Today was a bit of prep work for a new addition to the Dream Driveway. It's simply moving rocks and dirt from point a to point b for now, like a bunch of worker ants.
Upgrades to the Dream Driveway

Right there next to that quarter, a rock pile needs to form as the base for extended skateboarding stuff.
Chris Cantwell started The Shop Skateshop in Bradenton recently and knows his way around the 'crete, so he's the foreman or whatever on this. Gitter dunnnnnn.
The pile grows with any random concrete pieces you can find.
Oh there's caulk to be handled? Ryan Clements' jumps right on the caulk. First, however, you must circumcise the caulk before the tip will squirt the macho nectar.
Looks like it's big black caulk, too. You gotta ram that caulk hard like Clem is demonstrating here. Chris is ready to run the train with that caulk.
Ryan's neighbor has some kind of metal shop going on where he provides pieces of the coping.

A Dream Driveway Session With Locals

The long and downhill slope to Ryan's front doorstep is a driveway lined with skate stuff that we started referring to as the Dream Driveway. Yesterday there was a session with a few Tampa locals where I pointed digital devices to capture these images.
Finally Home - Dream Driveway Session
9/20/2013
I feel like a broken record talking about how much I’ve traveled this summer, but damn it’s nice to be home for a bit. There were a few times this year that the coping on the Dream Driveway got a little rusty. So no better way to grind that surface rust right off than to have a few friends over. One of my childhood buddies, James Luedde, is a photographer, and kept asking to shoot some pics, so we hooked it up. Keep in mind that this is his first time ever shooting skating. Not bad.

The Boardr BBQ at the Dream Driveway

Every year while Tampa Am brings all our global friends into town, we have a private party at the #DreamDriveway. It seems to get less and less private each year, but it's all good. Thanks to everyone that showed up for an afternoon of food, friends, skateboarding, and a view of Tampa that most visitors don't get to see.
