Richmond's Nicholl Skate Plaza!
So it was decided one night around a pack of brews that it'd be a grand idea to check out this Richmond Nicholl Skate Plaza I've been hearing so much about. The next morning comes and the start on the day is kinda slow; some bongloads to wake up, some bacon, sausages and a cheese burger, Flip's Extremely Sorry video to get hyped, and games of S.K.A.T.E. while bbq-ing hot dogs for the Revo/Brotherhood Sale, so we were not even thinking about the sun going down earlier. At first the group was growing, 3 car loads, including myself, Toan, Niko, Derek, Robert(FUPA),-we were also convincing Kev and Philbo to come along, but Toan ended up crackin his board, getting a new one and changing his mind up about the sesh to shred with our USSR buddies. Well Niko and I didn't have to think twice, we hopped our asses out of the car and persuaded Derek to mish the motherfucker. Derek was treating the freeway like it's his little bitch, doing 85, zigging whenever he zagged in and out of traffic.
We had a few missed turns and a stop at a sketchy gas station, but soon we were there at our destination just killing it. Just a few bros loving the many obstacles this massive place had to offer(ledges as far as the eye can see, mannies, funboxes, burms, mini, pyramid rail, hump bump, banks, whatever you want to shred). The atmosphere was legit: nice sunny afternoon, ghetto children everywhere having fun, tall pine trees providing many shady spots to just chill out and munch some Cheesy Nachos with JalapeƱos for 2 bucks I got down the block from these Mexican kids out front of their house getting their midday hustle on (these kids were super ill and hooked it up with mad cheese). A few makes, a couple missed tricks, new friends, some rad skate flicks, and empty water bottles later we left and headed to Casper's Hot Dogs for some Chili Dogs and a Safety Meeting and then it was home from there. Can't wait to go back with a good group of brodiggities to get our schralp on.
