As the love/hate relationship with SLO Park comes to an end, a proper farewell seems necessary...

Backside flip shot by Jade Sadeghian (2011).

Thought I would start it off with the straight assassination of the old handrails by Greg Calise (2004).

These were during the days where I would actually hoping fences to skate the park. How things change!

Kicker to couch? Where's the ladder?

Cougar crushes!

This edit by Jade is one of my favorites. Such a good song choice!

During this time there was talk about Cooper making a SLO Park video.

10 tricks with Vito.

Friday nights at the park were always a good time. Here's some B-Lace action.

One of the great traditions of the park are the weirdos who end up lurking for months on end. Mossy, Tristan (who waxed the pyramid), and General Steezy were all lurkers who made the park seem even more weird. 88 The Alien might be the top winner.  Thanks to Jade for making such a ridiculous video and thanks to Dylan for stealing the show.

Some more Jadetage

The red ledge came at a perfect time when it seemed the park was getting stale.

Stephen likes beer.

VHS vibes from Mikey Days

Sorry for never filming here Cody.

This went way too long so lets end it here.

Jazzpicks - Hokus Pokus Night Session

We decided to start a new monthly section dedicated to inspirational skate videos that are out of the realm of SLO County.  My pick for June is the legendary night session in H-Street’s Hokus Pokus (1989).  A longtime friend, Steve Money once described to me his first viewing of Hokus Pokus, as the absolute shock and awe of so many never been done tricks left him and his friends screaming throughout the entire video.  Steve isn't the only nostalgic H-Street fan, as it motivated a new generation of street skating to take over in the coming decade.  I know Matt Hensley’s stylish pop-shove it backside grab will forever be engraved in my mind, and the shredding instrumental track is equally top notch.  Enjoy Carroll, Hensley, Donger, and the Dance of Life in this absolute classic.
