TimeLine Contest Recap- Paradise Funplex

photos by_ Duce Smith

Timeline Skateboards had a contest at Merritt Island- Paradise Funflex last weekend. Unfortunately, I wasn't there; so, I can't report back to you the tricks that went down, the best slam, and the energy that filled the air. Fortunately though, I can share, because James (Duce) Smith was supporting as always, and took these photographs.


Jordan Price and Adam Taylor were raisin eyebrows and droppin jaws on the vert.

With that, this is the story I leave you with....my memories of Paradise Funplex. I relearned rock to fakeys on Paradise Funplex's micro-mini back in highschool. This was after I had gotten back into skating for the fourth-hundred time. Anyway, I was doing f/s rocks and dropping in on the extenstion of the vert, before I got my rock to fakeys back. Yes, that was a good day. I now could roll back and forth on a ramp with out turning around.
Here's the even funnier part. My sister spotted me on that first make. I was 16 years old, she 20, and here we are on a 1.5 inch mini ramp. I learned 3 other tricks in the next 2 runs after that: 1/2 cab rock, 360 rock, and boardslide (I just had to redeem myself). So, hopefully, I made you feel better with that story, that you had your rock to fakeys before the age of 16. Blah blah.

Team Glug- Last Pages

Okay, this run is almost over. And if you've just tuned in, this is a thanks to the guys and gal of TG; for their inspiration to create a zine.

Check out the Nathan and Christian Fletcher in the old Peanut, and Webb's infamous acid drop in the background.

A little Nugget

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”

One thing every good magazine has is an editorial section; a little nugget the editor wants whispered in your ear, as you flip through the pages. So, here goes mine.

I am always up for leaving my eyes and ears open throughout the day, just in case God has his own editorial note for me. God is always switching things up, reaching out to you, where you can be reached. At anyrate, this month anyway, it has been through sayings on posters. I have jotted down at least 8 good quotes from posters that just kept catching my eye. And today, as I started to write this editorial, I actually began writing something along the lines of the reward being in the journey… that is, until I saw “my” poster. It was hanging on a classroom wall, nothing fancy. It read, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”

I thought this quote tied perfectly into one of the things Dirt City Zine is about; which is, finding the beauty in our community, however each of us may represent it. Furthermore, without being in tune with my surroundings today, I would have missed the poster, which gave me inspiration for this note. Thanks God.
