Roadtrip San Francisco to Pacifica!

Another fine Chris Olden photo ripped from the Bulldogskates.com website!

I was out of the usual camera-always-in-hand mindset since I was running on 4 hours sleep in a 24 hour period. But we do what we gotta do to get our skate on. Right? Sometimes these roadtrips produce great pics, but the overall trip was just ok. This trip was a blast but the pics came out pretty crappy. Here are a few to prove we were there! Enjoy.

Potrero Del Sol Skatepark. San Francisco, Ca.

Potrero is a fun skatepark. Above is a shot of the bowl area. Three upper pockets: the mini clamshell, the real tight (almost too tight) middle pocket, and a real nice round pool style pocket. All three waterfall into the larger three sided deep end. Good crete work, nice pool coping, a few mellow spots blended with some aggressive trannys gives this area some appeal for everyone.

The deep end.

The open flow area. Careful, it flows downhill!

Pacifica, Ca. Did I mention the weather was perfect for touring?

One of our last stops was the Purple Skunk Skateshop back in San Francisco. The folks there are the best! A family style shop, ran by knowledgable skaters and dedicated snowboarders. Snowboards, Skateboards, Longboards, and all the gear that goes along. Support them because the support the skate community. (pictures from one of their past events posted soon) Where else can you check out a loaner longboard and find out what is feels like to bomb a San Francisco street? Can't say enough good things about them. Stop in or shop online!
