Friday skate session after storm "Marce"

2012-10-05T19:06:00.002-07:00

After the storm "Marce" left the Phillipines, at last we were able to skate again. Everyone's feet is itching to get on their boards again and roll. At 3pm were already skating, setting up the obstacle, warming up, ollieing, flipping or whatever. We also had guest skaters from the Bagong Bario crew of Caloocan that day(such cool guys! so much bag of tricks yet humble).

All were on hot skate level, that our sessions usually ended up by 6:30 but t'was already 8pm when we ended.

The day was crazy, all are crazy we were experimenting on the obstacles(I still don't have much of the photo's but will post it soon)

Here are some of the Photos of the session

Nostalgia Malabon

Nostalgia
Location:Malabon Plaza skate spot
Skater: Gerwin "Ogie" Bautista
Circa: 2000-2004

This was our spot a decade ago, the plaza of Malabon City.( Malabon was not yet a city back then)
smooth ground, no cracks, no deformations on the floor. No irritating kids borrowing your boards.
Once a playground of the veteran skaters of the 90's and early 2000's.

The stage behind is a waist high drop. A good spot throwing down your flips!
