After months of waiting we finally got out skimboarding. Middle of the city, puddle skimming in a park. With all the run off and rain we've been getting there were puddles everywhere,and perfect skimming. Got some fun stuff down nothing huge it was are first day out for the season and Arick is just coming off a double compound fracture in his arm, and wasn't supposed to do anything physical until april....all in all it was an awesome day look out for the edit...should be on soon.

New Spring Spot

So we've been meaning to get skimming for awhile now after seeing our friend Logan Davidson and others riding. Well walking down to the park for some random reason yesterday I came across these two amazing puddles.

The only issue is that the only person who has a board is Arick. Mine (Matt) is still up at my camp. But Arick is hopefully coming over tomorrow and we'll session these to amazing spots. Check back tomorrow to see some shots.

Two down

Just finished up two of the new boxes added some Pvc on and some dashboard logos for style.

New Boxes

We decided to get a head start on the up coming season by making some new boxes. In the past we have never really had any "legit" boxes. The only ones we had were just slabs of wood nailed together crooked that took 10 minutes to build and lasted for about the same amount of time, and any boxes we did make we made half way through the season so we got hardly any use out of them. The two boxes that we have made so are a flat one foot tall one foot wide box and a one foot wide flat with a kick starting at a foot and going to a foot and a half. All thats left now is pvc and stenciling.

Amazing Skim Drawing

So sitting in physics class can get boring. My friend Tyler who knows some bits and pieces about flatland skimming drew this amazing picture.



It's a one of a kind haha.

Intro:

Hey, this blog is dedicated to a small group of flatland skimboarders that live in New York. We skim at Southwick Beach on Lake Ontario. The flatland scene is extremely dead over here. Not many people even know what a skimboard is. We have been promoting the sport and have seen a few kids here and there skimming every now and then.

Our small group of riders consists of Matt Flood, Arick Hess, and Peter Flood.
