I am stoked to have this photo as a new fuct shirt,
This sign was posted at one of our favorite skate spots , that just added fuel to the fire . Broken glass,debris,cracks,rubble,irate neighbors and the police. When we cut school it was to skate here along with some other local spots. Time has taken its toll on this place but it remains standing.
