clarification by execution. if you're editing video footage of skateboarding, watch this, steal techniques and prosper. shit is stale right now. points verses reality and the balance being mediocre at best is killing our culture. skate or don't. i say five more years with all the bullshit then it will go back to just weirdos being weird with only weirdos watching. purity through plurality. or singularity. grammar is a construct designed by the culture that oppresses us. fuck spelling. class war now.

Posted: Monday, September 19, 2011 6:00 am | Updated: 6:26 am, Mon Sep 19, 2011.
By JOHN KOZIOL jkoziol@citizen.com | 0 comments
PLYMOUTH — Seven years in the planning and two months in construction, the town’s first skatepark opened here on Sunday, to the delight of dozens of skateboarders, inline skaters and bicyclists who filled the place and entertained themselves and spectators with a variety of thrilling moves.
Located on Green Street Extension on land that is being leased to Skatepark of Plymouth, Inc., by Alex Ray, founder of the Common Man family of restaurants, the state-of-the-art concrete facility is being built in three phases.
Phase I, which includes a kidney-shaped bowl and a street course, was begun in July and was completed earlier this month.
Phase II entails expanding the street course to its full size, adding things for beginners and younger users, while Phase III would see the construction of a 60-foot long, three-foot wide "snake run"
Open daily, weather permitting, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., the skatepark to the south has a nearby “graffiti” park where visitors can “tag” two concrete columns and, one day, it will have a “pump track” to the north for hearty bike riders.
The skatepark — which is expected to cost $170,000 when it is fully built — has the support of the Hawk Foundation grant, which was founded by skateboard legend Tony Hawk, as well as the Town of Plymouth, the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, the Plymouth Police Department and the town’s public schools.
On Sunday, the skatepark also had the backing of Matt Jones, a skateboarder who came up from Nashua for the day and who declared that the long ride north was “well worth it.”
Nashua has a similar skatepark, said Jones.
Jones and his friends Steve Roberto and Zack Noel are not only skateboarders but also partners in “Fix the Metal,” a company that sells T-shirts and other “lifestyle” apparel geared for people who like to shred.
“It’s good that the town finally built a skate park,” said Jones, adding that the facility will be well used, judging by the response to it yesterday.
Mike Currier, who is president of Skatepark of Plymouth, Ltd. and a social worker at Plymouth Regional High School, said more than 100 people – ages ranging from under 10 to over 30 – put the skatepark through its paces on Sunday.
“Anything on wheels can use it,” he said of the skatepark, adding that its users, over time, will ultimately decide how it evolves.

RIDING THE RIM:
STEVEN ROBERTO of Nashua rides the rim of the concrete bowl at the Skatepark of Plymouth, which opened Sunday to critical and popular acclaim. The skatepark is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., weather permitting, and is located on Green Street Extension.

FTM was also interviewed briefly by a reporter from the laconia tribune or some shit so look out for that.

FTM in maine again. we hit lewiston, portland, bethel and kennebunk. we would have gotten a few licks in at south paris too but the park closes at 2pm on sundays and apparently we were the guys who left beer cans all over the place the last time we skated there. wasn't us bro.

are these fucks ever gonna get their shit together? i know the U.S. government and its buddies have really made a mess of an already fucked up situation over there but shit like this is absurd. just another example of how religion is fucking stupid and how humans manipulate its teachings to justify murder. i know it sounds racist but at this point why not just figure out where these taliban idiots are living, you know the C.I.A. has got that shit, and blow their asses off the map. whats gonna happen? the afghan and pakistani governments are just gonna release some statement condemning the attacks then immediately drive to the bank and cash another multi million dollar aid check intended for building roads and infrastructure that will instead be used to buy another rolls royce and more guns for islamic retards like this. fight war not wars.

no such thing

FTM crew went to maine and hit three parks on saturday. good time at lewiston but our session at south paris got cut short by a park monitor who looked suspiciously like jimmy buffet but without the good vibes. after jimmy locked the gates on us we hit the road for portland. skated there in the dark for a while, sipped on some suds and bitched about how stupid the bowl is. all in all though it was a great day.

i think they may have been the only band who went on record as far as wanting to kill 311. history will remember them for this i am sure.
