Austin Skate Notes
Description
A large group of skateboarders gathered at Mabel Davis yesterday (June 6, 2006) for a dusk session. Travis Burke is on break from school in Corpus and put in a marathon performance of skateboarding stamina. James Juneau returned for his second session since recovering from knee surgery earlier this year. His runs included sparking 50-50 grinds down the pool-coping escalator and madonna grinds in the deep end. Adam Young was on the brink of landing egg plants on the real steep short wall. Kevin emblazoned an upside-down red cross on his belly, then suffered the hardest slam of the session while experimenting with a rock-and-roll in the deep.
In honor of 666 day, Austin Skate Notes staffers will host a shredding cauldron of hellspawn @ Mabel Davis public skatepark this afternoon at 6:00 PM. Free barbecue, music, skate videos, and ASN t-shirts will be on hand.
Multiple ASN readers have posted links to the mainstream media coverage of the Leander eXtreme sports complex proposed by investers with $66 million to spend on Huck Jams. Aaron-the-kid estimates the skateboarding portion of the complex will occupy a space 600′ by 600′. If covered entirely in concrete, that private skatepark would be 360,000 square feet, which is roughly 3 times the size of that monster Shanghai, China skatepark. Speaking of which, buzz on the internet is that the Shanghai park suffers from a bunch of kinks and other shoddy work. You know, I was gonna say that those hubbas looked unrealistically tall….
