Comments: Home Grown DIY Crete. Everyone has some kinda
of story about FDR. Mine stems from recovering from my 2 yr hiatus
of nerve surgery. After I was forced in the car at gun point and
carried there kicking and screaming I finally subdued and after
driving all night found my self rolling around in a sea of concrete
at 7 am. After meeting a local named Ryan we all had some lines
before the madness of the day ensued. After a few trips up there
we met, Bryan, Scott Green, Foamy, General Lee, Chris, Boozy,
Joey P, Garry Moore, Carlos, Sarah, Willy, Neil, Griffon and many
others.making this a sort of home away from home sorta place.
I don't get up there as much as I would like to, but by he looks
of things, that is gonna change.
New Terrain! From what I gather
there is already new crete poured and being skated. Connecting
to this new crete there will be a 12 ft deep bowl. Add this to
all the remodeling that went down last summer and FDR is still
one of the premier spots of the East.Check the shots below for
more details. Actions speak louder than words.
