The Mill




















Last time I went home and visited a friend (Aleks) and I went and skated at our old favorite skate spot. This place used to be an old saw mill, but when it shut down they tore down all the buildings revealing smooth concrete adn gaps everywhere. I call it the mill, but it's realy a perfect example of American wasteland, teenage wasteland.



The great thing about the mill is that it really is more than one spot though, it's a pile of spots all in the same general area. If you want to just chill and skate flat land you can do that, if you want to do some drops that option is open, if you wanna toss yourself over some gaps go for it. About the ony thing the mill doesn't have is stairs, but it makes up for it by having so many other options.





this particular time we found an old table top that was very smooth and slick, we set it up on an old door so it would be higher and then Aleks proceeded to throw down a 50/50 and 5-0. They were great shots.

















We ended up going a bit too late in teh afternoon and before we knew it darkness was creeping in, so we buckled down and tried a few more tricks before calling it a night and heading home. It was great, brought back some good memories of home.
