Colorado is home to one of the best skate scenes in the nation, and with that comes a huge network of backyard spots like Harold’s Hideaway in the high Rockies. A whole load of the rippingest folks from all around the state and nation descended on the SBA compound to drink free beer, eat good bbq, and melt faces.

Comenzamos el evento presentando el nuevo DIY Grind To Grind Molten Trucks Pool Coping. Siguiendo nuestra obsesión por los ejes y nuestro culto a ellos, el nuevo Grind to Grind consistía en la fundición de ejes de skate y transformarlos en una loseta de piscina.
It’s just a dream that came true. We had to work a lot to accomplish this. We had the outstanding support from some special people that believed in it. But sadly we had to fight and we still do with lawyers because legal processes are against us. Because we are dreamers, because we live our dreams we should fight for them, but don’t take us wrong we don’t like to fight, it’s such a waste of energy, we like to love and we made it out of love, we fight it with love, but you know, love does not pay the lawyers and fines that the local police and the government gave to us and are still trying to destroy our dream…

This year the level in the juniors was high, all were ripping hard. In the pool sesion many people from Barcelona came and were ripping the pool. A cool session with locals too. Good moments. Skate for fun.
Few people are “Classic” at the ripe age of 20. A “Classic” person is someone like Paul Newman in “Cool Hand Luke”, Clint Eastwood in “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly”, or a skateboarder like Alan Petersen or John Cardiel. A “Classic” skateboarder will roll up to a spot, pensively smoke a cigarette in the shadow, sip on a beer, and then quietly annihilate every obstacle in his path. John ‘Dana’ Allison is one of those people.
In early February this year, Jeremy, the owner invited the whole team Defocus Skateboards team to test the concrete. The bowl was just finished two weekends before, the pool coping adjusted, and a special product put on the concrete to clean it.
The park is a little bowl, very fun with good lines and a creative flow area with some quarters and a fun box, everything is very little, but works perfect. I’m so happy about this park I designed and built around ten years ago. Zut skateparks still alive !!!
