Napa Part 2: Concrete Mini

Demarcus brought us to this sweet backyard hand-poured concrete mini. I've never seen anything like it. They just finished it with the pool coping. Sesh-on!

Aaron up first with this crazy salada.


Next he busts out a fat front feeble.


Demarcus attached this think. He had so many crazy bonelesses I lost track.

Here's a sweet 50-50 chunky grind new pool coping.


Last up was Stephen with the front blunt.



For the earlier bank session, see Part 1.

Vallejo

I took a trip out to Vallejo to meet up with Demarcus and Dan. We hit a few local parks and a sketchy Vallejo street spot. Vallejo is pretty much sketchy all the way round. Last year, someone set fire to the courthouse. Vallejo has a population of 115,000 and a total of four, count 'em four, police squad cars.

We started out at X-Park in neighboring Benecia. Demarcus started out with a Layback.
