SKATEBOARDING SPOT BENEFIT

some friends and i are playing this to benefit the brooklyn street skate spot. a little bowl being built in the inner southeast neighborhood of portland (se 16th ave and brooklyn st.). this is an amazing thing for us in the southeast neighborhood and is being done purely by volunteer and funded by the generosity of donors. please come support something awesome!

here's some footage from the beginnings of the spot.
