After a long day of sellin product, cleaning up the shop, and getting things ready for the week; nothin sounds better than a good night of skating.
Unlike the majority of the work labor within this area, I work on Sundays. However, I have one of the best jobs… Just recently, I have become the new Store Manager for Alley Skateshop. I found this place to be the only core skate shop within this area. Surfing does not, I repeat does not take up the majority of the store. In fact, we don’t even allow any such surf-influenced product within the premises. We leave it up to our good-old neighbors, Killer Dana, to take hold of that Market.
So back to the point of this special feature… Every Monday, I am goin to feature a park within the greater area of Orange County, so I can hopefully get all you skate junkies off the couch, out the door and on your board to potentially push your board to new limits. And what better way to find a park within your area that has all the essential tools to get your adrenaline goin. There is nothin better than after a horrendous day of work or countless hours in the classroom of day-dreaming to actually go out and skate.
This Sunday evening I treated msyelf to a evening sesh @ the Volcom Park in Costa Mesa. A great all-around park for those tranny lovers and street gurus. The park has a great flow and a traditionally good-old vibe that sets the mood for a good session.
The park features a vert bowl, mini peanut bowel, street course with a euro-gap, ledges, couple challenging yet fun rails, and obstacles to make you go home with a smile.
