Bank spot check

Bank on it

I practically got crucified by a usually upbeat and positive entity for checking out this spot under the pretense of potential fun. Sure, the asphalt is a little rough, but… Who am I kidding? I’ll never hop that fence unless… Click to enlarge

SOTW 6-30-08: Marek Litinski

SOTW 6-30-08: Marek Litinski at Burnside

This week’s Shot Of The Week is Marek Litinski at Burnside as shot by his fellow countryman Martin Lucuk. You don’t see a lot of Burnside shots on Skate and Annoy (Yes, yes, it’s because we’re posers…) so why not. Marek’s friend came over from Czechoslovakia the Czech Republic for a Northwest skate session and so there you have it. Check out the Shot Of The Week or see some more Lucuk shots at Cold War Skateboards.

Vicksburg Mississippi - 1992

Spot Check: 1992 Vicksburg Mississippi

You’re viewing thiss pot from beyond the grave! Oohhh… Spooky! Well, who knows, maybe it’s still active. Joesf Heffner (nweyesk8) sent in this possibly xeroxed copy of an old photo that his buddy Jason Walker took of him in 1992. In Vicksburg, MS there was this old parking lot of actual concrete, not asphalt, that had transition along one edge. The transition went up against the side of this building, but as you can see there was a slight deck still. The main problem was there was a water pipe that leaked from the building and the lot would get completely covered with a thick layer of algae. making it unridable most of the time, except durin the scorching heat of summer. This is a cropped version of the original, you can see the whole thing after the jump. How about it Mississippi readers, is this spot still a go?
