An Anti-Hero #tfreport & Beyond

It’s funny how much the mere existence of a quarterpipe within the Tompkins fence recalibrated the way that place is skated, and the tricks people do there. A few months ago, having heard that the Anti-Hero team is at T.F., nobody would fault you for thinking, “Why the hell is the Anti-Hero team wasting time at Tompkins? Wouldn’t that time be better spent at the Chelsea park?” [Spoiler: they make it to the Chelsea park. Phew.]

But instead, you have Gus Gordon climbing atop the brick pillars back by the bathrooms (both the perma-under-construction ones and the makeshift one that was born out of necessity), and Grant Taylor using that very same quarterpipe to stall atop of them. With that and the perpendicular couch ollie seen above, you likely have the two highest clearance tricks ever done at Tompkins. (Look at bro in the background wearing the green shirt.) Can’t wait to build a loop there when we make our first million and recalibrate shit again.

Otherwise, we all know that Sahbabii is the real S.O.T.Y. of the past week for dropping the A.O.T.Y. 🦑 Literally 18-for-18.
