Photos by Dashiell Collins

This bench was one of the first spots I noticed when I first moved to the City. It’s on the edge of Golden Gate Park, on Stanyan at Waller. It’s a two minute skate from the Kezar spot (you know, it’s the spot with the pillars and the coral-colored pavement. There’s those two long rails [Bobby Puleo skated it in his seminal part in Penal Code], and every time I skate there I scope out the quadruple-kinked rail that Brian Anderson boardlslid in Welcome to Hell — so sick].

Anyway, I boardslid my little bench — definitely not virgin, but freshly repainted — during my hour lunch break at work (you can see the store front in FTC’s live camera view. Yeah I know — but it’s not what you think), and I tapped Dashiell to shoot a photo for the the fun of it. Like a champ he met up with me a couple days later, this time during his lunch break, and, along with Matt working as a Big Black bouncer-slash-hypeman, got the job done with enough time to grab some falafel
