Thrasher – August 2019

96 Thrasher

’all don’t listen! I said get the fuck out of
Tallahassee!” We had encountered the same
female cop twice during our visit to Florida’s
capital city and she was pissed. It was not surprising,
though. After cutting off skate stoppers, sparking
fireworks, getting buck in Chick-fil-A drive-thrus,
yelling at frat bros and sorority sisters and skating
churches and schools until three in the morning, we
were definitely burning the candle at both ends. The
van was packed with a heavy crew: Pedro, Clive, Foy,
Alexis Ramirez and Winkowski. We had explosives,
Bondo, lights, a generator, ample road sodas and we
were stoked to brush off the dust of Tampa Pro (as
well as the glitter of Mons Venus) and nothing could
stop us. It was time to sprint through the South,
fueled by fried chicken in search of big terrain!

Florida A&M University was a Foy fave.
Nosegrind on home turf, Big Pinch
always delivers

Previous spread: Security wasn’t too stoked but the
funeral home director let us skate as long as we left
him a good Yelp review. Congrats on 50 years in
business, Elmwood’s! Ducky, backside 50-50
