Greetings from Shanghai

I haven't made a post in a while, but I still check the site out like every other week. I was diggin the Slice edit, and I was inspired to make a solo BSCC Shanghai edit. However, my bike got stolen and shortly after I broke my ankle so I never finished this edit, and to top things off the hard drive on my computer died and I lost most of my data. Luckily I retrieved a good chunk of the data from the hard drive, and I found this today while sifting through my old stuff. I've been sitting on this footage for almost half a year now, and since the bike is gone and I'm no longer skating carbons; I figured I should share what I did have, cuz this would've been a fun little edit :)

Morse-Kelley Somerville Skate Playground Nearing Completion

There will be a skate rail on the side of this path.

That rectangular space to the left of the curved angle iron ledge will soon have a skate-able bench.

In between, they plan to squeeze a "Pier 7" pad and skate-able steps.

 The kink roll will have a kink rail soon and there will be "skate-able seating" after, followed by a totem pole.

The curved skate rail is flat/square.

This playground section will have a curved metal bench that may be skate-able.

Willimantic, CT skate park in the works

Used to skate a fun indoor skate park in Willimantic back in the day.
This park may be completed before winter.
