PSA: Always check the bowl

Cold day at the skatepark is usually a great time to run the bashers because nobody is here.

Well I was running my Big Rock (3s luckily) around the bowl at the top corner of this pic from this same angle. Carved it full speed and all of a sudden heard a thud and a “what the fuck?”

Turned out there was a person sleeping in there and I had no fucking clue. It was pretty awkward driving the truck away from him. I felt pretty bad but I never would have expected a person to be lying on the ground there. I’m just glad it was my 3S Big Rock and not my Maxx. The Maxx weighs about 3x as much and goes a LOT faster. More durable too so I would have been running it harder… could have been a lot worse.

Well instant karma hit me a couple minutes later when I kept running the truck on the other side of the park and I broke a rear hub carrier.

So the moral is… always check the bowl before you dive in because there could be a guy there…
