Fun times were had!

David and made it home safely after a fun ass time at the TNT skatepark contest. Though we didn't make the finals cut, we still had fun and met some good peeps! We def will plan to return and skate there. Jona (Hazard County Const) did a great job on the redesign. Simple, yet expandable trick-wise. Judging was a little wacky, but it's always hard to judge jam session formats. Props go to Alex Johnson, he freakin killed it! Hope to skate with him again. David even got a street clip in the time we were there. Hint: handrail trick. Love trips and miss going on them. Sad summer is almost over and back to schoolwork. Gotta get that learning though ;)

Solomon Mosley Wins ATL HH contest!

Hometown Heroes headed to Progressive Skatepark in Atlanta, Georgia where the owner, Steve, was very friendly and has quite an extensive board collection that you should check out if you ever stop by.  Some skaters from Nashville even made the trip out to skate in the contest.

With his kickflip crook up the euro gap rail and feeble up the big rail, Kyle Regiscer took third place.

Second place went to Joey Pellegrino.  His rail tricks were impressive including switch 270 front board and well-executed back smiths.

Hometown Heroes veteran, Solomon Mosley (Click), was shredding everything in his path taking first place.  Among the many tricks he did, Soloman landed a huge frontside flip up the double bank and switch crook and nollie heel noseslide down the hubba.  He destroyed the rail with a kickflip boardslide to fakie, nollie back lip and nollie front board.

Demo Update!

I received this message and wanted to share it:

"Nicky,
there is a business on that street that does not want a skate demo in the street and ---- has tried to convince him that it will be fine, but regardless.. I am working with the roller derby team to see if we can use some of the street they have... but this demo will not include ramps, mainly because ---- spoke with ---- and they dont want to keep carrying ramps around...without a true place to set up... 
We have a table setting up in front of Soul Bar with t-shirts and petitions."

Seems like more and more, we need a park! Because it's hard to even do a demo!
