3rd eye skate comp rain out.(throwback post)

i just wanted to bring this back into the spot light for the moment. i think for myself and anyone else there it would be one of the most memorable events to go down all year. the second attempt at the 3rdeye skate team competition that went down on May 18,2008.

the comp itself started out in a fairly unorthodox way. Since the spot that we were going to for the comp was about an hour or more away from where most people lived and was a spot that only Hector Rodriguez(3rd eye skate team co-founder) knew the location of,it was decided that everyone who was going to the comp would have to meet up on the train platform
on east 180st in the bronx.


about 2 hours later enough of us got there and we all packed into the train and took it to the last stop where we caught a 30 minute ride on a bus. we got off the bus and it started to rain. a crowd of about 50 skaters proceeded to talk for about an hour in the rain to the spot where the comp would be held.


once we got there, the spot was a bit wet and it was still raining but being the tough group of skaters they were, they decided to try to hold the comp anyway......5 minutes after the first skaters' frames touched the rail of the first spot we were kicked out by security...thus ending the second attempt at the comp and starting the long walk back towards civilization. luckily the sun came out on the way back.



the comp was again held a month later in the bronx. shout outs to hector for proving how tough skaters are. and shout outs to all the skaters who didnt bail before we were officially shut down.
check out a short edit from that day.
