The spots in this video inspired the name. Filmed in 2023. This project was intended to be longer, but a few unfortunate events cut the filming short. The project still turned out awesome and it's always good to see skate projects coming from isolated cities like DeKalb Illinois. Places like this tend to be pretty bleak, but when they become skate oasis, everything changes . . . if you skate.
We made a ton of these spots in Dekalb and Rockford, and lot of them are actually pretty good. If you know the satisfaction of going back to a spot you've activated without having to reactivate it, you are blessed. When you do a ton of work to make spots, and make them good, suddenly you just have a ton of places to skate, and then once you have the foundation of skate-able spots, you can start looking for that real obscure stuff. That is the next stage from these areas.
A short and sweet street skateboarding production from 23-24 featuring spots from Dekalb, Elgin, Aurora, Rockford, and Chicago.
