Globe Record Leaks - The Cloverdales

Skate

You know you've hit South Surrey when you start seeing this colorway at the skateparks. Why they had to make everything look like a child's ABC blocks, I don't know, but they did and it's weird. Even weirder: we lost the pros at this stop. I mean, their van just didn't show up. So we waited... and waited... Stefan Shipmaker kept us entertained by getting a Razor scooter posse to ante up with a mass 'Tailwhip'. The guys eventually showed up. Turns out they just needed some food and some water (who knew?!!) DeCenzo had a pretty special fondness for this place, but we had to get going if this whole world record thing was going to work.

A little further down the road, we spotted something that resembled a skatepark on our left so we pulled in. We quickly realized it was poor timing as some soccer mom was reaming out 3 little kids for apparently throwing rocks at her son. Her voice and her threats to call the police were enough to drive everyone crazy, but Appleyard pushed through for a couple tricks, then we were on our way.
