skate goggles

You've heard of beer goggles I'm sure. The phenomenon of people looking more attractive after multiple doses of adult-drinks. Well apparently for some people beer goggles not only makes women more attractive and easier to talk to, but also makes questionable skate spots seem like the next love park.

for instance, my friend will occasionally call me up and be like "dude, i found this sick spot while i was out at the bar last night" and i'll be like.. yeah, let's check it out, only to go there and discover that this supposed ledge, pole jam, or whatever is not only located in someone's yard, but it is also going uphill, has no runway or landing, and if it does have one or both of those, there are gargatuan cracks on top and/or bottom (this IS pittsburgh after all). anyway, i just thought i'd share that, perhaps you've also experienced such a thing?

anyway - Austin Manswoosh has a photo in the new Focus, as does Henry, both courtesy of Mr. Stadler.

and speaking of Hank, he's updated Direction East, so go give him some hits over der.
