“[The Muni benches] were going to get sent it to a yard where they grind up concrete and granite, but we were able to save them. They stacked them up one day and they had left a pallet jack out, so we used it to move it into another area with some smooth ground…So we saved six benches in total and they’re currently in a storage unit.” Brian Panebianco has a new interview with Heckride.

I seen Kaue Cossa switch back heel yellow barrier from flat at Tompkins a few years back, casual, and on the dolo. It was incredible, been a fan ever since, happy to see him get his shine.
didn’t even realize Habitat was around that long until you mentioned it, fuck I feel old now
Habitat/workshop boards hold their pop and dont razor down
I’m not watching eleven minutes of Sean Pablo anything or reading about another skating becoming a photographer.
Habitat cool though. Glad to see their next generation come up.
