friends who have been there for you for quite some time now. It is funny too, because I did realize that you, Trav, Rex and Turt did all the work to make it happen. Also, as for new logos we had one in the works for you specifically and then you disappeared.
Robert, you prick!
Stay classy, Albany!
hey – i live in albany.
a guy took his girlfriend up to mary’s peak to try to get a little action in the backseat of his car. things started to heat up. they were kissing and all of that stuff. She unbuttoned her pants and said to him, “kiss me where it stinks”, so he pulled his shirt back on, got into the drivers seat and drove her to albany.
HA! Winner! Seriously though, it always smells when you drive by that town. Paper mill or something?
Manufactured homes.
