FRSTLV TYSFRTTS

First Love Skateshop hosted this rad Mini-Ramp-Toys-For-Tots-Drive in Hanford yesterday. Visalia homies rolled deep, and we couldn't resist taking the camera out in between runs.

20' long, a little over 5' tall, and the biggest coping you'll ever skate. Perfect.

Locals holding down the lurk.

Omar, Ollie Smith grinds every time.

Austen going the distance on a fully-lapped Back Smith grind.

Lien Air blaster in the same line.

The Sanchez patent.

One hell of a good time for one hell of a good cause. The ramp was destroyed non stop, everyone seemed to be on their game, but the ramp still gave us some fight. All in all, 3 out of 4 podium holders were Visalia heads, and all four of them walked away with an equal prize. What more could you ask for? Thanks for the good times guys, we'll definitely be back!

Old Mans Session

The homies ventured deep into the cuts to skate this exclusive halfpipe. Everyone was tail-dropping from the railings, flying off the ramp, and getting buck. This is just a taste.

Brutha D is no stranger to the ramp.

Old Man's Pipe is such a fun place. It's about to go through some major renovations to add a whole new ramp. This place will continue to get better and better, more updates on it soon!

The locals are super mellow, and the town is so relaxing. Not to mention how perfect the ramp is. It was such a fun trip, but so shortly lived. Definitely going back soon!
