After way too many rained off days, we headed 6 hours south to Jacksonville Florida, Home of Atlantic Beach and Kona parks.
Atlantic Beach.
Helmet in a Helmet…Unfortunately most parks out there we strictly helmet and pads. The cops patrol the parks on the regular and heavy fines are unfortunately common.

This thing was like jumping from a speeding car…
The Oldest (and hardest to skate) Skatepark in America!
A few scattered emails and phone calls saw us hook up with Mike Peterson and his crew down in Florida.
Poindexter!!
Floridian sunset, quick lets get to the motel before the Cockroaches completely take over!
The constant puling of a short straw saw me on the floor every night…
Set in stone.
Oh my God – Tony Hawk stalefished this!!!
Helmets Helmets….I can’t take it no more…..Quick no one’s lookin’ take it off for the photo!
Dave and Dan were so stoked to visit one of America’s oldest and most notoriously difficult to skate parks.
