Your author doing some suburban street skating, ie. Me sliding a picnic table bench at the old Lutherville. Ed, launch ramp backside air in front of a dramatic sunset. Brian airing off some skinny ledge. Look at that Rob Roskopp. Jeff B getting super extended off his launch ramp. Jeff B at Lutherville when the metal ramps were brand new. Some random with a bent knee Christ thing at a contest during the height of the launch ramp era. Closed gas stations. The natural habitat of the suburban skater.
Some guy with a nice FS at the old Ocean Bowl vert ramp. Kids at the Ocean Bowl. Paul Wisniewski with a layback grind to tail on the steep bank at the Save Lutherville contest.
