TF2

January 20, 2009 | Filed Under Skateboarding, SpotCheck | 2 Comments

After our unsuccessful attempt at trying to find some pools to skate out in Montecito, we decided to utilize our time wisely by finding other spots to shred while we were in Santa Barbara.  Let me introduce to you “TF2” aka Training Facility 2.  Some of the Santa Barbara locals told us about this abandoned car dealership lot that had a bunch of makeshift bumps with lots of wood and metal objects to spare so that we can build our own stuff.  (Kinda like LEGOS, real creative.)  As we approached the spot we already saw lockers that were laid down for ledges, a bank to bank pyramid (which we spiffed up a bit), hip to table, cinder blocked ledge with coping, pole jam, and a shitload of other stuff to skate.  Needless to say we had a pretty fun skate sesh going on that day…

Hip to “Whatever You Liiikkkeee…”

After skating the spot for a bit, we were joking around and comparing our “makeshift skateparks” from one end of the lot towards the other where the little grommets were sessioning a ghetto kicker and cinder blocked ledge with coping.  We called the 2 spots the Major League Area & the Little League Area.  The Major League Area (that we created) had the best obstacles by far, however, the Little League Area (that the groms created) has lights for night sessions.

This video camera right here is the same camera that brought you ALL of your favorite Shorty’s videos with Muska, etc. as well as the Church Of Skatan ones.  Check out the mic on that thing.  It’s hanging on a limb.

  2. You really think people from LA and SF are going to drive all the way out there to skate this spot? If it’s already in SB the chances are people from Oxnard, Ventura and the surrounding areas already know about it. Word gets around quick…
