A Photo Moment

Anywhere you venture to is going to have a history. Some places end up being more historical than others; and some may just be revolutionists of their kind. Whatever the case, it's always interesting and sort of inspiring to see what used to be of the places you love to love. In this case, a fond memory in this town is what STONE EDGE SKATEPARK once was. The history behind the park and the people who have skated here, worked here, or just hopped a fence to make it a little more adventurous, is the gold foundation beneath the renovations. Some wish we could just dig up the dirt and those old bowls would be re-lived once again. I get a kick out of seeing old photos; most of which I find through my google-lurking. Like this one of Benji Galloway sneaking into Stone Edge from way-back-when. A decade later and his feet still make their way to the concrete of the only OG piece left, the 9Bowl.

Mertz frontside air transfer. Check out the PVC coping...


Mertz-frontside ollie in the peanut. Remember when there used to be a pizza hut next door? I had almost forgotten about this.


Tom Groholski. Man that layout looks so fun.


Mark Mosh in the big, rough, pad-pulling down, egg bowl.
