Welcome Aboard George Karvonus


Southside Skatepark has a new team rider, and we don't take that lightly considering that the entire team is a whopping four people and two flow status guys. The images below are of our first out of state team trip to 3rd Lair in Minneapolis, MN with George Karvonus, David Langston, Ben Raybourn, Dakota Roberson and shop friend Sean Villars. We love Sean Villars, just check out that wedgie control in the first pic, amazing style don't you think? So, we were sleeping six people in the hotel room with the hotel only knowing of four when things were starting to get a little boring. So I suppose the guys decided to have a little fun with the Sharpies and consequently George was slightly hazed. David went ahead and put a mustache on in the morning just to even the score a little bit for George. It would be funny, George would start shit with the crew and they would give it back until he cried a little bit, but it was like a fake cry half laugh. He would be trying to get all upset and turn on the tears but he couldn't stop laughing. The black foot, wedgie and mustache are just the tip of the iceberg of what insued over the course of the trip. All in all we had a great trip which allowed us to skate a great park and skate street in Minneapolis and St. Paul for three days. We also found a great tour guide Daina and really made the most of life outside the park and our teams 14th place finish out of 35 shops. Most likely we will be going back next year, but I don't know, I guess it all depends on where things are at.
