Back when street skating meant shredding a picnic table, not a simulated picnic table.

It was nice to see such a young kid doing stylin’ Smith grinds at The Ice Palace.

I’m in a 4-way battle with some of my co-workers, and here is my volley from round two. I kind of rushed through it, but wanted to get it up here anyway.

Huge, confident frontside 50 all the way across the four-foot mini at The Ice Palace.

I had a blast skating with this kid, a 14-year-old from near Arlington, Virginia. He said he normally skated a large bowl at his local park, and he had the chops to back it up. He made a meal of the mini ramps, and didn’t stop until he locked up on the six-foot mini and landed face first in the flat. It was really great skating a ramp with a younger kid - he’s the first in recent memory that could put together a great line.

Here’s a quick video of Steven I threw together last night. The footage is from both Indianapolis and Columbus. Check out a post-McSqueeb Steven shred a picnic table and bust out the goodies during an N-Orbit contest run.
