New Stuff at the Spot!

I had to bail early to go to work today so as I type this, the work is still going on. I put in a few hours and shit is looking so cool! Very unique free forming from the mind of Wrex Cook. The real Altown foreman! Ham collected 500$ donations (thanks to all who contributed) and got 4 yards of crete to pour a manny pad/ up ledge, and Wrex's Dragon Tail! Couldn't do it without the all the heads that showed up to help out, you know who you are. Thanks to the people that didn't show up as usual, you know who you are too. This is Sick!

Just getting started? Hardly. Hammond and minions worked all week to get ready for today.




Chris has the groms on Trash Detail.


The Manny Pad/ Up Ledge with Granite Coping. (this means stay off bikes, sorry.)


The Dragon Tail!






It started raining, Jordan made a quick run to home depot for some plastic cover, and the team work began. These guys stood in the rain while we troweled out some of the crete. The rain eventually let up and all is well.


Break Time!


Once again, this couldn't have been done without Wrex and Kim Cook, and Hammond's determination to build a rad spot. All the people that donate time, money, and labor to the spot too. This is a rad thing we have going here. I'm stoked to see everyone come together for something like this. Many people have put in so much effort to make this a reality for us all to enjoy, THANKS SO MUCH! Also, the neighbors are super supportive of our efforts, even going as far as to get rif raffs out of the spot and keep it clean, next time you are on the scene and see them on the porch, get em some beer or something.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!
