Dredge the Lethe - Laguna Ledge

Taking a look back at the chunkiest ledges in Slo.

Sadly enough, the first time I ever heard of a pro skating a spot in slo was this Brian Sumner ad for hair products. Despite the product placement and the choppy sequence, I was pretty excited to see Laguna in print. From Skateboarder Magazine, November 2003

For years I waited for the footage to turn up in a video but it never made it. That was until, classic clips made a Brian Sumner part.

With the help of Michael Mull, I saw the Sumner clips and some amazing Mark Appleyard footage that never made it to video. How did a tre flip noseslide not get a proper showing?

Nick Walters grind up Laguna was absolutely ridiculous, but he was not the first person to go up it. A now forgotten Stacy Lowry had a fs noseslide up it back in 2005.

The now defunct 411 put out a Stereo issue in 2004 which covered a tour from LA to SF. The Stereo guys made a stop in Slo to shoot a commercial and skate some spots. Keep an eye out for the Benny Fairfax nollie at Madonna center and the Clint Peterson fs board at Denny's.
