I have been gathering up and downloading a bunch of old pictures that I ( Bub ) have taken over the last 30 years or so, and will be posting them here in the blog on the days I'm working. Maybe it should be called "old photo of every other day" ...or something. Either way this is a shot taken of an old friend named Dave Miller. Dave was from Acton and this shot was taken at "the Pit" in Stow where I used to live. If I remember right , it's a 26" Mongoose cruiser. The shots from Oct 1983....almost 26 years ago now......and yes Tabor, the jump had a name. He's laughing as he reads this....The King Burrito aka KB. When Taco Bell was only on the West coast it was somewhere we wanted to go and eat. Now that it's here too I wish it stayed on the West coast. Somehow the jump was named after a burrito. I didn't name it, but it was a booter for it's time.

OLD PHOTO OF THE DAY

follow up to fitch grill and chill
The day started out with dark clouds and scattered showers, a humid, sticky, typical New England summer day. The kick off began around 3 with meat sticks being cooked and water to wash them down....Fitchburg loves the meat sticks, went through about 150 dogs in under an hour.
Three parts of the park were chosen for the contest. First being the hip, second being the bank to ledge and last of all the spine/drop to flat.
Locals ripping and non locals ripping, Prizes went out to Josh lambert, Tim Lafortune, Luke Macfee, Bobby Hommel and Chad Stevenson
Thanks to everyone who came out, Thanks to Bones and EasternBoarder, Thanks to SHAPE!.

P. ROD PARK
With the majority of skaters spending most of their time on the streets this is probably going to be one of the most well duplicated "street parks" ever made. Nice and spread out with a great variety of things you would seek out anyway. Check the Nike site for more.

WOOD
We got a nice run of Creature decks back in today along with some Anti Hero, Indy 139's and 129's.
EXTREME CRUMBS
With the last of the pieced together wood and screws this "slant box" was made. The coping side is just high enough to make it skate a bit like a round rail too. Brent gave it a little test today between the raindrops.

MONEY WELL SPENT

FITCHBURG GRILL AND CHILL
We're going to have some cool prizes from our friends at Skate One for the Fitchburg Grill and Chill Sunday June 28th. Bones wheels are made for all types of skating and tend to have way better chances to NOT flatspot compared to other brands..check them out in the shops and TRY THEM OUT..you'll be stoked.
BONES WHEELS
Skate Park Formula
SPF is very high quality urethane specifically formulated to resist flatspotting on slick or smooth surfaces while maintaining a higher rebound for a quicker response and a faster roll. SPF also has a high resistance to abrasion while not compromising hardness. SPF grips better on slick surfaces, is hard to flatspot, lasts longer and rolls faster than the competition.
Street Tech Formula
BONES FACTORY ENGINEERED, TESTED AND MADE.
The top quality component blend, obtaining REVOLUTIONARY STREET TECH FORMULAS. Higher rebound, faster speed, increased Slide-ability with more resistance to flat spotting than ever before. STF performance reaches 100% beyond all standard skate wheels today.
Leading the industry. Factory Tested, Team Tested, Factory Approved, Team Approved.
Ditch Tech Formula
We were riding our local ditch and after a week we decided we needed a custom designed formula to handle the terrain. One more benefit to having our own factory. We walked the train tracks back and three days later we were testing DTF is specifically engineered from top quality components to obtain all the best properties necessary for the ultimate in street wheel performance.
SoftCore
Most requested ATF, or All-Terrain Formula. Filmers favorites, store run riders, boulevard bombers. SoftCore wheels are excellent for rougher terrain. When navigating through the cracks of the city’s repaving budget, ATF wheels will roll you there quickly and smoothly.
