So just the other day Dogboy, the creator of one of the best flow bowls in Texas and most definitely the worst street course ever seen graced Galveston, Texas with his presence. Although it was his birthday he was greeted by a locked gate down on the island. Before the bolt cutters arrived people were hopping the fence left and right. There is just something ironic about the guy who spent a little over 3 months of his life to build the skatepark having to break into it to actually skate it. Not to be deterred a set of bolt cutters found there way around the lock and with a quick little snipperoo the session commenced on schedule. Not really sure why things seem to always work out this way for our local free parks here in the Greater Houston area, but they do. If you ever find yourself without a razor and in need of a grip job, don't hesitate to just rip your grip into pieces and scatter it about on your new deck, according to Dogboy it will most likely skate the same. Now in his 32nd year, Dogboy has been working on project after project all across Texas. We have him in town with the rest of the ramp crew to help us bang out a sick update to the street course here at the park. The rebuild will begin this Monday and be completed and ready to rip by Friday evening so that we can open for normal business Saturday promptly at 11am. Hope you enjoyed the street course this year, but as promised the annual update must take place to keep things bangin' here at Southside, just like it has been for the last 15 years!
