PROJECT PAT

Al Town

Memphis is a pretty big city. Unlike most cities however, it doesn't have a skatepark.. Its crazy that places like Portland, Oregon can get multiple skateparks within a few miles of each other, and Memphis can't even get one. So, like a lot of folks that get sick of waiting around for something to happen, we decided about two years ago to take matters into our own hands.. Although we didn't have an epic "under the bridge" location, we made due. Since Memphis is crunchy and ghetto we found a spot in the hood and started pouring crete. We've had people come and go, some help, some just lurk. Either way everybody that has helped out has made a major difference in the Memphis skate scene. Altown is not exactly a "skatepark" but it works just fine.. Heres a video and some photos of the spot, crunchy, just like the city its built on. Altown is named after the local graffiti found on the walls when we moved in. Also, if your feeling stoked about what we are trying to do down here, check out this website where you can donate a few bucks for the cause.. And then come shred. AL TOWN

For the first posts we went around Memphis taking pictures of the general scenery and things you may see when cruising through.. Its defiantly not Southern California.. Hot as hell and dirty as ever.. Memphis 10.

Welcome To Crunktown

Welcome to Memphis, the Dirty South. The skate scene is different here than a lot of places. Crunchy spots, everywhere is ghetto, and you can pretty much drink beer on the streets. Memphis is a sprawled out wasteland in the midsouth. Definitely dirty dirty.
