Fernando started with one of the basic tricks, which was Ollie. Dang!He pulled up a pretty high Ollie.

Troy and Fernando are not the only people in this skate park. I didn t catch his name but he did a Pop Shove-it on that steep ramp. Well done, sir.

One thing that caught my attention other than the amazing tricks that these guys did was the graffiti around the bowl.

Here s another graffiti that I thought was pretty cool looking.

I heard Troy called my name and he wants me to catch him doing a Nose Grind on of the rails in that skate park. I said, yes sir.

One of my favorite tricks is kick flip and I asked Fernando he can do that trick for me. He said, Of course.

It looks like we have a new comer in this park. This guy just pulled a legit Heel Flip and I was pretty impressed.

I yelled can one of you guys do 50/50 grind? Fernando yelled back to me, you got it! Troy in the background getting ready to top Fernando s trick.

This shirt-less guy kept entertained me with some great tricks throughout the day.

Fernando was singing, Everyday I while doing a kick flip. It was hilarious.

Yeah, that s the same question that I said in my head. Can you do tricks other than Nose Stall?

Fernando applauded Troy s Nose Stall trick. I think he was being sarcastic to Troy because that s all he did in this park.
