WINTER BREAK?

KT comin' through with a stylish noseblunt slide in his
hometown. Well worth the five hour drive. Kevin Taylor,
Shadyskates, Pittsburgh, PA.
If you lived in one of the best skate cities in the world, this
would be a cold day in hell. Love Park under wraps.
WINTER... THE PERFECT EXCUSE TO STAY INSIDE,
work on the beer gut-maybe sample a little multi-angle
DVD porn all the while cultivating an overpowering
atmosphere of laziness. It's a seasonal plan which seems to
work just fine for the general population of half-frozen
zombies in Philadelphia, but not for the city's skaters. Even
with cold temps and heavy snowfall this year, the crew
found other ways to heat things up... they took it indoors.
This photo story is a condensed account of what went down
during the colder months this year. This is what the
skateboarders of Philadelphia did over their Winter Break.
