Good ol Oceanside, California
Sorry I didn’t get to travel across the world or go to any carcass hucking skateboard gatherings. Gas is retarded and I’m broke as fuck. So I decided to check out what was going on in my home town. It was definitely not what I am looking for but decided to go see what the masses were doing anyways. I don’t know what my problem is. I’m not that old and I’m not that bitter, but pretty much all I can say is that I’m all about the scene that has no scene. And skateboarding is such a scene… People dressed up looking like pirates and shit. So I guess I am in the wrong business then huh? Being that I was once told by someone that you gotta be a social schmoozing butterfly to make it in this biz. Here’s a Oside Go sk8 day recap.
” Are you guys stupid or something? Cant you read the sign!
See that awesome spectacular beautiful resort in the background? Yeah, that’s the reason why the old skate park is no more.
Oside has no where to skate. At least no designated fenced off day care center that’s an excuse for a place to ride a skateboard like most of all the other towns around here have. Here we are outlaws, even in your own backyard if your ramp is over 3ft high. So this year the kids got smart and took go skate day into their own hands and set up some stuff to skate where the old skate park used to be….
Nothing but the finest.
A perfect place for a skate park. Right by the beach in downtown with a nice ocean breeze and it will never happen because the property is too valuable to waste on a worthless activity like skateboarding. It’s not like it’s a way of life. Don’t you know it’s only supposed to be a fad…..
Grow up already and join the Marines.

Oceanside Police love skateboarding!
The city of Oceanside has been milking skateboarding since the early 80’s. Their all about having contest down at the band shell but then have the double standard of not allowing skateboarding anywhere. Oceanside has hosted the X Games, the Triple Crown and other contests to make themselves money. Yet Oceanside still does not have a permanente place to skate. In fact it’s straight up illegal to skate in Oceanside. I love my town!
” Carlsbad has a skate park. Why don’t you all go over there and have your little gathering. It’s a excellent facility right next to the Carlsbad Police station. Just remember you helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards. You guys would love it, Tony Hawk endorses it! “
Oceanside’s Finest!
You only wish in your wildest dreams you could be as cool as these two tools.
shut down
Skateboard and you will end up back there….. What do you think Danny?
So everyone was shut down and ended up 50 ft away at the infamous hubba skating flatland playing s-k-8 and whatnot. Next thing you know I see a hyped up piggy pull out the riot rubber bullet gun and I thought things were going to get interesting. It didn’t and after some negotiating everyone was let back into the old skate zone. I was over it by that time and went and met up with Nate Sherwood.
Part two tomorrow.
( or the next day or the day after )
