Happy 20th Birthday Burnside

Burnside is the oldest D.I.Y skate park in the United States and possibly the world. This Halloween I was lucky enough to partake and enjoy the 20 year celebration of the park.

Japanese invade Cachagua Land

People come out to the land, deep in the Carmel Valley in central California to bring concrete, help dig, build and skate the ever changing concrete contraption.
