Memoirs of a Gypsy: Happy Barfday AMERICA!

What better way to celebrate America's Independence from British Rule than getting all your homies together in a place we all love and bbq-ing up some good eats all while having that good old RED, WHITE, and BLUE to wash it all down with? Saif and Sombo decided to throw a 4th of July bash at Rosa Park yesterday and it went off! The day was filled with dudes renegading beers left and right, watergun assaults on some foolish fools, lighting cigarettes with sparklers, a best trick jam, and jumping discarded tires for our freedom. Saif and Brown Steve held down the grill game hard, grilling everything from burgers, wieners, chicken, corn, and even oysters. The park started to get pumped up soon as dudes started hucking carcass for the Best Trick contest. The contest was an all jam format to get the best trick on any obstacle at the park. Rules were simple: 1 hour to get buck, all obstacles can be skated, and top 3 win. Junge Bananas placed 3rd with an ollie up and over the funbox to flat. Nards got 2nd, I don't exactly know which trick he won with but he did a bs 360 nosegrab outta Maiden, and a sw fs nosegrind across the whole box. Finally, for 1st was B (Sinath), with a Nollie bs 180 front foot flip or as Hitcher puts it, a Nollie 180 Kickstart. After the park, we loaded up the rides and headed to 7th Street Parking Garage to watch the fireworks and to light some of our own.
