For our second mission, we drove a shit of a long way up to granada hills to skate one of the few schools truly built to skate. Skating the campus felt like a full blown advenure and it was refreshing to see so many spots in one place. The first spot in the school we found was the two most perfect handrails ever built, one for each side, sitting on a 'plateau of opportunity'. So to start out the session, Garrett surprised us all with yet another front board, but failed in the end due to a near scrodum scraper at the foot of the rail. Next up was Joe, who succeeded in mastering the trick with glory treading in his wake. Cody the railmaster was up, busting a flawlessly orchestrated 50-50 first try and 5-0 third try. Here's some of the footy. Enjoy!

First Mission of the Year 02
After the Austin Stephens banks session, we hoofed it up to Ghetto park, where Garrett began setting up the "ghettoist" rail possible. Here is Garrett attempting to reduce the sketch factor of the rail. After knocking the rail down twice with repeated attempts, Garrett pulls his steezy front board fakie in the end.

Although I cannot show JJ's nor Garrett's tricks as to not burn the footage, here's a little clip of Joe & Mikey. Enjoy!

First Mission of the Year 01
As summer ended, our weekly Saturday quest for footage began. For our first Saturday mission, we went to Los Angeles, a city teeming with sheer spots. However, we had little time so we only went to a few spots. The first was the classic LA bank bench at Sierra Vista, which also had the 10 rail that Bobby Worrest frontside flips over in his Krooked Kronichles part. Sierra Vista bank bench. After Kevin landed his 5-0 front shuv and Garrett his back 5-0 shuv, we headed for downtown LA with Ghetto Park on our mind. After we parked and started skating, we found the Austin Stephens tiled brick banks and sessioned them for awhile before heading to Ghetto park. Here's a pic of the great time!
