First stop - Montgomery Skate Park |
| Around opening time at noon, we pulled up to the park, paid our $3 each and got down to some skating. The park was surprisingly very fun! It was also
surprisingly busy. As some of the locals told us, this was the busiest they had ever seen it. Odd? There were about 50 or so folks skating, scottering, inlining, etc.
Pro Photog, Montgomery local and SkateAlabama.com forum regular, Dave Campbell (DCPhotos from the SkateAlabama.com forum) even made it out for a short session before running off to work. I think we all had
a great time there, but the time just flew. Before I knew it, it was 3pm and time for us to head back towards home for the second stop of the day. |

Second stop - Veterans Skate Park |
| After getting back to Alabaster, Danny and I continued on for a little more skating out at Alabaster's Veterans Skate Park. A few folks were already out there skating
including Tim Spinosi, Mark Eddings, Jason and Brad Floyd. Like always, Brad just appears every so often and just rips. He was pulling backside airs, lien-to-tails, rolling
into the shallow, and handplants (VERY close to inverts!) just like he hadn't missed a day skating. It was great to see and skate with him again. |
