The End of the Crack Era

Tompkins locals are no strangers to the evil of the Parks Department ;) For years, they’ve been stealing our boxes, taping off our benches, and sometimes, they’d try to sabotage the park’s longest standing obstacle, The Crack™. But in the true spirit of American infrastructure, these slapdash concrete fill-ins never lasted long. All they would do is render the park a pebble-ridden, wheelbite-inducing mess for a week. Mother nature’s gift to skateboarding by way of a tree root attempting to free itself from the ground was too strong for these acts of aggression.

This week, they went for big one. The Crack™ is gone. It has been filled with an effective tarlike substance that renders the inch-wide cavity obsolete. New York skateboarding’s inner Ben Sanchez is struggling for air.

We will be organizing meet-ups with psychiatric health professionals at Mamani’s for those who may need counseling in this time of crisis.

  1. Dummbert, leave the links out of your comments, unless requested. But back to the matter at hand, what upgrades can we expect, now that the Nike money is accruing mad interests. That Name Changer part on Thrasher is pretty tight, he does a trick in grey Nikes, almost looked like AO.

  2. THATS IT IM MOVING TO LA WHERE THE CRACKS NEVER GET FILLED AND THE SUN SETS ON THE OCEAN
