For anyone that doesn't know, I am from a very small, rural part of Utah. Monroe was where I went to school, and we dubbed our skate crew "Team Monroe". We were a close knit bunch, since we comprised the entire skate community in our little group. Skateboarding wasn't so hot in the mid to late 90s and especially not so hot in rural Utah. We honed our skills on homemade boxes, rails, quarterpipes, and random junk we brought to empty parking lots. No skateparks, not even good street spots. But we always had fun.
Today we skated almost all day-- at Orem park, and then two street spots. I brought my camera, but just like in the old days, I was having too much fun skating to stop and take any photos. I managed to get out the G10 and snap these at the end of the day as everyone had used up all their energy and sun was setting. We're all going to be sore tomorrow...I already am. We certainly aren't 17 anymore.
